F1 | Irvine attacks Vettel: “he behaved like a fool”

Sebastian Vettel failed to conquer the 2017 world title due to some error individual, a machine that fluctuates in terms of performance and reliability and, naturally, for its excessive power Mercedes-Lewis Hamilton which allowed the latter to win the championship. According to some, however, much of his defeat was caused by his behaviour, which was too often wrong, with exaggerated and hasty reactions, which put his fight for the cup in serious difficulty. The former pilot himself thinks this way Eddie Irvine.

“It's obvious that he – Vettel – had a weaker car, I don't know if he was the better driver, but Sebastian is disappointed with his behavior in and out of the car, he acted like a fool,” Irvine said in comments to Motorsport - Total.com. Irvine went on to say that theVettel's attitude it is the result of his frustration at not being able to fight with Ferrari and get the title against Hamilton: “It is frustrating for him, he won four easy world championships with Red Bull, when he had by far the best car and just had to beat Mark Webber“he added, referring to the four world titles he won with Red Bull from 2010 to 2013. “Winning like that was easy, now he has to work hard, Lewis has a better car and doesn't need to work as hard as him and so it must be difficult for Sebastian to see others win like this,” he continued on the fight between the two.

With four world titles now under his belt, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton they will fight next year to reach quota five: Who will reach this goal first?
