So, Lewis is the fastest. Alonso the best all round, Vettel the luckiest and Kimi the most likeable..
 
What will the order of these four at checkered in Brazil?

Kimi is the best allround AND the fastest. He drives rally!
Vettel is more talented then Alonso and is mentally even stronger.
Lewis is still fast but will he get his head right?
 
conclusion: Alonso is overrated and Vettel gets picked on just because he got lucky sitting in a Newey car lol.

I think Alonso's consistent, which is why he's always fighting for wins, even when his car is clearly not supposed to be there.
Vettel is indescribably epic. His pole laps are just ridiculous.
Hamilton's aggressive and fun to watch.

Agreed!
 
I think the thing people forget when criticizing Vettel's talent is that Newey's cars may be the fastest, but they are also quite quirky in how they drive. Remember how the Leyton House drivers had trouble adapting to how his cars drove even though it was regarded as the best designed? And how Coulthard was able to drive the first Newey designed Red Rull while his team mates could only score a handful of points?

A lot of team mate pawning. Where was webber and Grosjean? Ferrari killed Massa as usual annoying.
 
edit: Grosjean got all the new parts well. Red Bull still fails to give Webber KERS. The usual crappy team politics...

Haven´t read the first post honestly. But 3 day curfew???? As a streamer myself I don´t understand who wait three days to watch a grand prix. The legal options are broadcasted the same day though later in some cases.

Kimi is the fastest, period. Not best, not most talented just fastest in the way Gilles Villeneuve was. Has about the same luck quotent too.
 
Vettel was cobbled together by Helmut Marko and co out of the spare parts left from Schumachers gutting of the German talent pool. (And yes Helmut is a tool, but he wasn't always). Talent, yes,  the new Schumi no, not even close, were it not for the dead bull being so dominant he'd be a 1 time champ just like Lewis, and I do mean just like Lewis. If Kimi Haarkkonen;) gets that Lotus wound up, Vettel personal friend or no is going to be his traction mat.
 
Lew just never seems to get out from under the family thing. I really thought he would have distanced himself some 3 years ago. He's got another championsip in him but it will be a tough grind for him to dig out.
 
Alosno was the best driver of his era. Anyone ever see him start in a car without launch control when everyone else had it? Spectacular. The diabolically precise control of Prost coupled with the murderous desire to win of Senna.  Too old now, and his consistently being in the periphery of every political disaster in the last 10 years has eaten him up. He could still shake off the baggage and cut one more out before retiring.
 
And in the bugger me where'd they go category. Kubica, basically put the BMW Sauber into the running on his own did their RD and got torpedoed somewhere along the way. If he'd been better looking for the F1 cameras  no one would have heard  of Vettel. Crying shame that.
 
Kovaleinen, if he'd just have grown up. Good god how does a rolling accident like Grosjean get a lift in an F1 team while less lethal drivers wind up scratching around for rally or touring car rides

Kubica got injured in a rally crash and got a bad thumb. Critical since you do a lot of button mashing in today's f1. Kovalainen got his real chance in renault but messed it up big time. Then he messed up in Mclaren but he was already discarded then in favour for Lewis and didn't get the best material.

Being lucky is all part of the 'package'. Me, I could fall in a bucket of boobs and come out sucking my thumb but vettel - best car, best team, best designer, abundant luck (Brazil 2012 anyone?).
