“Seb’s dominance in the sport is boring for the fans” -Lewis Hamilton, ultimate dominator of F1 in this decade

Lewis Hamilton: Sebastian Vettel dominance could bore fans. -Uno reverse card

"Seb never was a good overtaker" 2021: Seb finishes the season with most overtakes

His character really showed when he kept smiling and joking even when he wasn’t winning. I think that made a lot of people realize his attitude was from his personality rather than his wins.

*”vettels dominance bores fans” - lewis hamilton* . that didn’t age well

"People hate Schumy but love him today. And I think ppl will love Vettel later...." A comment from 2013 on the Abu Dhabi 2012 podium video. The guy nailed it.

Seb defending the fans even though they're booing him, just shows his actual character and not the made-up character the media loved to hate.

Lewis in 2012: "Vettel's dominance could bore fans" Everyone in 2021: "Hamilton's dominance could bore fans"

His last smile was when he got driver of the race in Spain... After 37 laps on softs... I felt great for him.

"You either die the villain, or drive long enough to see yourself become the hero" 🤣

"they are on a tour, they go on a bus together" What a legend

I always loved how he looked like he had so much fun. He showed his enjoyment, emotions, not just being so serious all the time like other did

Now all the 10 year old f1 fans spam sbinnala

Lewis: "Seb’s dominance in the sport is boring for the fans" it's funny you say that, Lewis...

Hamilton & Vettel have never hated each other. There's always been respect between the two which goes back to them racing each other in Formula 3 back in 2004/05.

This gets recommended after 2021‘s Baku race Rightfully so! SV5💚

Seb was winning with a smile, that’s why people hated him. But people forgot thats just who he is

Seb going to Ferrari after being boo’d so much in Italy is the most Seb move ever 😂

You can really tell just how much of an impact Schumacher had on Seb's racing career. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Seb's attitude about never being in the wrong and the general sense of arrogance was inspired by Schumacher who was also just like that.

Mad respect for the Singapore interviewer telling the fans to stop booing

"Vettel's dominance could bore fans" *goes on to winning 6 titles with Mercedes* Fans: Look who is talking now

People just hate the winners, one day when Max or Charles starts to dominate F1, people is going hate him and say that he's just winning because he has a fast car

I'm going to say his Top Gear appearance made everyone love him. I thought he was a dick, then he went on Top Gear, posted the fastest lap and dropped a "some say" on Clarkson. Dudes a dude and we love him for it.

Vettels character was brutally attacked by Hamilton fans in 2017/2018 cos they saw him as a threat. Now he's no longer a threat, and they all realise what a great guy he is. Same thing is happening with Verstappen right now....

I started watching F1 in 2016. Didn't know people hated him. He's such a darling.

Lewis hamilton : 2013 vettel dominance can bored the fans MEANWHILE The TABLE HAS SWITCHED

I’m proud to say I’m 14 years old now and I was a seb fan since 2009 when I was 3

What people seemingly don't remeber about the Multi 21 incident is, that at the 2012 title decider (2 races before, just 4 months apart and Webber was not in title contention at that race), Mark drove him against the wall causing a spin for Seb with Bruno Senna, so Vettel understandably had a bone to pick with Mark in 2013.

7:15 Alonso seems to forget Vettel won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix in a low midfield car in the rain

Basically: F1 fans hate dominance. The batton has simply passed on from Vettel to Hamilton

7:10 Alonso is right, I don't think he meant it to be attack on Seb, just telling that at that point it was nearly impossible to separate driver's achievements from team's work

I was always a Seb fan. From his first win in Monza to now. He has always been my favorite. When he dominated people hated him for dominating, but he never was a bad person. He smiled he always had that nice personality, people just overlooked it. With Hamilton its different. I just cant stand him as a person I don't care that he wins.

I was 8 years old when Seb won his first title and he become my childhood hero right away. I never hated him and I never will.

For a guy who spent his early adulthood in such a extreme situation absolutely dominating his sport, Vettel has grown into a very grounded and humble man

Im a Vettel Fan since day 1, I’m currently 15 years old and I remember being at races here in Germany and supporting him at Red Bull, I even were on his celebration in (2012 I guess) Heppenheim at the age of 6

Sad that Seb‘s story with Ferrari ended that way…

Hamilton- Vettels dominance is boring f1 Hamilton- winning almost every race since 2014

Being hated is just a part and parcel of being successful. Nobody hates the good ones, they hate the great ones

i’ve been watching f1 since i was a kid, and my first memories are around 2010, 2011. i used to always want lewis to win and was sick of seeing vettel win. by the time it got to 2017, 2018 i wanted vettel to win the championship so badly just because i was sick of seeing lewis win

For me Seb was the same as now, character wise. His words have matured a lot for sure. The fact is human psychology is quite fascinating, we don't appreciate the tenacity and work put in to reach the top and simply give credit to the machines when things go right. Now we want him to win once desperately xD

Lewis: “Vettel’s dominance could bore fans” Well, well, well, how the turntables

so you are saying if hamilton started to lose more often people will start to like him

Crazy how this is exactly the same plot at max verstappen right now 2023

I'll shorten the video for you: He stopped winning world championships. People hate serial winners.

