Yes there is rivalry but it doesn't have to be so exaggerated as the BBC have put it. It seems like Vettel and Leclerc genuinely get on but this article makes it sound like totally opposite and yesterday's events will lead to a rift, even though it just seemed like a miscalculation from the team itself i.e. out of the drivers' hands at the time it happens. Only at the very end, and in a small way, of the Vettel part of the article do they say how Leclerc actually calmed down and accepted what happened. As if that only became relevant to provide a bit of balance to the article. Already looking forward to the "bad guy Seb vs. good guy Charles" narrative in the next Drive to Survive season on Netflix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 He did drive a great race yesterday, and while Charles may be slighted, it appeared that Ferrari tried something with the pitting, and with Mercedes response, it just turned out good for Vettel. I can't imagine that it was with the intention of have Sebs win, but instead hoping for a Ferrari 1/2, which is exactly what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Leclerc doing zig zags or what? Pretty stupid from him as well. And as he mentioned in the thread, he did the same against the McLaren even harder, but the McLaren reacted accordingly, Charles didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it really comes across as both drivers trying to assert mental dominance over each other. Neither yielded so that's on both of them and both are being stupid. You do not race your teammate like that. Either way next season could be very juicy between them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but the criticism is very one-sided towards Seb, from many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted November 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted November 21, 2019 I still think Seb had the racing line so had no reason to move further to the left. As for the Leclerc/Norris incident earlier on, it was lap one and Leclerc at least had the excuse of trying to get off the kerb and back onto the track. Sometimes getting right over onto the kerb/grass overlap can spit you back onto the track harder than you'd expect. It did look a bit naughty though.

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just read a comment on reddit about Sebastian: [–]trex_racecar Sebastian Vettel 268 points 4 days ago* I used to not be a Vettel fan. When he was younger and drove for Red Bull something about him rubbed me wrong. As he got older and more mature he started to grow on me. I live in Austin next to a boutique hotel and last year the week before the US GP I see a GT4CLusso pull up and three guys in Ferrari team overalls climb out. The next day that same car pulls up and Vettel and one of his friends gets out. Now I’ve never asked anyone for an autograph before but I’ve been a Tifosi since the beginning and the man is a legend. I called out to him and asked to say hello and to take a photo. He obliges and stops and chats for a few minutes being completely genuine introducing himself as if I didn’t know who he was. He asks me if I’m going to the race on Sunday and I tell him that I couldn’t get tickets that year but I’m looking forward to watching him have a good race. Throughout the week I see him and his friend and always wave but left it at that. I already felt bad enough disturbing him as I know how private he is. I come home a few days later and there’s a bag tied to my doorknob. I open it and there’s a signed hat with a note hand written on Ferrari letterhead with two tickets inside addressed to me by name. A four time world champion meets me once in passing and notes that I didn’t have tickets, remembers my name, goes out of his way to find me some and hand writes the note. He’s a class act and I’ll never forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
