“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

If you swapped Grosjean and NK's circumstances (if you had Romain driving for a backmarker team) you would find people calling for him to be permanently banned and raging that he was dangerous. The clear Cucumber Award winner; especially since he could be so much more.

Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

Michael Schumacher1 HIS WRONG GRID SLOT+ ENGINE SHUT DOWN was at the same level of Lewis out of race at pit entrance (china 2008 or 2009?) and Senna´s crash with black flagged Mansell!

Exactly my thoughts, and I go further to say Maldonado is quite close to it. And then you think of Ide and realise maybe banning him for life was a wee exaggeration.

Yep, Maldonado could be really good. Let's hope both of them sort themselves out next year. Welcome back too!

Did you see Grosjean at ROC? Apparently his problem with Formula One is just the fact there isn't a wall avoiding him to crash into anyone else.

When he learns to drive freely (without feeling under pressure) in F1 he will be good. Has anyone got a link to the RoC I missed it? No doubt someone will put the whole thing on YT soon enough.

Maldonado won a race in 2012, he can't be voted worst driver of the season!
My vote goes to Narain. Circumstances my arse, he drove for Jordan a few years back and he was shockingly bad then too so you can't blame the car - he's just sh*t
