Sebastian Vettel achieved last Sunday in Singapore his third victory in a row and for the third time in a row he got booed on the podium. F1-fans want to be entertained, want to see great fights between the drivers and that’s exactly the opposite of what Vettel is giving them. He has been in the lead every single lap Sunday and apart from about 200 meters at the start, had a very calm afternoon. Vettel’s Red Bull was (and has been during some other races this season) too fast to allow any opponent to even TRY to start a battle. And that’s not what the fans want. And they make that very clear every time Vettel gets on the podium.Too bad...
Vettel’s
racing will remind most racing fans to another German driver. Yes, of course
I’m talking about Michael Schumacher! “Baby Schumi” as Vettel has been nicknamed
since his first moments in F1. And Schumacher was not very popular either during
his first career. He destroyed the sport by winning everything, some said. But I don’t think we
can blame either of them from doing too well, can we? Vettel is just doing what he loves and
what he is payed for.
I’m no big fan of Mr Vettel either, but we have to understand that how easy it may look; driving a F1 car isn’t easy. (Not even for Vettel in his fast Red Bull!) So love him or hate him, but nobody can deny that he’s a great driver, it’s as simple as that. And me, as a huge Ferrari-fan, saying that, is a big deal. Believe me! :)
