Should Ferrari give up on error-prone Vettel?

OPINION: After Sebastian Vettel made another mistake that led to his penalty in Canada, should Ferrari start making plans to replace him? Should bargeboards be banned? What should be Formula 1's future engine technology? Our technical expert answers your questions

He has made a lot of mistakes and I have said on a few occasions that he doesn't seem to be learning from them. But I do think Canada was a bit of an exception.

The corner where he went over the grass has a blind entry up until the inside clipping point and with a slower car in front of him he probably suffered from the loss of downforce created by that car's turbulence. If you go a metre wider than you should, you are on the dirty part of the track and suddenly on the grass, which is what happened to Vettel.
