Top 5 moment of cheeky Sebastian Vettel?
You guys making me choose between my favorite things.....
1. The entirety of his Top Gear interview (x)
2. I already mentioned Abu Dhabi 2009, so: any time he shoves Jenson during 2009:
3. Him attempting to pull Mark into the pool post-Monaco 2010 (x)
4. Any time he does an impression of another person, but especially when he does it right in front of said-person (x)
5. Most radio moments where he's bitching, but particularly Monaco 2013 when he got the fastest lap "for satisfaction" even tho Rocky told him not to (x)
#again: obviously not an exhaustive list as i am limited by 5 LOL#for the radio one i wanted to say turkey 2010 but i dont know if that counts as cheeky#id say more bastard(affectionate)#i love that monaco 2013 one it reminds me of Max jeddah 2023 but way more cheeky#top gear interview is amazing#im not finished 2009 yet but istg every time he and jense are on the podium together he is extremely cheeky#(lol still feels weird to say cheeky as it doesnt rly exist in American english)#also most of these are rbr seb bcs he is my beloved brat <3 and its hard to not rhink of him first#thank you for the ask!!#its a lot of fun to talk abt Seb since i dont get to do so a lot these days unless its old races#catie.asks.

Will I: do some adulting and writing to round off the evening?
or ending up saying fuck it and watching a race replay instead?
#either carrying on with my 2013 re-watch (China) or Monaco 2008 since F1 posted the full replay on YouTube#...but I also have to put away laundry#and I want to write more LITFL#personal

vro0m’s rewatch - 116/304
2013 Monaco GP
Okayyy today we're watching the worst race of the season aka MONACO
Massa and Grosjean (twice) ended up in the barriers, already.
Oh dear, there's a new controversy. What now. Apparently after the Spanish GP, Mercedes did a 1'000km test. Pirelli allowed them to do so I guess to understand the tyres better but it's illegal according to the FIA. Merc says the FIA signed off on it and that another team did that earlier in the year (who?). A meeting is happening. Lauda says they've been asked by Pirelli to do the test, they asked the FIA if they were allowed to do it, they said yes and he thinks other teams have been asked too. Honestly I understand the issue but if the FIA said they could do it, it's on the FIA and not on Merc. Lauda says one of them has tested earlier in the season (WHO?). Damon Hill says what they did wrong is that, as the team who struggled the most with the tyres in Barcelona, they somehow managed to get picked by pirelli to do the test. Brundle says it's impossible to do testing in Barcelona without people noticing because there's a hotel overlooking the track etc. and so why didn't they come out earlier and say it happened rather than try to hide it? Also he says it can only have been "premeditated" because such a test involves a lot of logistics. They agree Pirelli has to ameliorate the degradation of the tyres and lessen the risk of delamination and so they have work to do but they did it with one team.
Ted says Redbull is one of the teams who are vehemently protesting what happened because Mercedes has protested many things they did before so they're trying to heat the issue up. (Is that where it all started?) Ferrari is also pissed. They're trying to get Lotus to join them but they don't want to take part in it. (Apparently last time they protested something Redbull didn't back them up.) McLaren are partners with Mercedes so they're not saying anything, even though the partnership is about to end as McLaren moves to the Honda engine. It's like children in school drama isn't it?
Quali report. It was wet! Massa didn't take part in it, he crashed quite heavily in FP and the team couldn't get the car back in shape in time. Grosjean made mistakes 3 times during practice, touching the wall twice, he didn't make it into Q3. Seb thought they could challenge the Mercedes but he made mistakes and he's 3rd, ahead of Webber, Raikkonen and Alonso. Both McLarens in Q3 for the first time since Malaysia. It seems Jenson had a fuel pump issue and he's only 9th, though. Lewis wasn't happy with his setup during the FPs, and he's 2nd, while Rosberg got his 3rd pole in a row. But well… I'll wait and see how they do during the race before getting happy about it.
Pinkham asks Lewis if he thinks they can get a 1-2 in the race. He says it's gonna be tough but he's excited, he just hopes to get a good race. He says it's the most special GP to win apart from your home GP, but it's also the most difficult race to win so when you do win and get to meet the Prince it's the “crème de la crème”.
Now we hear Redbull has lodged a protest against the whole Mercedes testing thing.
OH MY GOD BABY ROSCOE?!
They are in cars, each with a journalist. So at this point Lewis has been living in Monaco for a year. He says he loves it "I was literally so bored in Switzerland" (😭😭😭 yeah look, we have other qualities).
The journalist says he has his team-mate as a neighbour now. Ah here we go with the brocedes installment. Lewis says sometimes when he doesn't have food he just goes upstairs and knocks on his door. They're talking about how extremely difficult Monaco is. Rosberg, in his car, is asked if he's the jetski king and he says yes I am. Then they see Natalie Pinkham getting in a wetsuit and Lewis says she looks good in it. His journalist says yeah too bad you're not with her, and he tells him he’s with the other guy who's there. Ah they are actually going jetskiing. Nobody explains anything in these broadcasts damn.