The saying of "you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain" has been twisted in Vettel's case. He was once a villain, now he's a saint to most people.

I mean he’s the only person who ages 10 years as soon as he switched teams

It's a bit of a stretch saying he dominated for those 4 years. 2010 and especially 2012 weren't particularly dominant seasons. After 13 rounds in 2012, Alonso had a 37 point lead, and while Seb dominated in the final 7 rounds Webber fell from 3rd to 6th in the championship.

I started to watch in 2010 and I didn’t care that he was so dominant, I looked up to it and I’ve always been and will always be a Seb fan!

proud to say i was a fan 10 years ago and still a fan right now

I wish to see him doing podiums, once again... Missing his smile in the interviews.

he is easily the most genuine and wholesome driver ive ever seen

I’ve been a Vettel fan since he started racing. This weekend in Baku made me happier than ever to see him back up on the podium😍

Seb: "Everyone is a Ferrari fan" Everyone: "Nope.. We are your fan"

Imagine booing a driver for doing their job really well. Those deluded fans who booed Vettel need to grow up. Go watch Dentist Drill E if you want a different winner every time.

its heartbreaking he never got a Ferrari title. I remember how sure I was he would get it in 2017, then it just went all downhill.

The main reason why people hated him because they were tired of him cleaning the field, except for the seasons that were close (during his time at Red Bull). I liked him the whole time, especially when with Mark Webber. It was basically the sliver arrow wars before Lewis and Nico wars begun. Bandwagon fans will start hate Max Verstappen when he starts winning constantly like Lewis/Vettel/Senna/Schumacher did.

How Vettel went from most hated to most loved... He stopped winning.

LH: Sebs dominance could bore the f1 fans, yea right know looks what happens.

My feelings are polar opposites to the videos title. Sebs Red Bull years were exactly what a winning racer should be. Indistinguishable from the likes of Schumacher with his team orders and Senna with his qualifying and racing brilliance, yet they’re two of the most loved drivers despite questionable last resort methods to gain wins. Webber had the same machinery yet could never get the Pirellis working as good as Seb. 2010 was his only competitive season against him and Vettel was plagued by reliability issues in 2010/2012 where he drove brilliantly to catch those titles. 2011/2013 were displays of dominance that could to unmatched. Once again; Webber had the same machinery yet was no where to be found. This is different to the Mercedes era as they were almost guaranteed a one-two finish and were comfortably a second per lap quicker than the second fastest. But Vettel’s attitude when things didn’t go his way was what made me start to change my feelings toward him. The cracks were starting to show. Jumping ship to Ferrari after one season being upstaged by Ricciardo; having a doormat of a teammate in Raikkonen where he’s guaranteed to get team orders, although to be fair Vettel was the quicker driver, buckling under pressure in 2017/2018 when he had a fighting chance of the championship and still buckling to Leclerc in 2019 despite management publicly praising Vettel and downplaying Leclerc’s races.

I started watching in 2010, been a vettel fan all that time, his dominance over the entire grid including his teammates was unbelievable

I've been a Seb fan since 2010 and I've stayed with him until now, so I was never on the hate train. But I did experience something like that with Nico Rosberg. In 2014 and 15 I hated him because of the Monaco qualifying incident and then the Spa incident, but him winning the championship in 2016 was an amazing story and, after he retired, we've never had a title race go to the last 2 rounds, let alone to the final lap, so I was finally able to appreciate his ability. Also, his retirement was very respectful, as he has been able to spend more time with his family, and he seems to have a much more relaxed personality now.

Respect to Sebastian Vettel he’s always a fighter and drivers in f1 never be successful without being stubborn we love you seb

As a huge Vettel fan from Germany I had the time of my life in 2013 xD I think I was the only one who enjoyed multi 21 xD I always do his "number 1" finger gesture when winning a race

This is my first year (2021) as an F1 fan so I only knew Vettel as a funny meme guy, not the 4x world champion. This was a great video!

Became a Seb fan in '09. Never jumped ship, but hopefully the future will be brighter than his current situation.

"There are interesting time for Sebastian coming." Alonso sees the future

Vettel has gone though a tough time with the media who were ruthless in their comments , the media did the same with Kim’s in his last years with Ferrari. So yes he did have some faults but the media has a lot to answer for.

Only the best are booed. “Everywhere I go I’m boo’d. I like to be booed. That’s why I fight hard.” - Mohammed Ali

"When he will have cars like others" He won in a toro rosso FFS

They hated him cause they couldn’t beat him. Then started liking him

Aldas, you did a very well video. Cheers.

