Recent hot topic is obviously Vettel's championship campaign falling apart. Seemingly the opportunity to take Ferrari's first championship in 11 years and his first championship with Ferrari is getting to him at the moment. Maybe it will all turn around in the last 7 races, but at the moment it looks like that.
But the topic isn't just about Vettel. It's a much more general one to discuss pressures drivers face in F1.
Which drivers do you think in history couldn't handle pressure? And in which seasons specifically? Why was that? What happened?
It is said that whenever you are in F1, you are always under pressure. Because for starters you have to beat your team-mate and convince your worth in the series. However, which situations offer greater pressure than others? I think all F1 drivers can handle at least some pressure to an extent, otherwise they wouldn't be there. But when could it get too much for them?
In which situations do you detect that drop in driver's performance is directly caused by pressure, and not some other factors?
What are your answers/thoughts to these questions?
