I suspect the booing has little to do with Malaysia.

 

More about fans of other drivers being ******** that their idols are getting beaten year after year.

 

 

The problem is Vettel beating their idols and destroying their records........

I think that is the top and tail of Mark Webber's career in a nutshell. Sorry to be pedantic, but there is no real evidence Lewis lied in 2009, I personally think he was mislead by his team, and at that point sheltered and impressionable enough to believe them. But I have no evidence of that to be honest.

 

I think some Vettel fans are taking this a bit too seriously does it really matter if he has someone slagging (or lying about him if you like) on a forum. All drivers get it really. Vettel fans have a lot to cheer about. 2013 has been a astounding year for Vettel, despite the boo's he has impressed me more this year than the previous 3 years combined, a pillow of consistency and he also proved in Germany that he can win when he does not have the fastest car. Pure merit.

 

Vettel and Webber have never been like Massa/Alonso, and it works both ways. If Vettel ever needed Webber's help it was Brazil 2012, and he did not assist. In contrast, the team could have played it safe in the later races of 2010, and favored Webber to world title glory, instead they let them fight (on what I presume was equal terms) and Vettel pulled it of.

 

 

I don't think it's a big deal with whatever Hamilton did. He may have been misled by the team, but he's not a child and he knew what was going on. It was his decision to agree with whatever happened and he apologised for it. 

 

In my opinion, the only thing that matters is that he's a world champion and a bloody heck of a racing driver. He's c0cked up now and then, but everyone does that at their job. It's life. He's human and he will make mistakes. The issue for me really isn't how which driver has messed up. It was to do with the way 'Dozer' was harping on about 'integrity' and how big a 'cheat' Vettel is. They all make mistakes. No one is an exception. Anyway, his mature response was enough to not bother about another thing he says. He's said enough about himself with his intelligent replies.

unless f1 fans are a different breed from all other sports fans i cant believe   seb doesnt just get booed for being succesful.

 cant think of any sportsmen in other sports who gets booed just for winning  

 must be more to it than that .i might be wrong but  he never got booed before malaysia ,

personaly i dont dislike him  and would never boo any sportsmen ,

but i can understand why others do ,if they sympathise with webber .

 

The answer to the first one:
Stephen Hendry when he won (London) Masters year after year!
 

The answer to the second:

Vettel was already booed in Australia 2013 (the race before Malaysia) and i think he was also booed before that.
Indeed F1 fans aren't any different than the fans of other sports, so Some of the supporters of the losing sport persons/teams will boo their oposition/their N1 enemy no matter what.
