"Red Bull Spy" on Vettel's tantrum. F1 humour at its best.

Maybe four World Championships really have turned him into a screaming primadonna. Perhaps what really happened is Seb leapt out of the car and started foaming at the mouth. He made a very rude gesture in the direction of Adrian, snarled at Rocky, kicked Ole in the spanners and then stormed out of the garage, saddled his unicorn and rode back to Switzerland.

Meanwhile Adrian's lost his copy of the Illustrated Junior Encyclopaedia of Motorsport and says he can't design without it. Daniel's sulking is really starting to get everyone down, Dr Marko has decided to return to his roots and become a dubstep producer under his street name DJ Graz and, after his New York residency last summer, Christian's far more interested in street art than F1 anyway.

Seb, meanwhile has sent us a postcard, and says he's really sorry for all the fuss. He'll be back soon but has decided to chill for a while by spending a couple of weeks watching daytime soaps and eating crisps 'round at Mark's house.

The story in the paddock is that Vettel had a tantrum after the RB10 broke down after 1.5km and when leaving the pits afterwards. He is said to have refused to drive the car until the issues are fixed. As of now, Vettel left the paddock and Red Bull has announced to not run again today.

So there was a dramatic turning point in Senna where the FIA had banned traction control and active suspension. Senna had jumped to Williams just as they were coping with the rule change that disadvantaged them. He was frustrated with the team because he was accustomed to winning....
Parallels?

Difficult to say. The motor could have gone either way - it just seems that Renault has the most problems.
Banning Active Suspension was killing Williams in particular, while the new engine regulations do affect all teams.

Anyways, Senna held his chin high and fought back. I bet Vettel does the same.

Only the traction control part. ;-)
