I'd like to draw a comparison to the world of NASCAR if I may: Looking at Dale Jr., he's tried so hard to fill his fathers footsteps in his time at Earnhardt Inc. when really he never could. Only in the latter stages of his career, when neither Earnhardt Inc. was around nor most of the old guard's nostalgia as well as him being the driver of a different team; was he becoming who he is now. Just a fan favorite driver, all around good guy who's done well for himself in his career, won a couple of crown jewel events but has firmly went out of the shadow of the Black No.3 to forge his own legacy. Idk if it's a justified comparison, but it's definitely a similar tale
While Sebastian Vettel may not have fulfilled the expectations with Ferrari, his stint at the Scuderia wasn't exactly a failure. Fourteen race wins is nothing to be sniffed at (only Schumacher and Lauda have more to their name).
I think this is quite a german-centric version. I grew up in Spain, and I never saw Seb as the new Schumacher nor do I think that was the general perspective there. At the same time, for example it doesn't matter how many races or championships Sainz wins, he'll always have the baggage in Spain of being compared to Alonso, which heavily burdens his legacy there despite being a good driver. So it depends quite a bit on the context. In general I see Seb as a very good driver but not top in history level that probably overachieved at the beginning of his career, which created expectations that hindered him later on.
Very interesting perspective, thank you for sharing! I hadn't considered the Sainz-Alonso comparison as being this much of a hurdle for Carlos, seeing as I'd assumed he *might* be able to position himself better if he were to do multiple championships in a row. My perspective is definitely centered around german media and their portayal of Sebastian. It's what I grew up with and felt like chucking into the discourse. And I do agree that he was a good racing driver who might've "peaked" too early. (hi jacques villeneuve) Then again, he's one of the most succuesful drivers in Grand Prix history. :D
2018 is the biggest bottle in F1 history. Alonso said it best, once he doesn’t have a dominant car anymore he can prove how good he really is. And he faltered time and time again from 2014 onwards.
What is "a real fan"? Someone who worships and names their profile after a driver who died 30 years ago, because of the incompetence and shoddy workmanship of a steering column. Not to mention an even shoddier race track that had been resurfaced in one of the fastest and most infamous corners in F1? Williams has the Senna curse, and it ain't going away when poor Carlos gets in the car. I hope he gets put into the Merc seat Pewis Pamilton just bailed on. Ferrari will regret their decision to drop Sainz. But we all know its about the merch and marketing sales increase to Ferrari and Hamiltons portfolios. F1 is a money driven farce these days. Makes me ......sick. At least this @simoncoreboi is MAKING videos about the sport he loves.

The quality of this video is way beyond the size of the channel. This is great!
Thank you! :3

The guy lost his mind too easy. So mentally week.
