    Lol....yeah maybe this Vetal is a much better driver and makes less mistakes then Vettel, so yeah, we need to sing him ASAP

    But my money is on LeClerc this year, hands down he will beat Vettel in points and may even be WDC by end of year...if ferrari gets on top of the reliability gremlins and will keep up the development of car throughout the season to beat the Mercs developments
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    I like Charles and I know he will be a great pretty soon but all this talk about Vettel being done for and Leclerc being better might trigger an internal war at Ferrari. Vettel has experience and that is not to be discounted no matter if one likes him or not. He will have GP's where he will be faster or in front of Leclerc and eventually make it difficult for Charles. We have already seen how Vettel is better off the line in 2 GP's, if next time it will be a hit or miss between the two I'm not sure Vettel will think twice of touching his team mate's car if their is an aggressive show of power between the 2.

    P.S. we are yet to see Charles on a wet track. Vettel won his first GP on a wet track but we have never seen that level of driving on similar track conditions in a Ferrari from him (in fact he binned it last year at the German GP)

    Reads like title for Hamilton.

    Yes, that's what I fear. Last thing we need is an internal rivalry. I'd much rather see Leclerc break Lewis and Bottas morale than being busy out racing his own team mate.

    It's too soon anyways, 2 of 21 is a long way to go.

    Ferrari has a really great car, now all Tifosi care about is ONE of their drivers to get the WDC and both to contribute for the WCC.

    I couldn’t agree more. So long as both drivers contribute with points to bring home the WCC....I don’t really care which of our drivers wins the WDC.....for me, Ferrari comes first and foremost....drivers come and go, but the Ferrari legacy will be in our HEARTS FOREVER!!!!

    Leclerc was better off the line in Australia. Vettel was better off the line in Bahrain.

    Agree. Vettel has been aggressive when fighting on track with Kimi in the past which led to several collisions. I'm sure it will be the same with Leclerc, particularly at the starts. Obviously, this is not what Ferrari want.

    P.S. we are yet to see Charles on a wet track. Vettel won his first GP on a wet track but we have never seen that level of driving on similar track conditions in a Ferrari from him (in fact he binned it last year at the German GP)
    Both were horrible in the wet last year.

    Charles needs to be way up there to break Merc morale, he can't let Seb get in the way to get it done.

    Both need to be up there not just Charles and both need to stay clear of each other. Ferrari = 2 cars on the track not just 1. If we have gp's where one is quicker than the other then they have to make way for each other and not obstruct. I fully agreed to Charles overtaking a slower Vettel in Bahrain. It is just too early to count Vettel out, afterall he finished second in the championship last year mistakes or no mistakes. Charles is yet to prove his worth in Ferrari over a full season and hence why I understand when Ferrari back Vettel a bit more for now but if Charles keeps out performing Vettel then they should and must switch the roles. It's just 2 of 21 though so far so I guess we have to wait and see.

    Deep down I wish Vettel wins it this year to shut Hamilton's mouth up (they will have same number of WDC each) but thereafter I surely hope for a total Ferrari domination with Leclerc (yes, he is Ferrari's future)

    Vettel finished 2nd, and was 81 points behind Hamilton. Given the level of the cars last year, that was not a good performance from Vettel.

    Charles is yet to prove his worth in Ferrari over a full season and hence why I understand when Ferrari back Vettel a bit more for now but if Charles keeps out performing Vettel then they should and must switch the roles. It's just 2 of 21 though so far so I guess we have to wait and see.
    Charles hasn't had the opportunity to prove himself over a full season with Ferrari.

    I agree with the last part - let them race. There is no need to try and hold Charles back like they did in the first 2 races.

    Leclerc's performance can't be any worse than Vettel's last two implosions. I've defended him here over the past couple of seasons, but the last race really demonstrated that he hasn't learned from his mistakes.

    I agree. Vettel and Massa are really not comparable. But if you are so heated up about a joke like this, you should not venture into other forums, Vettel has been called many nicknames over the past 2 years starting from "mission spinnow" to "Spinster". As long as he makes these silly mistakes, he will be scrutinized and a subject of mockery.

    I can have my own opinion, and I really dont like the all hate here, like I already said. I am sometimes wondering if I am on autosport forum. Its just not good, we have to support our drivers in good or bad days, it doesnt matter. In difficult times we have to stand by him, and support him no matter the cost. Otherwise why I am even here. Its just as easy.

    Mate, just because you are a Vettel fan and I recall you did make one post where you said, you are here because of Vettel only, why do you expect 1000 other members to be Vettel fanboys? Some & probably most are Ferrari fanboys and are supporting Vettel just because he is driving for red. If you don't like criticism for his day light mistakes, then maybe you're right, this is a wrong forum for you.

    You say you can have your own opinion but in same breath you have issues with other's opinion. Bizarre

    Honey, this was my first post over long, long time, how can you say i have only been moaning? and based on what you say i haven't achieved anything? unlike Vettel who's recent non achievements have been recorded quite publicly. and yes i have to admit, the comparison between Massa and Vettel is wrong - Massa spun on wet track, Vettel does it when it's bone dry and all by himself

    I never expected this, all I was expected was some humility and some respect for a great driver, with his mistakes or not. But I see now I cant expect this in general here, maybe by some members. Its a big shame. I did mean no harm, at least we have all in common that we support Ferrari as a team, well bring on China then. But dont know what to expect really from this race, I ve lost some confidence, that we can deliver as a team, even if we have the fastest car, but hope we can still deliver. A Seb win would be a big confidence boost for him in general, but I see Charles winning it.

    Forza Ferrari, Seb, Charles.

    Knock off the sanctimoniousness. You're expecting us to applaud him based on what he accomplished with another team six years ago and with two seasons of sub-mediocrity with Ferrari. I've defended him repeatedly, but the Bahrain spin showed NOTHING has changed from last season.

    You stated yourself that you're a Vettel fan, and I would bet money that you're gone from this forum when he is from the team.

    He's a four time world champion who deserves respect, and you're not being supportive enough!!! Vettel is to tires what Anakin Skywalker is to the younglings.
