i just cant agree Vettel is not up to the mark in my opinion.

[McLamilton]

Maybe to say Vettel's the "best" would be a bit over-hyped. No doubt, he is talented, but not the best, yet. Maybe in a few more years' time?

[Gilles 27]

He was the fastest driver last year. That's the most important thing to me.

mmmm, I think Lewis was the fastest given the circumstances of the cars.

[Big Azza]

Just watching that kid drive in ROC and Formula One... He is the best.

Did they vote for Vettel on his performance during the season, or is it his talent overall?

Talent over all he wins hands-down.

Talent in an F1 car? He'd be about third. (Promoted from 4th after Raikkonen's Exodus )

I think that is true and not bias in anyway.

I would love to see him on Top Gear. Perhaps he's the Stig?

Imagine Vettel v. The Stig.

Its easy to rig the ROC results I saw them do it in Paris, I was there live. they rigged it for Schumacher. The cars arent equal either.One broke down in one of the races.

Cars break down in A1.

[f1ea]

Yes, Vettel knows

[vaptin]

Eh, I thought vettle got to the semies in the ROC individual events?

Ive decided I much prefer mark Hughes ranking over the team bosses, it goes thus
1 Hamilton (as soon as the car could perform he was consistently brilliant- Monza showed still capable of mistakes)
2 Button (Very effective when car was superior, but with a less competitive car, he dropped and lost consistency)

Uhm...Not to put too fine a point on it, but the justification for Button being below Hamilton is that he wasn't good enough when the car was poor....But the explanation for Hamilton being top is that he was good once the car improved...

Um...What?

Heh, i concur - does wanting to retire the car in Germany just because he was a lap down, dropping it from a podium spot on the last lap or spinning multiple times in China sound like the actions of driver of the year? Go figure... Button literally dominated when the car was the best and once Red Bull overtook them (and other teams caught up/overtook them too) he pulled off a brilliant display of damage limitation - his only non-points finish was when he was punted off at Spa! I can't even recalled him making any real mistakes, and i'm pretty damn sure he's the only driver who could make that claim this season.

Well he was pretty poor in qualifying towards the back end of the season, and they made some mistakes in terms of strategy during Qualy (Eg. at Interlagos), but during the races he was about as peerless as he was earlier in the year.

I was referring more to driver errors there, but yeah.

Oh yeah, I know.
