I am not sure anymore what I saw in his driving three years ago which cought my attention, but I was thus far lucky. He is really polishing his craft to perfection; it's pleasure to watch it.
He slid of the tarmack in FP2, and I am hoping he will remember it in a wet race, so we don't get another Maly.

I think he was taken by surprise when Alonso slowed in front of him.He slid of the tarmack in FP2, and I am hoping he will remember it in a wet race, so we don't get another Maly.

He won his first ever GP in the wet, I imagine he knows what he's about - he just has to keep focused. But that goes for every driver on the track, so it is not a special burden for him.
It appears that it is given his track record of choking when the pressure is on.

Meanwhile, Christian Horner backs up Sebastian's response to Ron:
"I guess the problem with age is that your hearing tends to fail you a little bit and perhaps Ron didn't hear the misfire that was there and probably didn't see the fact that the other car also finished the race without any issues at all," he said. "It wasn't anything to do with the size of the fuel tank. As I say it was a spark plug issue and that was it."
He added that balancing power against fuel consumption was a difficult task, but insisted it was not one his team had concerns over..."

Suzuka 2009 when he had to win to keep mathematical chance alive for WDC crown is a unique example that under certain conditions he is very resilient to external pressures. That was not just my observation, but quite broad consensus among fans and men on the inside as well.It appears that it is given his track record of choking when the pressure is on.

I also noticed. What struck me about last season was that as the season progressed, he got better under pressure. He is definitely more resilient now than he was 12 months ago.

To start with he's only 22. He has won 5 times already including 1 win with a Toro Rosso (!) and was runner upp last year. He is really special and I hope he can fight it out this season without too much reliability issues. Can be a great show.
Among the records he has is the youngest to score pole position and youngest grand prix winner by nearly a year.

I was amazed yesterday in the thread about Vettel vs Ron where a lot of people wrote he shouldn't say anything because didn't have any achievments.

Youngest WDC runner up. He's only got one to get now. Youngest WDC.

Don't write him off yet, he's one of the best at whipping a lap out when it counts.
He kept finding traffic too and looked very agitated in the cockpit. The laptime is there.

I remember few years ago, I had debates with you when you were putting statements that Vettel is a star talent. The other one we debated about was Rosberg.
Already last year was enough to see that Vettel has all what is needed to be the star driver. This year so far prooves that. Also Rosberg shows that he can take all what car offers in difficult position of being teammate to living F1 legend.
Basic civil courage requires that I admit you were right and I was wrong. For sure on Vettel. Very most likely on Rosberg too (but it's not Nico's thread :-) )
Credit to you. You foreseen great things from Vettel when many people were laughing at him early in 2008.

Yes I remember, Gemini. I do not know of course if you are a star in your own life, but I think behind this screen name you could be actually a great person. Your posts were always acceptable to read, even if we not always agreed on everything, and that's how I prefer it.Dear MiPe,

I like SV but he really needs a new celebration when he wins or gets poles(which he's gonna get plenty of this year).The Number 1 finger thing and contorted face makes him look silly IMO.
Who says he is really celebrating? He just does not want to stick the middle finger out ;)

He did again that Q-Seb thing - being fastest when it mattered.

I don't think he is generally is a popular driver like Hamilton, Schumacher, Alonso, who just happen to wear the pride of the win in the celebrations, and I think the one finger thing is just him trying to be something more then he actualy is for people, he's not that personality. not everyone is as comfortable in the limelight, he's not that's destinctive enough, more of a college boy with lots of books to read who won student of the month award celebration and is smug about it, that's not his fault, not everyone is made to be the star the sport needs. I think if Mark Webber had Vettel's results, you would have a bigger star, as Webber is like a western hero John Wayne f1 type driver, reasonable ideals, trying to save Australia through his laptimes etc.

It was great to watch wasn't it?He did a fab job today. That quali lap was an absolute stonking lap.
More entertainment in that one lap than in the whole Bahrain Grand prix!

Seb is creeping up on Alonso with the British bookies.
And to think, I got him at 6/1

Seb = Kimi pre-Ferrari

Everyone blames the car but why is Webber not having faults with his car? Kimi...oops Vettel is a car breaker. Newy has his work cut out.
