I don't think that anyone could say that their achivements are not impressive.

I have no doubt Seb will recover swiftly from this bad episode. He always does, from what we've seen so far.

Take his first big F1 clanger for example, when he took out Red Bull's Mark Webber when they were both running in great positions at Fuji in 2007. In the next race at Shanghai he was up in 4th!

Then, after taking out Jenson Button at Spa in 2010, he was back leading the RBR charge in Monza (albeit a track which did not favour the Austrian team).

So, despite the fact his behaviour has been called into question, and rightly so, I'm sure it will blow over if the RBR starts to get better.

Let's face it, all drivers are just human beings. Everyone has tough moments. That's why I like this sport even more.

Indeed. As much as I hate the guy, I am also 24 and I know how passionate, hot blooded, and temperamental I can be (and I'm sure many of you know too, with all my and ) so I would expect the same from him. I get super pissed when I up on F1 2011...I can imagine the stress/joy/disappointment/anger/fun is exponentially greater doing the real thing, especially when you come to expect so much from yourself

Tell me about it mate! Anyone else in the same room as me, when I'm playing a racing game, certainly knows about it when I've buggered things up!

Calm down, vettel has along way to go before I would ever consider him in that league, I get what your hinting at there.

Being able to have a temper isn't a legendary skill.

His point, and otherwise mine, is that Vettel can not be put down as 'unworthy', 'a bad name for the sport', 'unchampionlike' or anything like that for his outburst.

I think that applies to any driver that has fought for an won a WDC, the point is that people don't always use the same yardstick when measuring.

I'm 28 and I'm still like that but over more important things these days.

Having said that, I don't play computer games a great deal. The few games that I do have are up North, because my little laptop which I use in London doesn't have enough capacity!

Hey! F1 2011 is very important!

I used to be very passionate during my high school days when EA was churning out F1 games year after year. I considered them as 'training' for the real thing. So passionate that once I was in a race, and the PC hung for a second and when it came back, my car was sliding off and into a barrier. I ended up punching the CPU front case so hard it actually bent inwards...and when my dad asked me about it, I was like 'dunno, just happened'.

I still play EA games though on and off, but no more real passion. Guess I woke up to the fact that driving in F1 has eluded me in this life at least.
