He should have won Canada. He was in front of RIC all race until the team utterly botched his second stop. They even publicly apologized to him. So it's not that he's forgotten how to drive. He had almost all mechanicals this year. He's just having a horrible year and for whatever reason the team seems to shaft him for some reason. Out of six testing days this season, RIC got three and Vettel got two and that after he already had a deficit after winter testing, not to count the frequent car failures during the season. The mileage advantage of RIC must measure in the thousands by now.
