    If I had to rank the drivers Vettel would not be top but third.

    He divides opinion, some remain to be convinced and it has been remarked that he has never replicated his first win.

    The has been some magnificent drives: Belgium and Brazil I rate far, far greater than Abu Dhabi (BBC awarded it as drive of the year) but there has never been another great win which is probably makes me irksome and petty.

    Congrats to Sebastian, but I'm so sorry that the best driver in the whole season hasn't been champion

    That penalty was stupid! Alonso did the same thing to Vettel, but that was just a racing incident. I never lost faith in Vettel. I knew he would fight for the WDC.

    Glad you at least had to sweat for it a little at the last race though
    Sweat? Dude, I was slamming my fists on the table.

    Congrats to Seb thogh he is just about a worthy champ and another title fight where at least one driver was better with least errors. His greatness will contineue to be questioned.
    Firstly, stop being so cold toward other forum members. They have a right to post here whether you like them or not. Secondly, question Vettel all you want. He's won the championship 3x in a row and 2 of those championships were come from behind wins.

    Don't be so bitter Steve. Red/Yellow light and it wasn't blinking. A yellow light would blink repeatedly and so would the lights on the driver's steering wheel.

    That's an oxymoron.

    When one complains about hypocrisy and integrity yet fails to uphold those values, how should one react?

    I've complimentented Seb. I have only questioned how great a drive he is. Some would say Prost was bettwr than Senna and vice versa so I don't see why similar can not be said of Seb?

    Titles aren't necessarily the be all and end all. For instance can Moss' lack of WDC tell you how inferior to Fangio yet Moss is often tegarded as a great driver.

    That one was orange (Red/Yellow)... even Marca said so

    However, today Marca also say he took Vergne under (blinking) yellows

    I was going to say sour grapes, but that is one hell of a valid argument. I still think Vettel made the pass just as he hit that green flashing light.
