Oh the irony.

I was watching one of the latest F1 youtube vids posted by the official Formula 1 channel in which drivers speak about the perfect way to spend spare 24 hours. Most were, as expected of most modern "men", interested in such exciting things as planting trees, doing dishes, finding perfect cream for their face, trimming eyebrows and helping their partners with their make up (or something along these lines).

My recommended feed within that video had some interesting suggestions. Two covered the same subject but the men in them were the 1970's types, namely James Hunt and Barry Sheene (and Niki Lauda). I'm not old enough to remember these guys race in the 70's but I do remember the 80's and the steady decline that started from the moment Senna died.

Anyway I'm rambling, here are the videos if anyone is interested.

I agree. You're rambling.

And just what has Vettel got to do with it any more than any other current driver?

The keyword here is "antithesis".

To quote one of the comments from one of the vids

"these guys are just the antithesis of vettel - the running joke being that the take him out of his box on thursday for practice then put him back in on sunday after he's won"

I didn't realise I had my own Stasi officer assigned to monitoring my PH interests and performance.
