He tries too ****ing hard to win the race at the first corner, or take risks that aren't worth taking. He needs to be taught that sometimes waiting another corner, or another lap, is a better decision.

He needs to watch endless reruns of Alonso's starts. That guy starts better than anyone and seldom puts a foot wrong. There's a right way, and a wrong way, to make up positions at the start of the race.

I'm really annoyed with his post race comments. He's actually happy that he took both Ferraris out, too.
Definitely do not agree, this was a Vettel error, pure and simple, he lacked the situation awareness to note that Kimi was squeezing Verstappen, leaving him no where to go, which then led to the whole thing.

Can't say I am anything but delighted with the result for Ferrari, Vettel is one of the worst in F1 (note his penalty record), second only to Schumacher in the dirty driving league. Perhaps it is just that Ferrari has a culture of dirty deeds....infects all who enter.

Happy dance, but very sad for Verstappen and perhaps Kimi, both deserved better than being screwed up by Vettel the Ponce.
