F1′s latest feud: Vettel vs Webber!
Who said Formula 1 racing was boring?
Me for one!
I used to love it back in the day when the late Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost were furiously duelling for supremacy.
Then came the boring years with Damon Hill and co. And watching Michael Schumacher win race after race may have been fun for Ferrari fans, but for the rest of us…a snoozefest.
Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso briefly brought F1 to life with their duel for the number 1 spot at McLaren.
That was sorted far too soon, because Alonso went to Ferrari!
When Jenson Button, World Champ and all, signed with McLaren, we expected a few more fireworks.
According to some reports, the two are not bestest buddies and so far their rivalry hasn’t really put to the test. Even if they did go on holiday together recently.
But that’s not the case at Red Bull. They have two drivers within 5 points of each other on the F1 log.
And they seemingly chose a favourite. Sebastian Vettel.
The team took the front wing off Mark Webber’s car and gave it to Vettel. This was meant to give Vettel the edge in the race.
Webber however won Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone and apparently quipped something to the tune of “not bad for a number two driver” to his technical team at the checquered flag.
He had more to say on the matter at the press conference.
Nine more races left. This should be fun!
