I have to admit that as someone fluent in Arabic, Spanish, French, and English, and less than fluent in Romanian I can be at loss of words sometimes

Vettel is one of the last down-to-earth drivers in Formula 1. His personality plays a big role in his driving on the track. Helmut Marko and Christian Horner know him more than anyone else and they know that Ferrari isn't the right place for him because he doesn't have the support he had in RB. The Ferraris also don't suit his driving style and Ferrari is still unable to give him a car with a strong back end. He's impatient at times trying to prove himself which caused a lot of accidents because often times he's trying to do that against alpha drivers like VER and HAM.
Congratulations on being multi-lingual. It's a failing of mine though I can make myself understood in Spanish after a day of two of immersion.

I have no idea whom you may know. That would be called arrogant presumption. I can only go by the words you use. Do you know Vettel?

The thing we can do is discuss his driving style. He needs a strong rear end which is stable and planted. He doesn't drive well without that attribute. Not at all. Your original assertion is that VET is a better driver than HAM. There is empirical evidence that he is not. The team principles who have voted HAM best driver for the past 4 years in a row...even when he did not win the WDC speaks volumes. If I'm not mistaken, HAM has been voted best driver for 6 or z of his 11 years in F1. Moreover, he's only been beaten 2 years by his teammate over a season in his entire career. This goes back to the lesser formulae.

It's great that VET is your fav driver. Everyone should have one or two. I don't think it's accurate or reasonable to say that he is better than HAM because we have empirical evidence that he isn't.

Cheers-mk
