Re Grosjean, yes he's a bit like Sato isn't he?
He had that 1 good year with Lotus alongside Kimi where for the 2nd half of the season he was faster and it was that half-season that I think helped him remain F1. But who hasn't been faster than Kimi since then? Vettel and Alonso have left him sleeping. Since then what has Grosjean really done? He's only had 2 top 5's since and only Maldonado and Gutierrez as team mates until Kevin. They're hardly good comparions, both their F1 careers were longer than they should have been. I can't believe Grosjean has 0 points this year.Only Sergey is behind him in the standings, and that Haas is the 4th best car. TR would have fired him. |

Vettel was on a war path all weekend with his comments on Pirelli reducing the tire tread depth to suit the Mercedes and Red Bull cars. Almost every interview he did during the weekend he mentioned the Pirelli change was because Mercedes and Red Bull requested the change. He requested for a back to back test of the two different tires during the in-season test currently underway in Spain to confirm he's belief.
After testing both tires back to back yesterday, he had this to say... Quote:

Well, I give him plenty of credit for some commendable honesty.

Indeed. Maximum credibility points for that.

Not sure what's so funny about it. Seems pretty honest and open about the issues.

That’s because he knows there’s no use complaining when it could have been worse

Good stuff there from Vettel. In the competitive environment over the weekend he felt wronged. He got the chance to test that theory and said otherwise.
He is a man who can reassess a situation and change his mind. That is a credit to him and judging by the internet is a rare character trait. |

Yes very classy from Vettel. Unsure at first, then realises it was the right decision. He has logic in what he says. A rare thing compared to others
