hi guys
Think we can safely say that vettel"s season is now finished after his latest disaster with poor set up caused by his near lack of running on friday effectively finished his race today along with non existent championship chances -
however -------------- the extremely clever people at red bull will now be acutely aware that after todays win ricciardo"s season is far from over and with 50 points on offer for the last race is still very much in the mix for the biggest banana come divvy up time at abu dhabi in november ,
i personally think it is inevitable that red bull will now be thinking long and hard about introducing team orders in favour of ricciardo with vettel now being " promoted " to the task of rear gunner and
"holder upper" of the two merc wallas wherever possible for the final 7 races ,
sad to say this does not bode very well for hamiltons championship chances as with only a 35 point lead over DR he now finds himself in a very vulnerable position from the fired up and equally quick rosberg with a 29 point lead and an equally fired up DR with possible team orders to use to his advantage against lewis for the final 7 races -
just wondering peoples opinions as to whether red bull will now push there development potential for the RB10 and use the very effective deployment of team orders with vettel as rear gunner for DR and whether people think that riccardio now has a very real chance of the drivers championship for 2014 ?
red bull to now instigate team orders ?

Whether Nico Rosberg knew what he was doing is irrelevant. He simply can not handle close quarter racing with anyone and especially when up against Lewis Hamilton.
If he had any sense he would have done what he always does and gain places because he has DRS and the car in front does not. Or the car in front is at least 2 secs slower. He should have waited until lap 4.
To be a worthy champion you have to do something yourself that is worthy. Not because some JA606 member has taken an irrational dislike to another driver.

so basically you are saying that any driver that makes a slight error of judgement is not worthy of a drivers championship ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is why I said I think you have learning difficulties. He has not said that at all

when people talk about not being a worthy champion what exactly does it mean then manx -

You seem to think Schumacher is not a worthy champion, why do you think so?

i have never said micheal is not a worthy champion manx as he was a very good driver all be it along way in ability from some of the all time great drivers i have seen ,
------- i just believe his titles were very manufactured and contrived and he had more manufactured advantages than probably any other driver in the history of the sport
--------- however he was a very good driver and used his lucky situation to maximise his WDC chances every year and for that he deserves a certain amount of credit -

It would be pretty pointless as without the Mercedes' tripping over each other Ricciardo wouldn't stand a chance. Vettel is currently not quick enough to take points of the Mercedes', and Ricciardo will not be able to win the title by himself.
To summarise, a Mercedes will be winning the championship this season. So while Ricciardo's season isn't over, I think that it will come down to a third place at best.

This article is quite confusing......
How exactly can Seb help DR if the Mercedes are always going to qualify ahead of Seb plus DR himself always seems to be higher up the grid than Seb on qualy and race day.

The article is a place holder which will be used in the future to suggest Seb was not competing with Ricciardo which is why he's being dominated.
The article is half a season late

see where you are coming from , but it would seem in recent races vettel is starting to raise his game but alas is still having the mechanical and electrical gremlins -
we dont know what the final 7 races may hold for mercedes and whether red bull may lessen the gap between them not to mention that mercedes seem to have there own internal driver problems which could be the ideal situation for riccardio to take advantage of in which case team orders in his favour will only serve to aid his chances should red bull start to erode the gap between the two teams --

i see vettel is still putting a bug up where the sun dont shine --- looks like it is blossoming into full blown paranoia
