webber did well, very well from barcelona 2010 onwards. The beginning of the 2011 season for him was not that bad either, but what brought him down i think were mainly the spanish gp, the british gp and the german gp. those were his chances and he missed on a win in each one of them. just think how he would've cruised to a victory at barcelona 2011, hadnt he been jumped by alonso on the start. or from lewis in nurburgring. or if we had a dry british gp. After that his qualy performances started deteriorating and he looks like he's lost all his motivation.
On another note. Looking at lewis today and lewis an year ago i can say that in my view he just lost the title last year, by making the very same mistakes he has done this year. Crashes in singapore 2010, monza 2010 and you can add the mistake in korea, which costed him a potential victory. This year it just escalated because of several other factors like button getting better, tyres getting less durable, car becoming a little more inferior etc.
Quite frankly i cant see any other than schumacher and evetually alonso challenging vettel nex year (but with the way this ferrari is going ...BACKWARDS) i cant see it happening. i really hink that mercedes mgp3 will be a fast enough car. ferrari --> NO WAY, even brundle said after the korean gp, that alonso should be worried the way things are going. Mclaren, hmmm, difficult to call. I d say NO. at least, because they only have 1 title in the last 12 seasons (and lets be honest, it was a hell of a lucky one as well). And i personally dont believe in the ability of their drivers: lewis in my view is overrated (he only had a run of 9 cons. great races in 2007 an thats it. Since than he is only going backwardSs AND he is super inconsistent). Button, no comment, although by the looks of the way hes driving, he might be a bii threat next year.
But my main point is... vettel is a damn good in psychological aspect. And he needs someone who is good in destroying people psychologically. the man who did it in '91 with piquet, 94 + 95 with hill. 2006 with alonso. and 2011 with rosberg. still, i am open to your views of who can challenge sebastian next year and why. All above is just my view of the world now !
CHeers !
P.S. i wonder who'd bet his money on massa :P
