At least he is learning some colorful English phrases.

By the way, if you guys remember F1-Live.com from last year, it was taken over by ESPNF1 and is actually not bad at all. Give it a shot.

 

They shouldn't be throwing races away like they have! Stating the obvious I know lol

 

Vettel has been on pace to win the last two races. Not sure why his team is having so many problems building him a reliable car but at least we know the pace is there... for now.

 

Lets hope he has a car that can go the distance next week. He appears to have the pace on his competitors.

 

"We'll show them!!!" . . . "It breaks my balls" . . . . I'm really liking Vettel's confidence surge so far this year.

 

He has every right to vent, I'm sure he was quick to recover and he'll back to his positive charming self in Malaysia. Hopefully with a win!

 

It is a stretch to say it is the teams fault either. A failed spark plug and a rotor that shat itself arn't really things you can plan for.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say Vettel had the pace to win in Australia. He avoided that early wreck and didn't have anyone in front of him the entire race (before he crashed). I know he continued to build on his lead every lap, but I'm not convinced Button/Kubica wouldn't have caught him towards the end. Button was really lighting it up when he had the lead.

Edit: But to stay on topic, I agree he has every right to complain. Whether or not he knew about the brake failure, it's his team's responsibility to put out a reliable car.

 

It's tough as I'm a huge fan of Vettel, but he still has a shot at the title. He WILL win multiple races this year.

 

Yea, he's still got a shot but a few other drivers looked really good this weekend (maybe obvious since these were the top 5-6 finishers): Hamilton, Webber, Kubica (although he probably won't keep it up), and the Ferraris + Button didn't look too bad either.
