Holy crap, S. Vettel is 5'9" and weighs in at a feathery 128 lbs. He's built like a little girl. He is the lightest driver on the grid.
M. Webber on the other hand is 6'1" and 165 lbs, the tallest and heaviest driver on the grid. For comparison sake, I am 1.77m and 89kg (if I was in tip top shape I would be 83kg). I guess even if I had the skill and all the money in the world I could never be in F1 driver based on my size. Those F1 drivers are a bunch of skinny little dudes!! |

64kg = 141lbs. Guy definitely does not weigh 128lbs. 64kg times two is 128, which makes me think someone mathd kilograms incorrectly. I am 5'9 and was pretty lean at 175lbs. I would look emaciated and sick at 128, like Christian Bale in the Machinist.

On the posted graphic Vettel is listed as 58kg. That is 127.868 lbs. How accurate the graphic is however, I don't know.

Using someones nationality as a reason for giving them a seat (imagine all the boring reporters questions next year "so, how do you feel about comments that you are only driving in F1 because of the Russian GP?" but they could have at least given an American a seat, since we already have one F1 race and uhh, are going to have two (hopefully?). That said, its a huge disappointment. Da Costa, Sainz Jr, Frijns, all huge talents that need a seat. And this fool gets one. Ive literally never heard of him. |

He is second in GP3. The guy who is second in GP2 is a kid named Sam Bird, whose face I could pick out of a lineup of a half dozen blonde euro 20-somethings, whose name I have heard linked with an F1 team, and whose results I have watched on TV. He has tested for F1, he is in the Merc garage, during F1 programming they discuss his race results - he is someone I would expect to get a seat, along with the other young guys who missed out.
But Kyvat; I have never heard of him, has nothing to do with how good I think he is; but it has everything to do with how good everyone who knows something about the sport thinks he is. And those people, my friend, are the ones who havent been talking about him. Or, I'd have heard of him. That being said, if you were right, if he was second in GP2, then hes possibly a hell of a talent and deserves a seat. |

Once again, completely agree. Sam Bird completely deserves a drive as well. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if James Calado got a drive next year. These are the guys who have earned seats. These unknown Russians haven't.

To be fair, Kyvat's results are quite stunning; in the lower formulas.. But your high school runningback might be the star of all-county, and run laps around the defenders in the state championships, but if he went to the NFL he would get crushed. Thats the problem with kids going in too young to F1. The talent pool is very shallow until you get to WSR and GP2. F3 euroseries is a good place to watch the young ones, too - its insanely competitive. But nothing but renault 2.0 results and one season with 400-hp GP3 cars against a talent pool about 3-4 drivers deep? yikes.

You all need to buy a team to run it your way. Clearly the teams in f1 are inept according to you all. Internet jockeys.

You heard it, boys, expressing your opinion about recent F1 happenings is no longer authorized. ProfessWRX has spoken.
