I agree with that. Champions are designed now by (Mateschitz/Marko)'s hands. And there is no other that Seb Vettel on this list.

Exactly, Mekola. Champions are DESIGNED, helped out by all the electronics and modifications on an F1 car. Hell, a Formula 1 car could practically drive itself.
I know lots of "true F1 fans" take it as a frustrating lack of insight, but I say that there is no talent in Formula 1 any more. The drivers don't need to be talented... look at the difference between Marussia and Infiniti Red Bull. I guarantee you Vettel would not be any faster than Jules Bianchi (although probably faster than Max Chilton) and would not be taken seriously by any of the major teams. It's all down to car now, more than ever, I think... |

I believe a talent will always standout among others, even with all the tech and aid in cars, but I might be wrong.

I don't think its out of the realms of possibility we'll see Seb win it again this year. The Red Bull isn't the outright clear best car this season when you compare it to previous years but its good enough. Vettel has won 2 out of the 6 races and finished on the podium 4 times too. They are getting consistent points and that is all that matters. Seb has the experience of winning under pressure and the car isn't the dog some are making it out to be. I think we'll see a close battle between Vettel, Alonso and Raikkonen and although I hope either of the latter two get it, I think we'll see a very strong challenge from Seb and Red Bull.

I've been a supporter of Lewis Hamilton for years now and if he ends his career with just one more title, I will be more than happy with that. I watch F1 for enjoyment and for me Lewis is the most exciting driver to watch. He's the driver from this era that excites me the most and he'll be the one I tell my kids about when they are getting into the sport. We all have different views on what happens but its never safe to assume others are jealous because you've chosen to support a driver who happens to be successful right now. |

In answer to your questionm: Aerodynamical grip is the reason why DRS and KERS (plus tyres made out of chewing gum) have been introduced. Not due to lack of driver talent. I assume you did not watch the sport in the early 2000's, when there was no overtaking apart from during the pitstops. |

No one's losing any sleep over Vettel doing well. Although I suspect we keep coming back to this thread because its like watching a car crash. |

And whatever we might say to the contrary, deep down we all love a good car crash.

But it's been cleared up now. Fortunately no-one got hurt.
Nothing left to see, move along people. THE END

Now you mention it, this thread is making my head hurt very nearly as much as it would if I had slid at 100mph sideways into a tyrewall and incurred a force of 5.7g.
