Ugh, the usual gushing from Lewis & his "wingman" (Toto said it's ok to call him that now

)

**Honzus** · 7th October 2018, 06:52

Woke up, checked the results, deleted recording from PVR, I am not intrested to watch it even at 8x speed. Mercedes is dominant again, they deserve win. Remaining races will be the same, record the race on PVR, check results, delete the recording....

Congrats HAM and Merc.

**IulianFerrari** · 7th October 2018, 06:52

Hamilton keeping friends with Max, smart thinking...

**tifosi1993** · 7th October 2018, 06:54

Another championship that is slipped out of our hands because of all these mistakes.
Vettel gets impatience and **** up and the team that messes up with strategies.
I'm so tired of seeing Hamilton and Mercedes win, so tired of seeing Ferrari find ways to fail.

you have a good point there mate.....i think i will do the same and NOT loosing any more precious sleep.....lol

**Schumiklub** · 7th October 2018, 06:56

Well it was good while it lasted. I was so hyped up at the beginning of the season, now I'm just meh.

**Kyss4k** · 7th October 2018, 06:56

Something interesting... I have never had any doubts about Alonso on the start, or when overtaking, on wet etc. Even when Seb was new in Ferrari, I was only worrying about if he will make the overtake stick or if he will have to try again. Now, for some time actually (since the last season) I am closing my eyes everytime Seb has to do something else, than just go straight. I guess I lost the faith in his abilities.

**abbottcostello** · 7th October 2018, 06:58

Have to credit merc for clawing back an advantage. They didn't just roll over & give up when we put them on their heels. They had much to do with Ferrari's perceived "decline"!
I won't blame Seb for trying harder than what may be wise & that usually leads to mistakes.

He was "just going straight" when he met the wall in Germany. lol

Italian media (Turrini and co.) exclusively blamed Alonso for Ferrari's lack of success. Let's see whom they gonna blame now.

MA

The next season will be even worse for Vettel. When he starts to lose from Charles, he will start thinking about changing the team.

Of course Alonso must be blamed, his lack of overtaking skills cost Ferrari title in 2010, sat behind Renault for eternity lol. If Vettel was in that Ferrari, he would be world champion with that car as he would've made that overtake stick.

**Vettel165** · 7th October 2018, 07:01

Well even if Seb would be third or second today, it was game over already before the race for the title. Not a chance. I dont care anymore. Mistake by Seb today but it doesnt matter, he had to go for it.

Going back to sleep now.

Kimi had no pace at all, boring, Seb had it at least for third place but was way behind, he had an amazing start.

Bring on 2019.

I think the same. His racecraft is mediocre at best.

Start searching for a place to hide when Leclerc finds it tough to beat Vettel. You will get some moment of happiness when Leclerc will beat Vettel for 2-3 weekends in the whole year.

The same can be say for you, you as a person is probably mediocre also at best, you will never be a f1 driver.

FIA said they DID NOT put additional sensor on Ferrari battery/energy recovery system. At least that what Sky reported.

For Vettel 2019 will be even more disastrous than 2014. There will be no place to hide

But you can hide in your hole now, and never come back to this forum. Donkey. You are never a Ferrari fan, the real ferrari fan support drivers in bad or good days, doesnt matter... TYPICAL GLORY HUNTER...

Unless he follows Bild's advise to go to a psychiatrist for some sessions.

**KimiBot** · 7th October 2018, 07:10

2020 we have Mad Max and GIO. Seb has moved to Mercs after 2019 and Leclerc is back to Sauber. Then we start Mission WINNOW.
It is painful to know that 2019 is going to be same, something to watch: RIC-Hulk fight, Kimi-GIO fight, Honda PU, Renault PU, Gasly.
