Formula 1

Its getting rather procession like in the same way it was when Michael Schmacher was in his pomp.
But the booing is not called for.
Vettel is doing his job and doing it well regardless of what happens to his teammate's car.
It's a classic human trait to not like consistent winners.
Vettel is a consistent winner whether I or anyone else likes it or not.
He aint there to be popular, he is there to win and does not care what people think.
If people boo him it just motivates him even more so its pointless.

If Max Chilton was in Vettels car he would win every week, the sport has gone beyond pointless..... The booing is also probably aimed at the Organisers and the people running F1, they need to change the rules and regulations and make it fair for everybody, I for one do not watch it anymore, and people who are paying the money want to see a good race not somebody casually drive around starting first and finishing 1st everyweek, they have a right to boo if they have paid hundreds to go and see a "race" not a 50 lap parade and I get sick of seeing Vettel's smug face everyweek and then listen to that Horner guy try and claim both drivers are treated equally when cleary his tongue is deep in Vettels ass and Webber is left to get on with it...

The problem, as I see it, is that we kept being told how good a driver Vettel is, and obviously he must be decent at least, as he's a 3-time World Champion, but we never get the chance to see how good a racer he actually is. Unlike Hamilton, Alonso, or Räikkönen, Vettel never wins races having started on the third or fourth row. If he starts on pole, he tends to win. If we saw him work hard for the win; overtake a few people, and show what he's really made of, he wouldn't receive the reactions that he does presently. It's the processional, driving off into the distance that annoys people (I think). But then again, one could say, it's not up to Vettel to slow down, it's up to the rest to speed up.

Max Chilton wouldn't win if he was the only driver on the Grid, he's fucking hopeless. He had a few decent results in GP2 but scores in lower series count for nothing, otherwise Paul Di Resta would be doing a lot better than he is as he won the F3 Euro Series(beating Herr Vettel on the way) AND the DTM.

Both the Chilton Brothers (Tom in WTCC) wouldn't be anything other than club racers if their old man wasn't a big cheese at AON Insurance.

I've seen both of them at various points in their careers and there are plenty of better drivers out there who don't have the financial clout to go higher. Max will be gone from F1 in 2 or 3 years unless a mid-pack team gets really desperate.

Does Vettel win in this too? it wouldn't suprise me! LOL

Suprise suprise vettel on pole, the reason I won't be watching this, this is causing real problems for F1 too as only 15000 tickets were sold for the GP this weekend, people are seriously loosing interest now.

The excitement is unbearable to see which of the also rans will grab 2nd place in tomorrows race.

Whilst I agree that Vettel's dominance is turning peopld off in their thousands it has nothing to do with the ticket sales in India. It's because the locals simply cannot afford the tickets.

The crowd in Korea was pathetic too because some bright spark decided to build the track hundreds of miles away from anywhere with a population. They're actually building a city around the track but I suspect F1 will move on long before it's completed.

Oddly enough, Bernie Ecclestone doesn't care if they race in front of 2 men and a dog (I wouldn't fancy the dog's chances in Korea though) because he gets his money up front. The Circuit owners need bums on seats to make it viable.

Rather will watch Rally or Touring car any day.
