I don't get the impression he is taking things seriously enough, he just has these periods where he switches off. Ferrari should soon sort it out though

Well if he isn't taking things seious enough yet he is jointly leading the championship, you had better hope he stays switched off.

Was thinking earlier he could be like Fifi. Off when he has the car but absolutely on it when things arent going for him.

We saw that in Fifi's early years in F1 and when the Renault wasent at its best... USGP and Monaco 2006 recent examples.

I just think that he's comfortable in his own skin. As Mike was pointing out, he is adopting the long game approach, he knows his car will come good and he is confident of his own ability. In short, there is nothing to fear. He is still, for me, the championship favourite and by some margin.

No announcement necessary. I don't care if i'm wrong my man. In fact nothing more would suit me finer than to see conventional wisdom turned on its head.

I don't think that's an issue here. Steve has proven to be a fan of the sport first, and Ferrari second (though if I'm wrong, I trust he'll correct me). You'll not find any stray irrational bias sitting on his doorstep!

From what I remember Steve said he was not a fan of any current team or driver, just Schumi

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.”"
Chris Cameron-Dow


"One might be tempted to say Ferrari are inconsistent this year. I think the opposite.
They are having one very good race followed by one very poor race. Consistently.

Ha! nice metaphor Mike.

The over powering display of red in my avatar and sig' almost certainly leads one to believe an allegiance to all things Maranello but as Shane correctly pointed out, it's all for Michael. I have no current preference, although there is a deep respect building in certain quarters.
