:hehe: leave him alone he's already put in his half hour effort... he's exhausted.
Do we actually have any openly supportive Vettel fans on here this season?

He was OK on the old layout, and he got pole last year. A record that hardly strikes fear.
Nico will keep plugging away. It seems it's all he has to do. He's breached that psychological barrier of being a win and then some up. His luck might hand him the championship, then what do you do, bitch about it? Nobody won a championship on pure skill.
It feels now that the extra speed Hamilton has is no longer an advantage because he finds a way of negating it. I'm starting to feel we've seen this before in Hamilton, this psychological weakness we pretend is misfortune.
By psychological weakness, do you mean he won't use tactics other than driving fast and fair? Because I see no evidence of psychological weakness, just a guy who won't play games to win. Who puts his hand up when he makes an error and gets pissed off when others resort to alternative tactics. He is what you see.
If that's a weakness , I'll take it over duplicity.

Holy moly. This is like Maradona's Hand of God goal. You really have to let it go.
Reverse Monaco and he'd still be behind. He still should have won the last two races but bottled it in quali. There's no use stepping in to defend the man when there is no defence. Nico hasn't pulled any other dubious moves, he just keeps finishing ahead and that's not the way it's allowed to be apparently.
And let's not keep having this altered reality where Hamilton's should be ahead because he's faster. DNFs are a part of racing. The general consensus before the season started was if Nico wins the title even if it's through Hamilton's DNFs, so be it. Monaco aside Nico's leading the championship fair and square.
It's gutting, I get that. But I realise Hamilton has a psychological weakeness that Nico's exploiting by proxy, and it's pointless denying it.
I have to let what go? The facts of the situation? No, won't do that.
If Monaco were reversed Rosberg would still be ahead. Correct. And that's because Lewis has had two DNF's . All part of racing absolutely. But let's not try to pretend Lewis is behind because he messed up one quali session, let's be real about this and stick to the facts. He's behind because of the DNF's. Has Nico 'messed up' all the other quali sessions where he's finished behind Lewis? no, just not been quite as fast , as happened to Lewis in Canada.
Rosberg doesn't 'keep finishing ahead' of Hamilton, he's done so twice. That's exactly half of the times Hamilton has finished ahead of Rosberg. Again,your facts aren't quite right.
I've never suggested Rosberg has made any dubious moves other than the Monacco quali move. He's driving extremely well, though again, if you look at the error rate you'll find he's made more errors than Lewis, they just haven't cost him; and of course when Hamilton makes ONE mistake suddenly he has a psychological weakness and is error stewn. It really is laughable.
