Germany is one of Aston Martins biggest markets, so a German driver in an Aston Martin F1 car is a good PR-move and opens up to loots of opportunities. Aston Martin has had a rough couple of years and this might be an attempt to save them.Is Vettel an upgrade over Perez? On current form, far from it. This move from RP makes no sense.
Ummm he was penalized a 10 second stop and go during the race which is the max penalty during the race plus he was docked 3 points on his super license.I am done with Vettel since Azerbaijan 2017, i still dont get why this subject was just dropped and he got no penalty. But his action there already showed how easily he gets frustrated when not driving the overpowered car and/or is just losing. Still im looking forward to see him with a new teammate and how he compares.
Speaking from experience, there is no greater critic than your parents. I once got 97 in math and my father's only reply was "why didn't you get 100%"Not a bad move for Vettel. RP has been trending better than Ferrari and he moves from the number 2 to the number 1. Although having an owner's son as your teammate isn't ideal.
It's a better landing spot than Haas and Alfa. Not to mention getting away from Ferrari should serve him well.
that goes for Hamilton atleast to the same extent.But his action there already showed how easily he gets frustrated when not driving the overpowered car and/or is just losing.
License points are not really a penalty and a 10 second stop and go is a joke after deliberately driving into another car behind the safety car from my understanding. But i think that incident has just shown how he really is behind his joking and being the nice guy. That was the point i was trying to make.Ummm he was penalized a 10 second stop and go during the race which is the max penalty during the race plus he was docked 3 points on his super license.

For the sake of Aston Martin, it's shareholders and beyond, Lance will have to step up but I know that if the team says move over for Vettel, he will or Sunday night dinner won't be something to look forward to. I am a big fan of Checo but he and Ocon squabbled all the time and ignored the team's wishes. That might have been an issue with Vettel teaming Perez. I don't think it will be with Lance.

Bono my tires! while driving a car that is so far ahead of the rest.
and remember his Mclaren years when he was a whiny baby all the time, wanting to retire cars etc.
these guys have above average careers and for them not being at the top for a couple of races can be extremely demotivating.
Or who are you kidding which driver would be happy to be treated like Vettel this year has by Ferrari? strategies to on purpose destroy any chance of a good result? not to mention the engine.
That depends on whether you think it was intentional. As much as I am not a fan of Vettel, I don't think he made contact on purpose. It looks to me like he was entirely caught up in showing his frustration by accelerating alongside and raising his arm at Lewis that he didn't control the car well enough. Still a dumb move motivated by anger. I believe the rules do allow for larger penalties, especially in the case of purposeful contact, but intent is hard to prove for this one.License points are not really a penalty and a 10 second stop and go is a joke after deliberately driving into another car behind the safety car from my understanding.
