Expectations from Seb.

1) Help the team win championships
2) Do 1) in a good humored and entertaining way

We had a lead driver in Alonso during that 1/2 decade you referred to. Ferrari needs a new car that can lead. As far as: 4} Any others? We need Sebastian to be willing to move over for Kimi when asked.

Well...tough luck.

the same as any other driver that has ever joined Ferrari?

Did you have the same expectations with Felipe and Irvine compared to Seb, MSC and Alonso?

[REDARMYSOJA]

I have the same expectations of Seb that I did of Prost, or Alesi, or Schumi when they joined. I expect them to give their all to make the team better and bring them back up from a bad time. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't. It doesn't matter as long as I think they did their best.

You can never say that Felipe didn't give his all for Ferrari, he just never quite got the reward he deserved, and the same goes for Fernando who was not given the tools to complete the job. I expect Seb to do what MSC did, and if he manages that, I'll be forced to support him!

Well said wisepie! Don't know where the hate towards Felipe comes from sometimes

I dont think anyone doubts Felipes commitment. I think the statement is more like your expectations would differ with drivers of different calibers. Certain drivers are very good, but need a strong leader in the team, and some drivers are great leaders as well.. the likes of MSC and FA.

Did you expect Alonso to do what MSC did? Alonso did not achieve what MSC did, yet I supported him, didn't you? If Seb does what Alonso did, will that be enough? He's a Ferrari driver now, that's enough for me, I'll support him until he gives me reason not too.

do you feel like Felipe or Irvine were not capable of winning a WDC? I seem to recall they both came close.

I never said Felipe didn't give his all.

I think they were capable but I didn't expect them when they joined. Both were obviously brought to be Michael's rear gunner, not to spearhead our title challenges. So I think it is fair to say that when they joined I didn't have the same expectations like I did when Kimi joined in 2007 or Alonso in 2010 or Seb in 2015.

[Brembo]

Can we expect the same dedication from Vettel to the team "Ferrari"! as Rubens gave ? I can only hope were in a constant 1st 2nd place finishes in the future. Rubens Barrichello drove for Ferrari during the winning years for Ferrari. Easy to look up if in doubt. He was there!

[JohnDelinger]

You know whats funny, when you post this stuff rather then seeing ferrari/vettel fans excited ...and looking forward..
you read nonsense mockery comments by alonso fans.
Its really getting annoying now.

I'm so with you. I for one cannot wait to see what Vettel can do...
