When you say Ferrari doesn't have that much of a pace advantage, I think you're still influenced by tracks that used to be very strong for Mercedes (so naturally at those it would at least still be relatively close). Then you can roughly guesstimate the performance advantage they'll have at the remaining tracks, under normal circumstances. You can simply look at the relative year-on-year improvements Ferrari made over Merc at every track, especially since they introduced their "trick" (dangit someone should coin a better term for it!).
Personally, as a Ferrari fan, I think Vettel has flubbed away his shot at the title and I don't think he'll come back. How do you figure? It's not like Ferrari has that much of a pace advantage, especially under race conditions. I think he has been incredibly unlucky this season, and these slight, but costly errors are really fooling people into thinking Vettel is not driving well.Įdited by EvilWarMachine, 04 September 2018 - 17:40. With a little bit of luck, all of the above would have seen little to zero impact on these races. Italy slightly understeers into Hamilton, spins around and is dead last. Hockenheim, if he brakes about 1/2 metre earlier he avoids the barrier. Minor error with big consequencesįrench GP he was boxed in, lost downforce thereby misjudging his braking, probably by about 1or 2 meters.
Hamilton also locked up this race, on his own, at the same corner. In fact, they are all very minor hiccups, just with big consequences.īaku he locked up when trying to re-take the lead, after leading the majority of the race. Yes, Vettel has made mistakes that have cost him points, but they aren't massive errors at all. Every single driver makes mistakes, every single race weekend, with very, very few exceptions.
