God, what a character! 🙏🙏🙏

Just for you, my friend, Jason Campbell70...

It’s truly wonderful to look back—it really does feel like a nostalgic trip down memory lane, doesn't it? 😁

I caught the team radio right after the win, and they were straight up calling it top Class. Just absolute top Class.
Number one is Back!


There was just so much raw emotion and pure joy in everything... honestly, everything about it.🙏
I saw some write-up on an American news site about it... it felt like being a little kid on Christmas morning, ripping open that one specific gift under the tree that you wanted more than anything else.
That’s exactly how it felt. Just like that.
🙏 🙏 🙏

Seb - one of the absolute greatest. EVER!

Absolutely top Class. Just pure, top Class stuff right here. 🙂

And what did I tell you all way back in 2011:

And what was it I said in my very first post on this topic:

I’m actually surprised you didn't catch the hint in my avatar, even though I've had it forever 😁
The "Em" stands for the number 5, representing five titles, all while rocking that red No5 car...
And the "Em" also stands for the initials SV—for Sebastian Vettel, and obviously for Scuderia Vittorio 😁

The "M" stands for number 5—representing five titles—all inside that red No5 car...
The "M" also doubles for the initials SV, standing for Sebastian Vettel, and even Scuderia Vittorio. 😁

Let's be honest, though. Your avatar? It's pretty bland.

The "M" stands for the number 5—you know, for those 5 titles—styled right on that red No5 car...
And the "M" also doubles as the initials SV for Sebastian Vettel, or even better, Scuderia Vittorio 😁

If you were a moderator right now, you'd probably just delete your own account out of pure embarrassment. 😬

Pretty likely. 🤣
Honestly, it's a miracle I managed to type that out while half-asleep at 2 AM. 😬

What an absolute disaster from Vettel in Bahrain—he messed up at least four times. Rosberg blew past him three separate times, and then to top it all off, Vettel couldn't even find a way to pass a single Williams. "stormybadger8"... yeah, right...

Sebastian Vettel: Bad news—the gap to Mercedes hasn't budged

After the first free practice sessions in Barcelona, Sebastian Vettel noted that Mercedes' edge remains untouched. It looks like even with a massive haul of new parts, Ferrari just couldn't close that gap significantly.

- We can definitely still find more speed. Even though the gap was officially four-tenths, honestly, it felt way bigger looking at the whole day. I haven't dug into the long stints yet, but it seems like Mercedes' advantage is still right where it was – said Vettel.

- That’s not great news for us – Vettel added.

Looks like nothing from Ferrari again this year. Alonso made the right call moving on🙂

It seems like there's nothing to show from Ferrari this year either. Alonso made the right call🙂

Oh, he absolutely made the right call; he just jumped from one struggling team on the grid straight into another... from the back🙂

Frank Collins85 said:Honestly, he made the right call—jumping from one team on the grid straight to another... starting from the back...🙂

Look, I’m telling you, he was just fed up with always being stuck in second place—he actually believed all those promises they made him at Ferrari...👋

Well, that deficit isn't exactly a shocker. Mercedes showed up to Barcelona with a fair amount of upgrades on the car. The engine itself hasn't changed much, but they've dialed in the front suspension and the ERS.

neonfox65 said:I’m telling you, he just got tired of playing second fiddle. He kept chasing promises at Ferrari.👋

You could say that two hundred times and still have two hundred left in you, but it doesn't change the reality: Ferrari is better off without him than he is without Ferrari.

I don't see how Ferrari is "better" when they're constantly finishing second. They were second in 2010, second in 2012, second in 2013, and still second in 2015... I honestly don't get what's supposed to have changed here.

neonfox65 said:I have no clue how Ferrari thinks they're somehow "better" just because someone else took the title. They were runners-up in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2015—so, like, what actually changed? Nothing.
