If Vodafone get another podium i´ll honk on my TV.

Fisi needs to get his arse up and score some points. He´s letting the team down big time.
Vodafone are as good as third in the constructors, thanks to the fact that we are a one man team since Hungary.

I reckon that Vettel is a realistic chance (of the title).
Three-way fights have, in the past, ended with the underdog winning (1986 and 2007 for example).

but Vettel has make a stupid thing which can cost him the title : he made the fastest lap when he didnt need to push.

So, if his engine broke on abu diabi, or interlagos, it will be his fault
Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne, Michael Schumacher = DREAM TEAM

This only shows how difficult is to drive the F60. Finishing 4th in this car is a Miracle :roll::

OK.
But Vettel wasn't pushing overly hard anyway. He was just going at the pace that was comfortable.

He was probably doing those times easing off, he was miles quicker today. Also Red Bull would have made sure they weren't damaging the engine, Vettel was controlling the pace throughout.