This hits different after his retirement

Whenever Alonzo opens his mouth it’s like a great mage oracle spouting a prophecies of dark times; like an F1 Nostradamus.

i really like, that he doesn't use any social media and that he is one of the quieter kind.

Vettel with rbr was just stunning. Loved that era

Whatever my views of him on the track, I always loved his sense of humour. "They're on a tour you know, they go round on a bus" - I felt the booing was pretty rough, and him saying that just made me burst out laughing. He was treating it as pantomime, which really it was. I'll miss him in F1.

Long story short: everyone hates monopolist dominators, everyone loves "decayed noblemen". Vettel had been the former, now he's the latter, so you now have the overall scheme of things...

It was like David Coulthard said in that bbc F1 2013 interview “you should admire success not be jealous of it”. This go for every driver that had a dominant season. Even in the new generation if that happens. It’s just F1 now and has been for a long time. We just gotta accept it.

"COULD ANYONE MATCH VETTEL?" YOUR F1 2011-2014 GAME DEBUT CAREER MODE HEADLINE EVER.

I watched a formula 1 grand prix for the first time in 2012, looked at the grid and picked a random driver, after 9 years I'm still a huge fan of his.

I also think British F1 bias has a lot to do with this. Watching Martin Brudle essentially complain for 30 mins after Seb won the WDC in India 2013 was what changed my mind about it.

Lewis in 2013: he is too good for f1 Lewis now: dominating f1 for 5 years also Lewis: i dont care what other people say

having Hamilton win every year until 2021 really made me appreciate Vettel more.

I’m a Ferrari fan and i’d say it’s karma he never won a championship in scarlet red. If anything it proves Alonso’s point that he needed a top tier car at all times. He had his chances

Vettel was the reason I fell in love with F1 when I was little. He was just so good. He still is a great driver as he showed in the Spanish GP but with a team thar doesn’t respect him. The point about “Lewis having more class than Seb in his dominance ” isn’t true, he just hides it better (his arrogance) because he’s more mature at this stage of his life because he’s a lot older than Seb when he was dominating. You can tell this especially the year Rosberg beat Lewis. His attitude the entire year is the only time he gives it away. One telling sign of Lewis is when he’s happy and all is going his way everyone can see it but he hides his face with his sunglasses the minute things don’t go his way, when he doesn’t finish a race or doesn’t win. Not saying he’s a bar person or bad driver because he’s neither, I just think because he’s got more life experience now he knows how to hide it better than Seb did. But if people hate you it means they’re talking about you so if you have thick skin it wont affect you.

He is probably the F1 driver with the highest IQ on the grid

You’re conclusion is spot on mate!!!👌🏻

I think for sure, access to behind the scenes and interviews on KZfaq, and also Netflix Drive to Survive, have all allowed us more insights and familiarity with drivers on a personal level, always great to see Sebastian's comedic and playful personality. When he went to Ferrari, Seb had nothing to prove, he could relax more and input into car development, he had already proven himself to be a world champion.

I have been a vettel fan since the beggining at toro rosso. He has fallen from his prime in my opinion but i will always be his fan no matter where he is on the grid. Hes the one that put the love for f1 in my heart and for me he will always be a weltmeister

Lewis: Vettel's Dominance bore fans Me in 2020: LoL Lewis

For me it was quite the opposite. I loved him when he was in Redbull and when he did everything to win. He was a young talented and thirsty driver. Once he moved to Ferrari he became extremly unsympathetic towards me.

I also think a lot of people dislike/hate Christian Horner. He unapologetically picks favorites in his own team, covers for them and praises them without fail, and lambastes other drivers for doing the exact same thing he praises his drivers for doing. Just look at how this is playing out with Verstappen now. If not for the "Dutch Army" I think Verstappen would easily be the most hated driver on the grid.

I loved vettel after i saw him bowing in front of his car at the Indian GP. it was the most spontaneous and purest expression of that winning feeling which only sports can deliver. When he was doing those donuts and jumping around on the track, it felt like a part of his victory euphoria rubbed off on me, and I felt so happy for his win. Honestly if you were there, you couldnt help but smile for the guy. Of course it helps that he is an excellent driver and quite funny as well.

He went from looking like Justin Bieber to Calvin Harris

as a guy from sebs hometown and who knows him personally hes awesome he has such a big heart its awesome never understood the hate

"Seb was never the best overtaker" * wins overtake award of the season *

3:37 I swear every British person on sky news hated vettel look at how much this girl is pressing him it’s kinda sad

"They love you when you win and hate you when you are the best"

Funny how Michael Schumacher didn’t get hate here was a ledgers and got back to back wins but I’m happy he didn’t get hate
