Saying "Prime Vettel" is just another way of saying a driver that cant be at his best level consistently

4>2

Norris 9 wins > Leclerc 8 wins so Norris is a better driver by that logic. Statistics in F1 don't mean anything. Vettel is massively overrated

@NotFifthGear Having a single win over a driver doesn’t say as much as having 21 wins and 2 drivers championships more I’m afraid

@NotFifthGear Thats the problem, with the Cars that Vettel has had in his Career he Should have like 35 more wins than Fernando and he only has 21 more

@FormulaR0b Alonso in hypothetical situations

Nobody in F1 rated him in his prime as well to be fair

Greatest of all time

Yep, cuz there's drivers who are better

@gurt___yo_ah No F1 driver will have their driving ability judged by how fast they can hypothetically wheel a Honda Civic, next

Vettel > Alonso

Wait for Russell next year bro. He will have 24 poles 24 wins 😁😁

back in 2011 with the blown diffusor, vettel would always input throttle under braking because it would powerup the blown diffusor giving him extra downforce mid corner compared to others, he was the only one with this driving style, he was just superior to anyone else.

all this BS about the greatest driver and goat. Just enjoy your driver and respect all others

I am enjoying my driver so maybe don't come under my post and tell me I shouldn't?

There's always a recency bias, I wonder if people will forget Max in 10 years if he never wins a title ever again

Vettel is a tier below Carmilton

I cant tell if you're genuinely Vettel agenda pushing or playing some 5d satire the last few days lol

Scroll back my old tweets lol, always been a Vettel fan

My man 🤝

Wow, that's what they call the british bias!

The driver and the car are one. If the combination works, you look like the best driver in the world. If it doesn’t, you look like the worst.

Webber beat Vettel.

Adrian Newey is the best designer and he won on his tailcoat. I like Seb a lot, but he would crumble under pressure, often blaming others for his mistakes, and for me that took the shine off his achievements. A caring nice man though by all accounts. One of my all time favourite F1 moments though was provided by Seb when he changed the number 1 and number 2 boards around in Montreal - brilliant! #F1

Go woke go broke. Vettel lost his head after he was promoting woke ideologies.

Blown away by ricciardo once regulation changed

There’s nothing that Vettel has done that Verstappen hasn’t done better at Red Bull

Vettel never qualified outside the top 3 in 2011

Was he prime Vettel when beaten by LeClerc? If not, why not?

My absolute goat

This was Peak Seb man. My goodness did I take this dude for granted as a young 13 year-old!!!!

Tought so too but the way he bottled 2017-18 made me change my mind

For me his prime was 2017 if it wasnt for bad luck in the asian leg he would beat hamilton in a much faster mercedes

Verstappen was objectively way better

lost to ricciardo once they got rid of that aussie bum webber. Some driver.

we saw one again, max, their championship winning seasons and then fall off currently are remarkably similar. i dont think vettel is goat, but i appreciate his recognition!

Very good!

🤣

Ferrari ruined him

Prime Verstappen wipes him

If they brought back blown diffusers he still to this day would be the quickest on the grid.

Newey merchant

He was a great driver but even “prime Vettel” had a fast corner weakness. Also his struggles after Red Bull weren’t because he was past his prime, he was in his early thirties. It’s more that he had a much smaller window than others to be fast set-up wise
