Can Weeber do it?

Vettel may have shown some speed when there was no expectations on him but he now has a car that can challenge for a WDC and his mind cracks. He would not be the first competent driver who once under pressure to win cannot hack it. This is currently and will be continue to be revealed I say.

As for Schumacher, sorry Penz but he is not going to challenge for any WDC next year or this. He is now only 7/10ths. the driver he was. That is good enough to show signs of competitiveness but not enough to keep up or ahead of the newer crop of top drivers. He brings years of experience though to the development of the Mercedes, but do not put money on him challenging for his 8th WDC, this year or if he comes back, next year. Sorry man I know you are a a lover of Schumacher but his best days are behind him now in terms of truly challenging for a WDC. He will score points and help develop the car but that is about it other than his history as a driving champion.

Hamilton unlike Vettel is the full meal deal. He has the talent, the reflexes, the mind and the heart of a Champion and that will continue to shine over the next decade or so for him. He also has shown to grow in maturity as a speaker, which says a lot since he is still a very young talent.
