No big surprise to me if MW outscores Fettel.
In fact I'd be willing to bet on it

Not entirely sure that you know much about Formula one based on your last comment. There is no Fettel in formula and even without checking I am confident there never has been.

Drivers for the most part have no control over how the media decide to 'hype or ignore' them. I would say that most if not all commentators who actually know and follow the sport rate Vettel highly and Webber also for that matter.

As for drivers believing their own media clippings, again if you where referring to Vettel (as your comment was not clear on that) well I would say he is more grounded than most and has always praised his team for all his success, unlike many others.

I am sure he is merely spelling it the way Vettel is pronounced in German, as "Fettel". I'm sure Taz didn't mean any disrespect.

P.S.: Maybe he did. :p

I was making sport of SV's name as those in the chat notice every race.
I think they view it in the light hearted sense that I use it.
In fact, I,ve gotten other "brethren of ye old chat" using it their too :eek:
Did we get our feelings hurt?
Why don't you loosen your tie, and unstuff your shirt.
Oh yea', and make a bet with me while your at it! :laugh:

I think Vettel has Mark in outright pace.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I don't see Mark winning a race on outright pace if Button or Vettel are still in the race.

Thank you for the concern but I am in jeans and tee shirt so am quite relaxed...

I am sorry that not being part of your 'chat' (whatever tham may be) I was unfamiliar with your use of Fettel ... Many thanks for explaining your self I shall be better able to assess your meaning in future...

As I an not Sebastien Vettel I personally did not have my feeling hurt so please do not concern yourself fruther on that score.

Umm... an internet wager... OK you're on...

Based on the fact at present they are almost equal in the points standing, I'll wager Vettel will continue to outscore Webber over the remainder of the season and I take it you'll wager the reverse

He has the canny ability to disappoint.

He was useless and played the spoilt brat in Turkey. If it was Hamilton he would've gone for broke and tried at every oppurtunity but Vettel gave up after a few laps and fell back a bit.

Not quite Alonso vetting his fury at the McLaren pit wall in 2007 US GP, but Vettel attempting to set fastest lap after dropping back to Webber and told to turn down the engine is a sign things aren't too rosy inside RBR which culminated after the race when he threw out his handbags by criticising the 3 stopper.

I won't be surprised if he's asking for team orders by now.

Mark is utilitarian, showing that with a decent car he's got the goods.

In fact I'd be willing to bet on it! :s mokin:

I think that Seb is faster that Mark, but Mark doesn't make so many mistakes. I'd like to see Mark outscoring Vettel.

Got a problem with drivers having a personality?! Looks like that to me.
