F1 predictions this weekend

Not many finger boy fans on here then! I personally do not think he is anywhere near a good a driver as Alonso and Hamilton and put them in equal cars and he would be found out
As Alonso said, he is not fighting Vettel but Newey as well

I think you could put Kimi and Jenson on that car too and they would beat Vettel as well, dont rate him that highly.
 
Ferrari will have a trick up there sleeve, however they wont get him to crash into Vettel as will only get him suspended for next season. What i personally see happening is something similar to last week, they will try to qualify as best as possible with both, (they cant manipulate much in Quali) then what they will do is deliberately under fuel him starting in about 5th place so he can race clear in a much lighter then slow the race for alonso to keep at a reasonable distance and stand a chance of taking over.

Vettel is a fantastic driver and just takes advantage of what tools are available, he puts himself on pole and then takes it from there, no harm in that. His driving style suits the car, and all great drivers have always done that. The beauty of F1 is the subjectivity, would Schumacher have done so well if he didnt have preferential tires designed for him?? would Williams have won in the late 80's early 90's without the electronics?? and many more unanswerable questions. Personally i think Vettel is a fantastic driver and more than that a brilliant brilliant role model for F1, (very similar to Rory in that respect) and that should be applauded.
