Sebastian Vettel outrageously dominated the 2011 season by securing the world title several races before the end of the season.<\/p>\n
A situation that had not occurred for several years, where the title was decided in the final round.<\/p>\n
When asked about the issue by the Austrian daily Salzburger Nachrichten, Bernie Ecclestone said he hoped Vettel would not repeat his performance: “I hope not! Of course, Red Bull will always be present. But I would prefer to see a fight for the title until the end of the season. Even if the spectators care more about the tension during the races than about the championship.”<\/p>\n
Bernie places all his hopes on Australian Mark Webber, the only man who can counter Vettel if Red Bull remains dominant: \u00abI wouldn’t want Red Bull to dominate in the same way as last year, but that’s really what is likely to happen. That’s why I have high hopes for Mark Webber. This year, we’ll see situations where he can prove his talent.\u00bb<\/p>\n
As last season, Ecclestone sees four teams competing for the race victory: \u00ab I would be surprised if Mercedes doesn’t win a race this year. As for Ferrari, I can only hope that they improve significantly. Fernando Alonso is very talented, and he deserves a perfect car.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
