Vettle looks like an actress from The Newsroom in that...
Edit:
or maybe not.

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
Horner said the banning of exhaust-influenced rear aerodynamics, a technology in which Red Bull had excelled in the previous four seasons, had a big effect on Vettel.
"The rule changes were significant and the two guys who seem to have been affected most are Seb and Kimi and I think taking away the rear downforce has actually been a big factor for Sebastian," Horner said
Liam, thats no way to talk about the new Tifosi hero
SKYF1 “Seb didn’t enjoy the regulation changes,” Red Bull chief Horner was quoted as saying by the Guardian. “He didn’t enjoy the new engine, the feel from the new system, the power unit, the brake by wire, the lack of downforce.
“You could tell he wasn’t happy. He was preoccupied and to compound that his team-mate won three races. There was that feeling ‘am I enjoying this as much as I thought I was?’
“It was like someone had taken his toy away. It took him a while to get to grips with that. It was not something he was used to. He went through a period of disillusionment about the direction Formula 1 was going in. There was a stage last year when he thought whether he wanted to stop or not, whether he was getting the same level of enjoyment or not and whether or not he wanted to continue.”

The main thing about the Red Bull situation, unlike the other 2 sec cars like Brawn is the teams treatment of Webber. Seb is claimed great because it appears that Webber cannot match him in any way in the same car thereby making Seb look exceptional
But this is where the distortions start. The cars are not equal, Webber is not treated equally, and when given the chances has matched Seb. And for me everytime Sebs car dos not have exceptional rear downforce and traction, he looks average,, excessive oversteer, poor race craft, mistakes, crashing into others trying to overtake.
Ask yourselves this, if Red Bull had had Webber come a close second in every race Seb has won, like in Japan 2013, or even beat Seb 40% of the time (like in 2012) would Seb look that good?
In 2010 Seb won 5 times and Webber won 4 times, yet Seb won 3-1 in second half of year after the evidence of Seb favoured (wing-gate)
In 2010 Red Bull won 9 times and 4 of those were 1,2s
Contrast that to the stats of say 2013, its not rocket science. Did Webber suddenly get really bad, yet suddenly matches Seb like in 2010 everytime Sebs car has his trick missing
Senna, Fangio, MS were never beaten by team mates like Di Resta, and always looked good no matter the car they were driving
The facts tell us MS won WDCs in different cars, Alonso has proven himself in different cars, Lewis has led a mid grid team to the front.
Seb has had cars built around him by Newey, has been matched by average teammates, and most alarmingly always looks average when the car doesn't have a particular system.
Yes titles are won by drivers in good cars, yet if we look at the years the WDC and WCC were not won by the same team, we see that Lewis has not won in the best car, Alonso has not won in the best car. Seb has always won in the best car (biggest WCC margins) despite the handicapping of his teammate.
[b]Seb is good, but great drivers do not need to stick a finger up to remind the audience that their car is number 1.[/b] Does anyone here truthfully believe Nick Heidfeld would not have won the WDC in at least 2011 and 2013 with that car?
