In his article "Is Sebastian Vettel Bad for F1?" BM23Reviews reveals that many fans of the sport are in rage because the results of the sport have become too predictable. Vettel is a 26 year old German driver who races for Red-Bull Racing team for Formula-1, an open car racing sport. He became the youngest driver to win the World Championship at age 23. Some critics of Vettel say that they can watch the beginning of the race, fall asleep, and wake up when it's over and know automatically that Vettel has won and that this takes away the excitement of the sport. BM23Reviews writes back in Vettel's defense that he shouldn't be hated because of his superior skill in driving. That's like hating Michael Jordan for dominating the NBA in his era, it's absurd. Since I grew up in Serbia, the most popular sport in Europe was soccer and F-1 after that. And if you haven't noticed yet, I an extreme car enthusiast. Anyways, at the turn of the century, another German driver, Michael Schumacher was in his prime and ended up winning 5 consecutive World Championships in addition to his previous 2 making him the most successful driver the sport has ever seen. Yes, the races were very predictable because Schumacher would rarely lose but it did not take away any excitement from the sport. My dad and I used to watch every single race, even though we knew who would end up winning, the sport was fascinating to see these cars fly though corners left and right at speeds of 150 mph. I support BM23Reviews because you cannot hate an athlete because of their superior skill. Matter of fact, most sports have that athlete or team at some certain point of time. For example, the Chicago Bulls during Michael Jordan's Era, the Lakers with Kobe Bryant, and less known athletes such as 8 time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb. So for those who say Sebastian Vettel is bad for F-1 just because their favorite driver doesn't end up winning because of his, all I have to say is that there is always next year!
