But do they have any other choice? If they sign Sirotkin, they can stay in the series... You know, money talks.
Yeah, but I mean having 2 pay drivers one of which has been awful in F1 and the other who shouldn't be anywhere near F1 yet.
You are right. But unfortunately desperate times call for desperate measures... I'd rather have Sauber with 2 pay drivers than not have them at all on track...

Hmmm so i guess it's time to stop watching F1. Just like i did during the Schumacher time, I didnt watch 2003,04,05 except for a few races here and there.

Similar case now. Yea Vettel is good. But not worth all these titles.

Vettel's 2013 season is surely the best of his career so far. He is becoming more and more a machine like Schumacher used to be in his prime. :thumbsup:
And let's not forget that he is still only 26. There's still so much potential for improvement!

Vettel and Alonso were the two best drivers again. Rarely do you get two drivers so consistently getting the best from their cars... over and over again.

But i would vote Hulkenberg ;)

Caption fail.

Mansell should be listed as 6th not 5th.

I see both sides of the coin with regard to Vettel's success. On the one hand, he came into F1 as a teenager and only spent a year in a midfield team before slotting himself into the best car on the grid, and I see why some may be troubled by that; Vettel's pretty much only ever known life at the front. However, the best drivers also tend to end up having the best cars. There can be no doubt at this point that Vettel, despite his relative youth, has some of the greatest talent ever seen in Formula 1 and his near 4 Drivers' Championships prove that.

It's normal to be critical of seemingly endless success, I known I've been critical of him at times, but Vettel is really emerging to be in a class all his own, and will doubtlessly be the defining driver of the V8 and possibly even the V6 Turbo era.

I wish there's a video for this conversation :lol:
Q: (Andrea Cremonesi - La Gazzetta dello Sport) Sebastian, during the race we heard a little message radioed by you that you were complaining about the rear light on the Vettel car. I would like to know how disturbing, how annoying it was for you during the race?

SV: Me?

FA: Was the question for me? Well, it was...

SV: Will you listen now? You complained about the red light?

FA: Yeah, yeah. It was disturbing a little bit. Obviously it's a very strong light with no rain.

SV: It's worse in here.

FA: Sebastian is not used to having a car in front so he doesn't know how it feels to have a red light on but when you are behind, a little bit close, it's always flashing and sometimes you just have to touch one button because that's the red light or something that you press by mistake, if he could switch, but he didn't. So the whole race I had it flashing in my eyes.

SV: I was trying to get away so it wasn't disturbing you so much.

FA: You didn't...

I was expecting that, besides it is not personal on Vettel. Every race winner in Italy gets the same "warm manifestations", unless he drives a Ferrari, even if he is Italian. Some of you may rememeber the ice cold atmosphere in 1990 in Imola when Patrese won driving a Williams.
To be frank I was more surprised by the boos on Vettel in Silverstone and Spa.

Anyone who complains about booing are imbeciles. Alonso was jeered in silverstone, italy and Germany. Hamilton in spain and brazil. Schumacher in silverstone and monaco.

its a bloody sport. If your not allowed to boo your opponent you shouldnt be allowed to cheer your driver then.
