Oh Dear!!

Guys, just read this from the BBC website. A few excerpts;

Formula 1: Sebastian Vettel rivals 'encouraged booing'

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner says Sebastian Vettel's rivals have encouraged the booing of the four-time world champion.

Vettel, 26, has been heckled by Formula 1 fans at many races this season.
The German's domination and ignoring orders not to pass team-mate Mark Webber at the Malaysian Grand Prix are cited as reasons for the booing.
Horner said: "It is difficult for him to handle. Whilst he's not betrayed it, he's felt it and not understood it."

"The perception comes from what happened at Malaysia and that he stole a win from Mark Webber. He was then portrayed as the bad guy.

"It has been convenient for some of his rivals to treat him like that and they have encouraged it, whether that's Fernando Alonso taking off his cap and throwing it in the crowd as soon as Sebastian talks on the podium to get a reaction.

There are a lot of things wrong with the article, chief among them is Horner not realising that his antics and that of Marko and his cohorts at RedBull are a significant factor. Also, the ease with which he wins races highlights quite a significant pace advantage over everyone that it actually makes the 'sport' no longer a sport.

Then he goes on to blame Alonso for throwing his cap to the audience as that is the grand signal to boo Vettel.

Someone help this poor deluded troll.

I never saw him as anything special, but was a fairly solid No. 2 driver until Silverstone last year. Absolutely bombed since then.
Funny that's when he signed his new contract. Were he a footballer he'd be getting plenty of accusations of being a wage theif.
Just 8 podiums in a time where your team mate has managed 15 wins. That's pretty inexcusable.

On the zdkf1 prediction league I have got Kimi to come 3rd. Do you think I should change it before 10.00 pm?

Oh dear.

I have predicted that Kimi will finish 3rd and Vettel finish 10th.

20 points guaranteed

Try beating that.
