Vettel is mentally stronger than Hamilton

Vetell's problems seem to lie in the fact that he always seems to have collisions when under pressure. However when he gets into a lead, he is hard to beat.

"Vetell's problems seem to lie in the fact that he always seems to have collisions when under pressure"

That has nothing to with pressure. That has more to do with the fact that he is not as talented as Hamilton at wheel to wheel racing. Hamilton's problem seems to lie in the fact that he always seems to have a scruffy lap in the last high pressure minute of Q3.

Vettel weakness is talent related, whereas Hamilton's weakness is related to mental strength

By choked you mean being told to stay out until his tyres were down to the canvass and having a gearbox malfunction?
They both made mistakes in the last sector too, setting significantly slower last sectors to their previous runs. Remind me who was on the front row last week too. Setting the fastest time in Q3 is a trait of Red Bull, not Vettel. They sandbag more than the other teams.

So you're saying the weakness of the world champion is talent related? I don't buy that.

For me every driver has strengths and weaknesses. Just because they are weak in one area, doesn't mean that their talent on a whole is greatly affected.

Vettel is talented. However when under pressure, amongst traffic, he shows his youth. So I simply can't agree with you that he has better mental strength.

Well then why is Webber not even on the front row and why is Hamilton almost level with Webber on points.

But do you agree that Vettel handles the pressure in the last minute of qualifying better than Hamilton? Just look at how despondent Hamilton was yesterday. He knows he should have been on Pole.

Come on, we all know that one driver is always given priority in each team, whatever they might say.

As I said Vettel's weakness is when he is amongst other drivers. So I don't think he has stronger mental strength.

You seem confused and don't seem to know what your own opinion is. First you say Vettel is talented, and now you question his talent. Also you haven't answered my question about whether or not you agree that Vettel handles the pressure in the last minute of qualifying better than Hamilton. Hamilton knows that he should have been on pole yesterday. Just look at his face and look at how well Button did in that "slower" Mclaren car.

You are still dodging the question and you know deep down that something happens to Hamilton in the intense high pressure last minute of qualifying that causes him to underperform and something happens to Vettel in the last minute of qualifying that inspires him. Did you see Hamilton's face yesterday after qualifying and how sad and despondent he looked. I think it might Vettel's ice cool killer mentality in the last minute of qualifying that causes Hamilton to choke.

Duh! Vettel being German has stronger mental strength in pressure situations ie penalty shoot out football.

Hamilton being English...weak mental strength.

I'm not at all confused and even if I said Vettel wasn't talented, I would seem pretty stupid, as he is world champion. You should apply your own comment to yourself. Have a think, then come back. Stop throwing comments out so fast, it makes you seems like you don't understand what you're talking about.

Both are talented drivers. Vettel suffers when under pressure, meaning his mental strength isn't better than Hamilton's.

They are both very close in terms of talent, as we can all see. The qualifying times were very close, so to say Hamilton suffered because Vettel has better mental strength is quite silly.

Anyone can see that Hamilton has more talent than Vettel and also anyone can see that Vettel is stronger mentally and certainly hates losing more than Hamilton. Hamilton hates losing too but Vettel publicly came out and admitted in 2009 that he is a bad loser. I think losing hurts Vettel just that bit more than it hurts Hamilton and that is why Vettel is more of a winner

Hamilton suffers in the high pressure last minute of qualifying. That is why he didn't get Pole yesterday.

Because Webber isnt a world class driver. Even still though, Vettel only managed to get ahead last year in the final race and just last week was thoroughly outclassed by him. You have a very short memory.

It is true that last minute of qualifying is similar to a penalty shoot out. You have one chance - Either you choke or you rise to the occasion. Hamilton is very typically English in his mentality - He fights hard and tries hard and gives it everything but doesn't have the ice cool composure when it matters and so he ulitimately fails to get the big prize at the end. Don't forget that Hamilton almost threw away the title in 2008

Right ok. Now I understand what you're saying. You're saying that British drivers(in fact all Brit's) have weak mental strength compared to Germans.

If that is what you're saying then there is no point debating further, as you need to debate this with yourself firstly.

Enjoy the race!

Today in the race Hamilton will try to compensate for his choke in qualifying. But he will overcompensate and will be too aggressive and will crash out like the choker that he is. He is just another English loser. He will go down in history as a one hit wonder and will be remembered more for his near misses and chokes than his one solitary title in 2008. Vettel be remembered for his ice cool winning mentality.
