The man we love to see lose

Vettel lambasted Alonzo mid-race today for not letting him through as easily as he'd have liked – for someone with a record like Vettel's, that's the classic case of pot calling the kettle black. It's a level of arrogance that's par for the proverbial course from him. But even Sebastian outdid himself after he crossed the finish line. Needlessly overtaking on a left-hander, Vettel veered into Stroll, who was merely holding his line, and ripped his own back wheel off. 'Stroll is not looking where he's going! He totally shunted into the back of my car!' It was clearly Vettel's fault and another reason why his arrogance makes him a man we love to see lose.

Ah come on, every driver including Alonso would have complained. Vettel is fighting for a WDC. Do you really expect him to say 'Thanks Fernando'. Let's get real folks.

Fair enough for being unhappy with Alonso but his description of the post-race incident summed him up. Nothing's ever his fault.

Vettel shames the Ferrari name.

The man has no sporting integrity. He has crashed with other drivers numerous times, especially with Webber, yet never accepts responsibility.
He purports to be a leading driver yet insists in all his contracts that his teammate is the no 2 driver and not allowed to beat him without his permission.
The fact he has one, yet alone 4 world titles is an embarrassment to the sport of F1. And everyone knows it.
He got schooled by Riccardo who was the one teammate that was allowed to properly race him.
He is Schumacher with all the bad bits but none of the talent.

Oh My God! I never knew all of the above.
Thanks for the heads up. I must have been deluded.

Thanks again.

Sweet Jesus, get me out of here....

You're welcome irishgreen.
He pulls the wool over most casual observers.
He will ultimately go down as a one team wonder. Driving for Redbull when they had the quickest car by far with not even his teammate to beat.
I never liked Schumacher;s tactics and lack of sportsmanship and Vettel shares those same traits.
Arrogance over talent is Vettel's trademark.

PS There are plenty of great German F1 drivers now. SV is not one of them imho.

Ferrari do a great job of that themselves. The treatment of Kimi this season has been abysmal

I get why he's upset with Alonso but the after race incident is bizarre. Blaming Stroll for something that was entirely his own doing
