Maybe that is why none of us are 3 times world drivers champion

Maybe. But maybe that's just because we don't drive a Red Bull

I tried but they threatened court action...

Senna seemed to be closer to god in the car.

Why is everyone so surprised that Vettel has a win at all cost attitude.

That's not what surprises me. A ruthless winner everyone can deal with especially when they deliver. It's the sour loser that comes out when things don't go his way that's more telling of character.

Same could be said about Webber. He had a fair sulk on and a face like a skelped arse.

The thing to remember is that these are mainly young guys who are ultra competitive so when things don't go their way they are all going to appear to be having a strop immediately afterwards. Some take a bit longer to calm down than others.

Excuses excuses. I'd rather see a punch thrown than a catty comment made. Vettel isn't just a win at all cost guy, he's a win at all cost everything there is and leave nothing for anyone else guy.

When he does lose, it's not pretty. Remember Turkey? Webber es muy loco.

But what the hell, he's got a winning streak going and doesn't taste defeat often so good on him. Let's see how he handles is when the joy ride is over.

Throwing a punch is the last act of a desperate imbecile of low intelligence.

Why should he (or anyone else) leave anything for anyone else? Sod everyone else and win at all costs is what it's about. Do you honestly think Webber would have repaid the favour if Vettel had obeyed the team order? Would he thump! As mnmracer has pointed out at great length, Webber is sometimes not particularly great at obeying team orders.

He's often said that he expects the winning streak to end at some point so I'd say he's probably pretty well prepared for it and once the initial disappoint is past he'll be back to being the nice cuddly media friendly Top Gear guest Vettel you all want to see.

There's a worse version in these parts - a mini!

Haha yeah, there's a Red Bull Mini that 'lives' not too far from me.

Crash.net:

Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel was confirmed as Infiniti's director of performance this week at the New York International Auto Show.

This latest announcement 'extends' and 'enhances' Vettel's relationship with Infiniti which formally began in 2011. In this capacity, the three-time F1 world champion has already played a crucial role in developing Infiniti's vehicle line-up, starting with the exclusive Infiniti FX Vettel Edition and most recently with the all-new Infiniti Q50.

“Sebastian's talent and ability behind the wheel is unquestionable and his role in developing Infiniti vehicles has already proven invaluable,” said Infiniti president Johan de Nysschen. “How many premium automotive brands can honestly say its vehicles have been developed alongside a triple World Champion?

“As our technical collaboration with Infiniti Red Bull Racing continues to deepen, so does our relationship with Sebastian who will be crucial to the development of our future vehicle line-up, ensuring Infiniti stands for passion and performance in a brand that challenges the status quo.”

“I am really happy to extend my relationship with Infiniti and become their director of performance,” added Vettel.

“Helping to develop the Infiniti Q50 was a very different type of driving duty for me but I approached it in exactly the same way as I do my F1 car. I am looking forward to working closely with Infiniti in developing more of their road cars into the future.”

Shouldn't this have been under Red Bull Spin? At least all Lewis needs to do to collect a paycheck is let them name a car Mercedes AMG SLS 'black'.

:rofl: Shouldn't this have been under Red Bull Spin? At least all Lewis needs to do to collect a paycheck is let them name a car Mercedes AMG SLS 'black'.

maybe he likes being involved in car design?

Riiiight. In the same way Wolfgang Puck is involved in designing cheap Chinese made cookware.

Vettel will soon change the choice of digit for his post race one finger salute, Especially for Mark.

[andrew]

I hear he's been practicing with this.

Why, is Mark going to cut that finger off one day? Won't be surprised! There won't be a 'choice' then.
