After their lacklustre start to the season you'd think they'd be better focussing on the lack of performance than every other team's business...

I like Ferrari's approach this year;
"Our car's crap, we'll work it out"

Indeed. I know it's high competition sport but a just a little bit of humility goes a long way.

After winning easily for two years you'd think they'd allow themselves to accept that it won't always be that easy and take a few blows on the chin.

As you said, Ferrari's approach is refreshingly honest.

Having seen Vettels' incident several times I still think it was his own fault for moving across before he was fully past

"The 12 points which Vettel lost could be crucial in the World Championship."

Similar claims could be made by any top driver or team after incidents over the course of any given season. Get on with it Horner.

votchy +1. Vettels fault, not sure what the stewards were thinking.

TBH I think it's fair enough them taking issue with Mercedes' wing- that's the name of the game, it's not like they haven't been on the receiving end often enough.

But the stuff with Karthikeyan and the back markers does make them sound like whiny sore losers. Looked like Vettel was squarely to blame for his puncture, he should do a Button, hold his hand up, and move on.

Salmon - That's the point. When they are the ones with the rumoured dodgy tech they are always talking about how F1 is about innovation. Anyone else stealing a march on them is cheating.

It's like Alonso. Never admits that someone is just better when he gets beaten and definitely how Ferrari used to be under Todt.

RBR are turning into whiney-cock-bags cos its not going their way.

@mr salmon +1 on Vettel learning something from the way that Button conducts himself

Will be good to see how it all settle down once the circus get to Europe.

I think Alonso wont be far away at the end of the year. He is such a class act.

Kimi might just pull a few surprises off too.

MS has to get a win this year too. Just one last win.

Vettel really does need to learn some humility - spur of the moment comments are understandable but he needed to apologise when the adrenalin abated

Johnny Herbert was on the F1 show going through the footage and explaining why he and the other stewards gave a penalty to Karthikeyan
From the front angle you can see him clearly coming back out from the edge of the track

Interesting angle from the front. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other- they were both moving on the track towards each other.

Vettel has lost the bit of respect I had from him really. He appears really riled thus year with not being at the front.

Helmet marko is a complete bell end, Horner isn't so bad really. He's kind of in the middle really and has to tow the red bull line putting up with helmet and dietrict
