Is Vettel the worst Ferrari driver ever? At least the last 20 years?

I remember him being sacked from his long term testing role after filling in for one race. Was that after Massa was sprung?

Alesi was a coulthard or a heinz harold or a webber. A decent race driver that got beat by better or more autistic ones. Rosberg would be here in this group too if it wasn't for hamilton's only demonstration of his humanity to date in losing to the worse guy for once.

Top fuel dragsters are cool from an engineering perspective (they manage to completely fuse 5 clutch disks together every race, and the gearbox has to be fully replaced)

But that ain't really racing IMO. Two seconds of going straight. It requires its own skill but its more like a stunt than racing.

The pinnacle of motorsports has and will forever be Rally. Especially the fabled historic Group B.

Everything else is baby stuff. You race the same laps over and over? How quaint.

They don't even have a gearbox. It's just that centrifugal clutch hooking up more and more the faster they go.

Plus the crazy poo poo whereby the tires end a run like 8 inches taller than they started.

That's true, there's no real gears or shifting.

And yeah, they also intentionally under-inflate the tires so they'll stretch and twist and warp and end up grabbing more contact area

Yeah they don't fuse clutches either unless something goes wrong, I've watched them rebuild them in the pits. They just get so hot that you have to wear NASA oven mitts to handle them. They do melt spark plugs though.

Vettel whining about a three place grid drop for not slowing down enough under red flag conditions in the wet is everything that’s wrong with Vettel. We could mention Jules (god rest him) but this is the knobber who manages to plant his car in the wall under the safety car in the wet this season.

Dude’s gone all Grosjean and should retire to his family tbh.
