Vettel & Sutil Over-rated or Wet Weather Specialists?
Thoughts?
They've made more of name for themselves for mastering tricky conditions. I get the impression they're the next Jean Alesis and Stefan Bellofs.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

I think they are among the best wet weather drivers.
The key question of this thread might be that how good are they in the dry then?
Hard to say that Sutil is overrated, he has got some criticism this season and to cement a good reputation he needs to show himself well against Fisi in the next weekends. The opinions about Vettel vary a lot, but only future will tell the truth, especially if he gets a drive alongside Webber at Red Bull.

I wouldn't discount them at anytime. Both have the potential to be higher than they really should. Force India's car apeears to be a bit hit and miss, but can have a strong result or two thanks to the closer grids. Same for Vettel.

you don't know just after this race because a lot of the setups were modified in case the track dried.

We simply don't know as yet. Whether we will while they're in their current teams remains to be seen.

Sutil the new Senna (outqualified by team mate 5 times in row + struggled at time with Sakon Yamamoto)
Vettel the new Schumacher (struggles to beat a teammate in qualifying who admits he sucks in qualifying)
Neither is anything special."signature room for rent"

Rain is a great leveller and gives drivers in poorer cars the chance to show their skills. In my opinion, a rain specialist = a very good driver!!!

Don't remember anyone suggesting that he was the next Jacky Ickx.
