How many f1 wins and pole positions does Vettel have (28 starts)?
How many f1 wins and pole positions does Webber have (123 starts)?

Vettel = 2 wins, 2 poles
Webber = 0 wins, 0 poles

I'm sorry, how many points does Kubica have this year?

That's low.  He was taken out in Australia and China. 

[rip|buzinator]

what's that? it's unpleasant to have someone attack a driver you like?

hah, weird. They you were doing it to me made me think you liked that kind of thing.

[rip|ChITty]

It wasn't an attack... more of a friendly reminder of our discussion where I mentioned that I thought Vettel was going to do better than Webber this year in the same equipment.  Season's not over yet, but I just wanted to give you a hard time while I could.

Well, let's make vettel 32 years old, break his leg and shoulder and see how he goes then.

for my part, yes, i am living in the past as i have a big problem with vettle having taken webber out during a SAFETY car period. The last two people to be killed in F1 were track workers ... i have familiy who have done track work ... Formula One is not the place you come to learn how to drive behind the safety car. people can get killed and it is not funny. I don't deny the kid is fast, but so far, he is a kid, and i think he's dangerous.

Just ask Buemi.

Do you think Senna would have checked up to look at a car he was passing, causing the guy behind to run into the back of him? I don't. Stupid, stupid thing to do.

Well, Webber doesn't seem to bothered by Vettel's previous actions anymore.

Who ran into who under a safety car in China?

Does buz dislike the offender in this instance?

[rip|buzinator]

i have no clue, i never heard of any such incident.
link me.

[rip|buzinator]

are you referring to the incident i referred to above?

I've been watching Buemi for about 3 years now (GP2 and A1GP) and he's a rammer, up there with the likes of yet another Red Bull driver, Michael Ammermuller.

[rip|buzinator]

I actually hadn't realized the incident was under the safety car. That does explain why Vettel was hesitant to overtake Trulli.

And yes, buz does dislike Buemi, he shouldn't have been going so fast, there's a minimum lap time you're not permitted to go faster than (for safety reasons), seems like he may have been heading for a penalty in any case.

Can we move on to some normal trivia rather than sniping at each other, this is very unpleasant.

Prediction - Will Bahrain be a wet race too?

Sorry, just trying to see if you apply your dislike in an unbiased manner.   

Just ask Buemi.

I actually didn't this comment when I read it the first time, so yeah, that was the same incident.  Poor Vettel, almost had his race taken from him for being cautious and following the rules.  Then you blast him for it! 

Regarding Senna...

Different situation entirely. But obviously commendable actions.
Good old brotherhood of speed.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say snow.
