So many Verstappen comparisons that it does seem like a Red bull/Marko production line. Was arrogant, aggressive, petulant when things went wrong, difficult teammate.I fully admit, I never thought I'd get to like Vettel as much as I've grown to like him. I absolutely couldn't stand him at Red Bull (a mix of his youthful arrogance, but probably more so how the Red Bull/Helmut Marko PR machine built him) but I really have. He's been a credit to the sport, and can retire knowing he's achieved more than most ever will out of it.
If the FIA or F1 had any sense about them they'd get him straight in to direct the sport in the right way.Where for him?
A career in politics or an international ambassador for various causes?
Should make him race director or whatever they call it. I can't believe they don't use ex drivers unless they previously have and it didn't work.If the FIA or F1 had any sense about them they'd get him straight in to direct the sport in the right way.
They use them for the stewards and it's a bit erratic.Should make him race director or whatever they call it. I can't believe they don't use ex drivers unless they previously have and it didn't work.
I thought that might be a problem. They have used them in motogp & I think they still do and can't remember there being lots of problems although Freddie Spencer did upset a few with his very strict rulings. I'm not sure how someone who hasn't raced at a high standard can make judgements on racing incidents.They use them for the stewards and it's a bit erratic.
Don't think you could use him as there'd be accusations of favouratism dependent on what punishments to which driver. Imagine Mick Schumacher going away scott free while Hamilton got a 10 place penalty. Even if justified, it'd lead to all kinds of cat calling (even if it would be fun to watch!).
GEORGEEEE
Not quite sure what drugs they're all taking, but not performance enhacing ones...!Ferrari finding ever more creative ways to lose a championship.
Surely anyone would choose alonso over ocon though? Maybe if it is that they forced him out it’s because they feel they can get more good years out of oconAh, it's not April 1st then, but is actually true.
Isn't it more Alpine want Piastri in there, so Alonso might not have had a choice to stay there?

Saw Vettel at Silverstone on the Saturday last year sorting out the recycling rubbish for his team. That's how much he's changed. Hated him in the past but feel the same about him as you do now.I think it's been on his mind all season, honestly. At least since Melbourne. He's got no interest pottering around at the back of the grid in sub-par machinery.

It's been an odd spell for him. Did well at Red Bull (threatened to eclipse Vettell, could hold his own against Verstappen half the time, if only he could do it consistently...), did alright at Renault after a slow start... did get that win for McLaren! But has been poor really.Ricciardo gone from McLaren then, who've basically said they binned him off a year early because he's been shit. Will always be remembered for that win in Monza. Be interesting to see where he goes now, a few teams on the grid without confirmed line-ups for next season.
Kiss and make up with Alpine? Haas have been in touch but can't see him going there. Tsunoda's contract is up at the end of this year too I think so could possibly go back to Alpha Tauri.
He says he'sstaying in F1. I don't have any reason to doubt him as of yet tbh.Indycar/ Nascar beckons i feel
