Well, thanks for the 14 wins I suppose. A great shame it ended this way but it was in his head more than anything. Even in 2017 and 2018 the Mercedes was 0.1-0.3 seconds/lap faster all the time in race trim so it takes a special psyche to overcome that. Sadly, Seb wasn't one of those drivers (Michael/Fernando/Ayrton) who can do such things.

When do we make a Seb tribute thread?
"I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance." - Michael Schumacher

I'm still wondering when there will be a tribute thread for Rubens?OK this was and still is to some degree a Michael Forum much more so than a Ferrari forum, but Rubens put in the time for sure and obeyed the #2 driver rules. Seb on the other hand was forced to be the #2 driver by Charles not obliging by any rules. Seb does merit a tribute thread for his genuine efforts. As the saying goes, "It's the car !"
Great. I saw a video on YT, it was his first win with Ferrari where he was very emotional (literally with tears in his eyes on the podium). I personally feel, he had that passion to win a title with Ferrari, unfortunately it didn’t happen. All the best for him on his future project.
Vettel was never "my" driver, but still he did his very best for us, so I'm happy for him.

Yup same here. I still remember when I used to hate when he was driving for RB, winning in a superior car & Alonso matching him in inferior car.
But when he moved to ferrari, those couple of wins initially made me look he’s the next to get the title back.
He always had that dream with Ferrari, sadly it ended like this. For me he’s below Hamilton, neither great nor ordinary driver.
Vettel: "I didn't just go to Ferrari to be with Ferrari, I went to win titles and not just races. You could say that I failed. But I got to know people who've helped me a lot, I've made friends for life."

Hahah loved that battle from 2014. It was on the hard but fair, both world class drivers pushing each other to the limit.

Also 2011, 2010,2012 they had some cool fights
Respect Seb as he is the third best ferrari driver in history in terms od winning races. Just 1 behind lauda, of course lauda won 2 wdc with ferrari and and absolute legend of the sport.

I predict Vettel to have an outstanding season in 2021. I don't think he will fight for wins or anything, but I suspect he crushes Stroll (shouldn't be that hard), and gives the illusion that he's outdriving the car. He won't have any pressure, the team should develop around his style more than the current Ferrari.
Tractors? Have you watched a race this year mate? both Renault and Racing Point/Aston Martin are ahead of Ferrari this year. They have better packages and Aston Martin will have Merc Engines + Parts etc. We are stuck with our tractor until 2022, so I fully expect Alonso and Vettel to be ahead of Charles and Carlos next season.
~FORZA FERRARI~
sadly, tracing point WON'T BE GETTING any hand me downs from Merc next year as they are NOT allowed to copy....hmmhmmm borrow Merc 2020 parts and use them in 2021.....so i'm pretty sure they will be quite slow next season....
on the other hand, Ferrari will have a brand new power unit for next year which will make a big difference compared to this year.....and if they fix their aero a bit....anything is possible....not saying they'll be fighting for championships.....but podiums and maybe even the odd win....
im sure they are putting all their eggs in the 2022 basket....

Vettel: "My role in the history of Ferrari is a small light."
There will be a RTL documentary this Sunday before the race about Ferrari's history.
