Improving... can you be clear on this ?
Monaco colliding with bottas is improving ?
Last race pushing other driver of the track is improving ?
Gasly is not performing as expected, if someone with much more potential who challenge max then the real test begins.
Max too makes lot of mistakes, yeah I agree with you he’s matured a bit but still that mistakes are happening.
Ofcourse he’s fast, but even lando norris is fast.
If u r removing a driver Becoz of mistakes after mistakes then you shouldn’t consider the driver who has the same profile ?
The best sign of driver improvement is winning a race! You can't do any better for your team and fans ! The worst would be going all season without a single win, as a #1 driver for IMO the best of all teams. Ferrari needs to go with "A Winner!"
Great post! As far as retirement goes, one more $50, Million year in the bank and his already 4 WDCs, he can retire happily for ever after. He for sure did great for himself and his future family!!! Using the term retirement for folks under 40 yrs. old is still hard to comprehend! But... driving in F-1 is that tough physically for sure. The drivers deserve the relaxation and recognition they get for the rest of their life. they earned it !
He gets faster making less errors.
Last race he won with a fair move, don't like it don't watch racing.
He beat ricciardo in the same car, one of the highest rated drivers.
Vettel is slower than verstappen and makes more mistakes, I like his personality more but after 12 years since our last title idc about if vettel is nice, he will never be ferrari wdc

The drivers haven't won the championship since 2013. Now it's just Pirelli and Mercedes that decide the championship. Back in Michaels day he made the difference for us. Back in the Red Bull era it was Seb who made the difference. Vettel was the master of the blown diffusor. In 20 years time that's what he will be known for. Hamilton Alonso Button Webber, none of them could adapt to the blown diffusor like Vettel.
If this is goodbye to Seb it has been a pleasure. The fastest driver I have ever seen.
Oh man... please not Ricciardo, Then all those bogan Aussie fair weather fans would support Ferrari just because he is there, the team does not need them.
Ricciardo chose to drive for Aus, instead of his heritage he can P off.
I would rather someone good from the academy.
.
Although I like him, Ricciardo has done a lot of mistakes this year already. He has shown his speed and is now faster than Hulk but those silly mistakes is costing Renault some valuable points and he doesn't learn from them. I would like to see Max in the Ferrari if Seb retires at end of the season, he looks like he has matured a lot in the last year. Back to Seb, if he returns to before Italy last year form, then I would to see him stay, but if he continues like this(Kimi beating him in the 2nd half of last year and Charles giving him a tough time this year) I would rather have Max. Ricciardo needs to get his stuff together at Renault first.
Yeah that’s right. But it reached to point where he should be replaced even before vettel retires at ferrari.
Few may think I’m die hard vettel fan. but I’m not.
I’m a ferrari fan, first defend the team & their drivers. I’m one of them who called Lec a great talent n need to be in ferrari. That’s how it goes.
I agree that he made mistakes, at the same time ferrari team too made mistakes & calling 2018 championship winning car is not right.
In that car I feel only Schumi or Alonso could have won the championship.
Lewis May score more points than vettel but can’t win WDC with that car too.
Look at Mexico Last sector for reference, mercs & RB absolutely thrashed ferrari.
Front tyre graining & blisters we saw in Monza. There are other couple of references too.
It seems you don’t watch my posts regularly.
Max making less errors ?? If that is called hard racing, then this year vettel made 1 mistake in Bahrain, max made it in Monaco. Wt else other than that ?
Season not ended for both the drivers right ??
I’ll give one equation, ferrari 2nd fastest car. Challenging mercs at some circuits.
Max RBull Honda, consistent 4th position. Except Monaco & last race he’s never in challenge with mercs.
When the real challenge Wheel-wheel comes into picture, then u would see how max behaves.
Remember China GP? He was supposed to win.
Let get Mick in the car. Two real Ferrari drivers. Imagine Seb and Mick leading us into action. Seb winning the cups then handing the keys to Mick when he retires. Then Mick wins a ton of cups. It would be beautiful.
Vettel made a mistake and lost Canada and the potential to win in Bahrain cause he likes a spin.
Max overtakes and wins a race in wheel to wheel.
And if ferrari is 2nd fastest car then redbull is 3rd fastest and him winning is even more impressive... You should proof read what you write, or at least try to understand what you write. This way you will look less like a biased seb fan boy

Max RBull Honda, consistent
With Vettel now on the verge of retirement, Ferrari has to find someone but unfortunately there is no fast driver out there to replace Seb so they have to make use of whatever is available, be it Ricciardo.
I don’t need to prove anything here.
I support my team n my drivers. As you people are supporting max even who made the mistakes throwing away wins.
If it’s only wheel to wheel racing that is making excited there are couple of drivers who are much more than that.
With those Hard tyres ferrari were switched on their pace, simply missing the logic.
No way RB can’t catch us on those straights. But still they did why ? Ohhh max power??
Look at Canada, which was the fastest car ?? Mercs? Where was max then ??
You saying vettel made mistake in Canada, I don’t term it as a mistake. That backend of the car stepped away but he controlled it back. Even then ham couldn’t able to overtake why??? You people don’t call those as brilliance.
Bahrain yes it was his mistake.
Straight question, RB as everyone know they are king of DF.
Max is been driving with TR&RB for long time. Then why didn’t max had a pole all those years even at RB favoured track???
He’s fast right ? He’s fast over Seb,Ham etc...right ?? Where’s that fast?
Don’t say party mode please. 2015 car we didn’t have party mode, but vettel took pole when nobody expected.
This year Charles is proving that he’s more than max. We don’t have strong car yet Lec & vettel took pole positions.
We could have in Baku too, but bad luck was on our side.
Last race too Vettel would have been 2nd in quali or May be 1st too.
Charles will finish ahead of max in this year's championship I believe. This in itself is a victory and will only drive max to further distractions and frustration it could well be a trigger for max to exit red bull.
He made a mistake and pushed Hamilton into the wall which meant he lost the race, "the car stepped out" is his mistake. (I don't think it was a penalty but it was his mistake that gave the stewards the power)
Also pole positions doesn't matter when you don't win. Or in maxs case you don't need pole to win.