Of course, Lewis immediately sprays Nico and starts laughing like an actual maniac while Nico gets water off his sunglasses.
But well, then Nico does the same thing to the skysports crew, so. Then Natalie Pinkham is riding behind Nico and he makes her jump for some reason?! They're supposed to be racing but everybody forgot to check the time. I'm very confused about the rules of this race, they really literally didn’t explain one thing, but whatever. Lewis does the same thing with Brundle?
Anyway Lewis lost.
Now Ross Brawn says they weren't secretive about the testing, as while they were setting up for it all the other teams were still there. He also believes that it wasn't their responsibility to communicate on the test as the test was a request from Pirelli. He says they didn't try any upgrades or anything like that ; they did what Pirelli wanted which was a constant car, as consistent as possible.
Oh. Oh. Seriously. What’s with that haircut?
I do not like it.
Formation lap
Bianchi is being pushed off the grid, the car has an issue. He’ll start form the pitlane
And they're racing!
Oooh Lewis almost overtook Nico but it's so narrow here. Yellow flags, there's been something at the back. Seb is attacking Lewis, but he locks up. Contact in the midfield in the hairpin. A McLaren just cut the chicane as they are racing each other again.
At the end of the first lap, Rosberg is still in the lead followed by Lewis, Seb, Webber, Raikkonen, Alonso, Perez, Jenson, Sutil, and JEV. Maldonado pits. Van Der Garde also pits as he lost his front wing. Seb attacks Lewis again who swerves back and forth to defend which is supposedly not allowed. And then they all go on tyre saving mode. We might reach record levels of boredom.
Almost 10 laps in, it's an engine fire for Pic. So most probably a Safety Car. No. Actually not.
20 laps in. The Mercedes boys are finally told they can pick up the pace a little bit. Webber pits. Raikkonen pits. Jenson pits. It's a bit earlier than they all hoped for, as they're trying to stop only once. Massa pits. Still nothing in the top 5. Ah yep! Alonso pits.
30 laps in, we have yellow flags? Ohhh Massa crashed. Perez pits, Lewis sets the fastest lap. Apparently Massa crashed in the exact same way he did in FP3. Seb pits. It's a Safety Car, the first of 2013, actually. Surely now the Mercedes will pit? The Safety Car has picked up Seb, but the Mercs are still running free. We see Massa sitting surrounded by marshals and medics who are putting him in a foam neck brace. Grosjean pits. Maldonado pits. Rosberg is in. Lewis is in. It worked well for Rosberg who is still on the lead. But for some reason the Safety Car has released the Redbulls who went around the track and Lewis finds himself behind them. It's confusing I don't understand why they did that.
40 laps in. Lewis attacks Webber! Oof it was close. Perez overtook Jenson after Alonso made contact with him. Maldonado crashed after contact with Chilton. Red flag. The barriers are dislodged and in the middle of the track, they need repairs. They're all getting new tyres I think. I mean it would be stupid not to.
Ah, now Toto is Mercedes' executive director.
Alonso is told he'll need to give back a position to Perez because he left the track to avoid contact with him and it's a "would he have not retained position if he hadn't done so" type of situation.
The cars are back on the track behind the safety car. Perez is allowed to overtake Alonso. And Safety Car in. Lewis attacks Webber again.
Lap 50. Lewis is still putting Webber under pressure. His tyres are starting to suffer.
Lap 60. Bianchi DNF after a slight crash. And Grosjean crashed into Ricciardo. We see a slow-mo, Crofty says "that's Grosjean behind Ricciardo he's just gone… launched himself over the rear" in a surprised tone of voice. Brundle glumly says "he worries me that boy". (Remember when he said "he doesn't seem spatially aware of his car" in 2012? Lmao.) So that's another Safety Car. Nico almost ran over a pigeon. Here they go again. It looks exactly like it has looked since lap 1 (except Lewis isn’t P2 anymore, so actually worse).
Lap 70. And it had to happen, as Perez was racing very daringly since the start : contact with Raikkonen. He got squeezed between him and the barrier. Raikkonen pits. Contact between the two McLarens. That was weird.
And it's the end of the race thank GOD
Rosberg wins, Seb P2, Webber P3, Lewis P4.
Lewis confirms what Toto said at some point which is they didn’t ask him to hold back, he decided to hold back. He says actually he was told he needed a 6 second gap and maybe it was a bit more than that. And that's why he ended up behind after the pit stop. He congratulates Nico and the team. He just has to keep working harder. Pinkham asks how tough it is because it looked like bad luck. He says it doesn't put it down to bad luck, he just wasn't good enough this weekend. That's all. You can tell he doesn't wanna talk.
