Yeah,i am able to do that very well


Me too Elfinitty! And I have three prime candidates on my list for arrogance. They are drivers I dislike, and its because of their attitude not their driving. However, if I placed those three in order of arrogance, it would not correspond to the order in which I currently dislike them.
Do you have three candidates for the arrogance podium? I wonder if they would be the same as mine??


Ha!

:thumbup: Spot on girl :rofl: The third one at the height of his arrogance was before your time, he has little to be arrogant about at the moment.

Think of a driver who expected his team-mate to support him to ridiculous lengths, expected rules to apply to others but not him. Would not hesitate to play dirty(cheat) if he thought he could get away with it, particuarly in the height of a championship battle. He's not really in a position to employ his tactics at the moment(since current team mate is wiping the floor with him and he isnt fighting for the championship) Any ideas?

Good job: damaging little girls' minds....
:rolleyes:

Vettel is not arrogant at all.
Wont even bother to mention much about the other 2. But one is the 7 time WDC, most prolific F1 driver of all time.
And the other... well, there's a couple more races to go in the season. Let's wait and let the :whip: talk for itself. All I know is, even those in a car that's 1.5 secs faster are afraid. Ha!

Senna wasn't arrogant.

your confusing arrogance and confidence.

oh and


LOL


Mate, I almost wet myself at this comment. In what way do you think Senna confidence is different to Vettel's arrogance? Where's the line draw?

Suzuka 1989 and 1990 were both his fault. And he played the victim? This is arrogance because Sebastien does the same thing when things don't go his way, and you all say it's his arrogance.

In both 1989 and 1990 Senna was the driver behind, today you would label a driver and idiot if he attempted the same move. Yet Senna is a driver who I have utmost respect for.

Why you guys dismiss drivers just because of their personality beats me...

Hey - I'd be happy with "yeah, the guy's talented." Because that's a fact. Who dares to go against this true statement?

When you compare his pre-F1 stats to Hamilton, sure he is not as good. But the guy is fast. Faster than Hamilton in my opinion. The guy can overtake, obviously not as good as Hamilton but consider this stat: In 08 Monaco Vettel qualified 19th and finished 5th. In 09 Hamilton qualified 16th and finished 12th. Obviously a rash conclusion to make seeing as that McLaren was one dog of a car, but I like it. :thumbup:


EDIT - Damn it - I've busted my arse for the past hour watching Youtube videos a researching stat to prove how good Vettel is, and a who conversation has been posted in the mean time? :irked:

Where can you draw the line between confidence and arrogance?


when someone achives what he did.


So what you're saying here Gaz is that once Vettel wins 3 world championships (at the end of this year he could have secured 2, but might still have 0 at this rate...) then his arrogance will miraculously change to confidence?

Do tell.... :wink:


Suzuka 1989 Was a racing incident 50/50 Senna recovered and should of won but the Bias Frencheman who ran FISA disqualifed Senna which was utterly stupid.

He gained no advantage from missing the chicane.

Suzka 1990 Was again because the FISA leader intervined. Senna asked for Pole to be changed from the dirty side of the track to the racing line. FISA intialy agreed but Balstre (head of FISA) intervined and it was left on the dirty side of the track.

You don't know the back story your comparing Turkey 2010 to Suzka 1989 Senna was attempting an overtake on a corner he didn't just drive into his prost on the straight like vettle.

You say Senna was the driver behind, no in 1990 he had pole.

Senna's pre-f1 career was so far removed from Hamiltons its pointless to compare.

Hamilton dominated his Pre-F1 career because he had finiancal backing from Mclaren. Hamilton would of made it to F1 without Mclaren but he got there alot Quicker and into a top team alot faster because of it.

You compared Monaco 2008 which Hamilton Won from running 5th at one point and he would of won by nearly 1min but for the safty car. Monaco 2009 was Dry so there was less pitting and no refuling you can't compare.

Vettle is a good fast lap driver, not a racing driver who can not admit when he was wrong.

So what you're saying here Gaz is that once Vettel wins 3 world championships (at the end of this year he could have secured 2, but might still have 0 at this rate...) then his arrogance will miraculously change to confidence?

Do tell.... :wink:


He could of secured two? sorry have i missed somthing is Brawn GP going to get banned and Vettle handed a championship?

Hes not won any yet, nor has he won any races from anything but Pole.

Vettle is arrogant because he drives his team mate of the track then acts like a total muppet.

Not at all, I let Elfinitty guess. Just said that I had three on my list. As has been mentioned, females are quite good at this :)

Yes, quite good at confusing confidence with arrogance :)

They also are a lot better at persuasion... :gonnagetit:
We males, are still as good as our neanderthal forefathers':
:hammer: You're with me :hehe::D

Not a chance.
Senna was surely on pole, but by the time him and Prost had reached turn 1, he was massively behind!

So what? Was this 50/50 like Suzuka '89?
No way!
This was Senna's fault, and there's no way of getting out from this!
He drove straight into Prost, with no intention whatsoever to take the corner.

That to me is wrong and a bit arrogant. I still respect Senna, mind you.


@ racechick: I avoid to comment on Michael Schumacher. It would be pretty useless, because we would disagree at any time.
But let me ask you this: How come Alonso and Vettel are arrogant, but Senna wasn't? What's the difference? (especially between Vettel and him, as this topic should be about Vettel)
