I think third is a better starting spot here than second.

Was amazing to see the fastest ever F1 lap time tumble. Would like to see how fast they were doing down the main straight.

Maybe but Vettel clearly wanted pole.

Indeed, but instead he towed Raikkonen around. Oh well.

Kimi can now tow Vettel around.

They alternate each time like every other team. Interesting comments from Vettel over the radio. Clearly not happy Kimi beat him. Let’s hope Ferrari allow them to race tomorrow, although I have a horrible feeling they will let Seb slide on by

Vettel is the WDC contender, so if Ferrari want him to win it that would be the smart play.

Has the stewards made Any decision regarding alonso/magnussen in q2?

Why is that a horrible feeling? Bottas moves over for Hamilton, Kimi moves over for Vettel. Nobody who's watched F1 before can be surprised about that.

Where has Bottas moved over for Hamilton? Not suprised and it’s a team game but Horrible feeling because Kimi deserves a break at some point. Would be great to see him win

Careful, we don't want any Hamilton bashing in this thread - this is the Vettel bashing thread, don't you know?

Makes a change to come onto a forum where Hamilton isn’t considered the Antichrist. I’m all for a bit of Vettel bashing, adds a bit of balance :-p

I did like the slightly petulant ‘we will talk later’ radio message. Threats always sound better with a German accent lol!

[Akrapovic]

Vettel bashing is balance? If you hang out in this forum you'd think he was the anti-Christ. I hear Vettel steals ice cream from children in his local park.

[Adam43]

Kimi is 38 and the local park is Monza.

That day was the day before it was initiated.

This season? Multiple times, most notably in Hockenheim. And he has been used deliberately as a tool to hold up Vettel.

Was there really a tow? Assuming this is the lap in question, it certainly doesn't look to be so.

Tell Kimi He's NOT Jacky Ickx in a Porsche 956, and that Alonso isn't Bellof.
Ayrton Senna da Silva couldn't have said it better.
