This isn't exactly "new news" either. Seb has been against the introduction of turbos ever since the talk of them replacing V8's began. He's been consistent in saying he believes F1 should be loud. Because that was his first memory of F1
quoteCould it be that Kimi Raikkonen has similar problems than you? Vettel: Certainly for Kimi certain things don’t comply with the way he wants it. We don’t have to discuss his talent. This is indisputable. Since many years he has been one of those with the highest ground speed and also one of those who could cope with any car, regardless whether the setup did fit or not. This is the proof that he actually can adjust to things. Apparently this year the car doesn’t give him what he needs in order to feel comfortable. The regulations didn’t give the drivers a lot more options, but it has taken many from him. For engineers, the new formula is great.
the rest is too much to translate.. But it does sound similar to Kimi's problems. Seb also says that he doesn't feel the car, that driving is about trust and that you should have a feeling when to brake, when to turn in.. and this was missing. especially he had problems with brakes, since they are now controlled by electronics and it doesn't feel natural anymore. He said they worked a lot on the brakes to improve. Kimi said that brake by wire isn't a problem but I guess just that different feeling played a part
Seb In Germany Seb is making an advertising for tyres. And they dressed him up and he tell the people, their car is okay but there is a mysterious "squeaking", when he drive with the car More in the video

Horner should stop talking about Seb.. why does he have to bring that up again? Seb mentioned that himself in an interview last year but later said that it was taken out of context and it wasn't that dramatic as it sounded. sure he wasn't happy but I don't think he seriously thought about retirement
