I don't think its just Vettel though. Hamilton, Alonso, Massa and Ferrari are also other popular targets.

It was schoolboy stuff and from a guy supposedly in the championship fight
Did I say it wasn't? :P
Like I say, I'm more than cool with Vettel getting criticism when he deserves it. It's the Vettel anti-fanboys here, clearly just waiting for the next excuse to bitch about him, that annoy me. It was the same after Hungary, when he repeatedly got called a "spoilt little brat" for not looking happy on the podium, even though he had good reason at that time not to be happy. There have been other times this year when he's been dissed too(even after Malaysia, when he did all he had to do to win the race, there were people here questioning how convincing his win had been). This time, when he did actually make a retarded mistake, they probably thought it was Christmas and their Birthday all at once.
And calling a driver piss-poor isn't the same as calling them "a steaming pile of crap" because they made one bad mistake and saying they should "@#$%& off to a demolition derby" or whatever, just because they had one bad race. Those kind of comments are way over the top.
@SchueyFan, I know there are other drivers who get slagged off too, but the anti-Vettel comments have a particular obnoxious venom to them most of the time, which is out of order.
It's not difficult to criticise him where criticism is due, without making stupid vitriolic comments.

Christ reading stuff on here. Lewis and others have been totally slatted for doing less than what Vettel done yesterday and yet the same people that slated the others are defending him 
I thought it was a great race, lots of twists and turns.
Lewis was so lucky to get away with going off the track, was almost another China situation. But tbh many drivers made errors a few year ago Kubica would have been out the race as well by going off.
Vettel what can you say yet another error I just dont know what he was doing, I said 3 laps before the crash that he would hot button and he did.
Webber drove a great race, done what he needed to do.
Ms and Nico made me laugh, good on Nico for not giving up. Had the 2 started higher up they could have grabbed a top 3 maybe.
Sutil needs a top car now.
Next race for Alonso, Vettel and Button is vital.

Oh definitely. Vettel's mess-up which took Jenson out could actually have realistically ended both their title chances, even this early - considering they both have teammates who are the two current top title contenders, and they were both behind their respective teammates even before this weekend. Now they've suddenly fallen pretty far behind. It all depends on what happens in the next race or two, like you say. It's important for them that they catch up ASAP, obviously.
Alonso just has to go balls-out constantly from now on.

Vettel showed inexperience and impatience is all...
Good race, Lewis was... Lewis.
Im stuck here, Button's not gonna be WDC, it will be Lewis or Webber now imo, but I dont know who I want to win. Id love Lewis to do it, but realize Webber might not get another chance, and he's one of the best guys on the grid and would be the best WDC for a long while...
My vote, has to be Webber then.
GO WEBBER!
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL
