Vettel winning... again

Post by twiss » Tue Oct 29, 2013 3:31 pm

So Im starting to get fed up of Vettel repeatedly winning the F1 championship!

I'm serious hoping the changes to the cars next year spice things up a bit and that Red Bull will fall off the bandwagon slightly where engine development is concerned!

Anyone read into the changes they are making next year? Smaller engines with massive turbos... and an improved KERS (now ERS-K) system giving an extra 160hp on the button!

Its like having my 16v engine and half again as a bit of extra power haha

Yep I agree I get bored with Red bull wining it all the bloody time, I did find it bloody funny that he got fined 25,000 euros for doing doughnuts across the finish line at the end of the race! :hahaha:

Pocket change though really isn't it! Considering he gets paid €13m a year!
I really hope Mercedes actually make a decent car this year rather than bodging up an old one!

Thinking about the engines... I reckon a 1.6 v6 with a turbo might fit in an SJ ;)
Cheap (ish) tax as well haha

Well as I say hopefully red bull won't be so prominent next year... losing Webber to Le Mans may help with that too!
Speaking of which I really want to see how well he does...

Vettel and. RB can. Ly beat who they are out up against. It is up to the rest to fight back. As Newey said, they were helped greatly by the change of tyres.

Well deserved win, and 4 times is no fluke. The interesting thing is where will Brawn go, if anywhere?

I did get fed up with Webber the whiner. Jeez, give it a rest.

I just think they should have a maximum amount of times you are allowed to win the championship!
Otherwise it will end up like Schumacher again.... it's not like Vettel needs any more money...
