I remember this article. They could have taken a literal dump on Vettel and it would have amounted to the same thing. The entire piece was biased, derogatory and malicious. Even calling it amateur-ish would flatter it. The headline reading "Warning! Contains Sebastian Vettel" was a clear indicator as to the quality of the writing and the agenda it was to follow.

There was a part in particular, though, that left behind a bad taste. In the aftermath of Lewis' Instagram breakdown last year, the article saw it fit to take his comments out of context in an attempt to add a, dare I say, humorous note.

Honestly, I feel like giving up on everything. Shut down completely. Why bother when the world is such a mess and people don't seem to care. I'm going to take a moment away to gather my thoughts.

Was such captioned...

Lewis Hamilton wrote on social media that he "felt like giving up on everything" in October. And then he remembered he wasn't Sebastian Vettel.

This part was later revised and the comment about Vettel was deleted from the caption.

All in all, the article was rather shameful from the BBC and it was met with outspoken criticism from fans, even from those who do not take a liking to Vettel. The bewilderment in the comments here quite nicely mirrors what a horrid read it was, as on top of its defamatory character it failed to be factually correct.

Shockingly, it wasn't even written by Andrew Benson.
