[Eff One 2002]

He throws his biscuit in the dirt like a spoilt child, whining over the radio to his team about Raikkonen, He simply cannot accept not winning and bitches and moans when other drivers get aggressive with him, often over the very types of manouvres that he himself employs when defending his position. The way the team said "we'll talk to Charlie" when they would have known as well as anyone else that Raikkonen did nothing wrong, pandering to his little tantrum was pathetic as well.

[Asterion]

Don't care for the guy, but in the heat of the moment, that was not so bad ultimately. Every driver whines...

Hahahahah

[Skinnyguy]

He´s already admitted it was just the heat of the moment. Give him a rest, we all know he gets silly sometimes inside the helmet but he doesn´t speak rubbish once he´s cooled down.

[Realyn]

You got it. No other driver is saying the same thing over his radio. Not one.

[Lights]

Huge improvement over his radio call here 3 years ago.

[motorhead]

Who is a hypocrote here? He just said that in a heat of the moment like he said on podium

[HammyHamiltonFan]

I don't think that's fair, he was frustrated cause he was stuck behind, when he see's the replay though he will see Kimi did nothing wrong.

people blaming Button are morons though, Jenson had every right to defend his position...and it was Vettel's mistake that led to contact not other way around...

[Melchiot]

The guy doesnt even win the race and ppl. still complain about him.

[Dalton007]

So what if he whines? It's a heat-of-the-moment thing. Don't you whine? You have no right to judge them based on these things.

[NateF]

Jeez, just heat of the moment stuff.

This. And after Seb admitted so on the podium, Kimi smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder - so no offense taken at all.

[Nonesuch]

It's okay. It was "In The Heat Of The Moment"™.

[g1n]

would have been funnier if he said in dead pan voice "he is too slow...get him out of the way.".

[P123]

I don't think there's any point in over-analysing calls over the radio that are made in the heat of the race.

[Kelateboy]

Much ado about nothing!

And what makes you think that?

No criticism of Vettel allowed.

Really? "You always have to leave a gap!" - Alonso in Bahrain 2012

Alonso then doesn't leave a gap - Suzuka 2012

Chill and eat a Snickers. Normal situation during race.

That's the result of 3 (4) consecutive WDCs.

[starp]

Which is being more of a sore loser, being flustered for a moment in an F1 race, or going through life hating someone because he is successful?

[toroRosso]

it's fine because he's not that popular to begin with, maybe you can hold this against him, I did for a few moments. He never did apply to be a saint, maybe he did but nobody would grant him the title no matter how hard he tried so why waste his time

[mlsnoopy]

Why do we need threads like these?

No criticism of Vettel allowed.

I thought that there is substantive difference between constructive criticism and mindless defamation of ones character.

Now you mention it, Vettel showed how the start squeeze is done into T1 today. He gave himself an excellent entry line but always leaving at least a car´s width for the guy alongside.

[Baddoer]

Whiners are pathetic. They just are.

[Blackmore]

Why does an admin leave a childish thread like this open for this long? I thought I was on PlanetF1 forum for a second.

[grunge]

Give the guy a break..Purely ''in the moment'' thing...

He was honest enough to admit his mistake on the podium in front of everyone.

[Vesuvius]

He said it was only because of the heat of them moment and said everything is ok now

[caso]

Much ado about nothing!

Good question, with an ad-hominem attack in the thread title, to boot. Oh well. Some good answers at least

[Xeriks]

Compared to his whining on the radio at this race 1 year ago, it's a massive improvement, but I think it's difficult to complain about only Vettel doing it, every driver on the grid whines about something when it doesn't go their way.

[garoidb]

I thought that there is substantive difference between constructive criticism and mindless defamation of ones character.

There is nothing mindless about calling out a driver who lobbied for an unwarranted penalty for another competitor during a race. His later retraction of the comments, when no benefit could accrue to him anyway, does not change the nature of his ploy during the race.

Mind you, Red Bull should also have told him where things stood.

[MightyMoose]

Why do we leave a thread like this open?

Because there was not 1 complaint/report about it.

Pathetic finger-pointing by those of you who can't be bothered to follow our rules.

Thanks for the support though, we appreciate you understand our roles here.

Thread closed simply because its nothing more than a bash-fest.
