VET will be remembered as a great of the sport he is currently 4th in total wins and 4th in total championships and better than senna and he have been in f1 as long a senna was and will go on to do more. he is young enough to catch Michael if he gets good cars behind him.GPR-A wrote: ↑26 Jun 2017, 16:22Michael offered waaaay more than a few hard nosed instances. He is an iconic figure for F1. But Vettel and Nico haven't done anything to warrant such respect as Michael did (a huuuge fanboy here). I am only including him for those on track antics for being a German.CBeck113 wrote: ↑26 Jun 2017, 16:07I'll assume that you have a problem with the ways of Schumacher, Rosberg (who was only German on paper, but yeah it fits here) and Vettel, which is ok, but I think you're missing an important aspect - they aren't more or less evil than other drivers, they are unable to hide it as well - it's a culture thing, and makes them look quite badly when compared with other drivers. OK, and maybe they were willing take it a bit too far as well....try things others may not have attempted. But without them the last 20 years would have been boring as hell...GPR-A wrote: ↑26 Jun 2017, 12:54Lewis had issues with Nico because of Nico's dirty and filthy ways. That's about it. It seems like being egoistic, dirty and filthy is in DNA of German racing drivers, at least those who happen to be in race winning cars.
If Vettel (Ask Webber) or Alonso doesn't get paired with Lewis, it is more to do with their evil ways. Lewis has always said he doesn't care who they pair him with.
We also had people like Fangio, Clark, Mansell, Prost (arguable for off track) and Mika who also offered great battles without being nasty on track. So, F1 would still be lovable sport without the likes of Vettel and Nico.
