1. I am not alone on my thoughts on Vettel. I hesitated to write it until I saw my opinion was shared by others.

2. I dont think I am being hard on him but he is not progressing is he. He was like a Bull in a China shop. He just goes charging into situations without thinking about the consequences if people dont let him complete his intended moves. The marque drivers are not just going to let him through or give ground just because its Max Verstappen so inevitably they come together. There are numerous examples of this with Max. Using the Hamilton comparison can you imaging the furor if Hamilton had as many "incidents" as Max? Great drivers dont let their temperament get the better of their judgement. Controlled anger is fine, Max is uncontrolled anger. Also going back to what Jody mentioned on other threads why does he want Hulkenberg in the other car Jody suggests he needs another experienced driver to help with car development and set up...really!

3. Leclerc may be learning which is not even debatable but he is not crashing into everything that moves like Verstappen and yes I am exaggerating to make a point. It has reached the stage with me that I fancy Leclerc to beat Vettel in every race and yes I am aware that will not actually happen rather its a reflection of how I feel. I always thought Leclerc would finish ahead of Vettel by season end, maybe he will maybe he wont. The only reason he wont is because he has been screwed by his own team so many times.

5. It was a great drive in my opinion. I agree, he is not top 10 of his era he is not even top 20. He is good not great.
