Great racing by both Webber and Vettel.
And I have to say, what a race Kobayashi had.
Great race :D
Great driving for Red Bull :) Third place for Alonso :thumbsup:
Too bad for Massa :(
and Kobayashi :wow:
Had to watch it on the pc. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
That must have been... Fun.
Lots.
It stays the same throughout the race with just the times changing.
I think I'll do it again.
Got a massive kick out of it.
You know what?
I might just do the same for the whole of next season.
Mark Webber :whee::whee::whee:Quote:

Finally he admits to something.
He stuffed up too many times this year.Quote:

Sad thing is no matter where he finishes this year the BBC will still bum him next season.
Michael Schumacher has hinted that his car has not always been on the same performance level as team-mate Nico Rosberg's Mercedes this season.
The seven-time world champion has endured a torrid season on his return to Formula One racing and has been consistently out-qualified and out-raced by the younger Rosberg.
And although Schumacher managed his best result of the season with a sixth place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix, he indicated that there have been more problems with his car than with Rosberg's.
"The car worked great this time," Schumacher told German television channel RTL. "Unfortunately, I cannot say it has been that way at all the races.
"There have often been problems, especially on my car, in terms of the consistency, that were not always noticed from the outside. You only saw that I was slower. Both cars have not always been the same."
Mercedes' Norbert Haug did not disagree with Schumacher's claims.
"I cannot disagree with Michael. As far as the car is concerned, he is right," Haug told Bild newspaper.
The Korean Grand Prix will go ahead on 24 October as scheduled after Formula 1 officials gave their approval on Tuesday following a track inspection.

Whoop Whoop.
Gonna be cool.
Have you seen the track.
Not only have I seen it, I've raced it.
It's a good track.
Ugghhhh............:glare:Quote:

Yeah there's a pretty long one after the pit straight.
Sorry I meant two.
Not too :blush:
They will crush you like grape.
Brazilian driver Felipe Massa says he feels reassured about his position at Ferrari following recent words of support from the team's president Luca di Montezemolo. Massa is currently sixth in the drivers' championship and crashed out of last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, but he has now received the backing of both Di Montezemolo and Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali.
Nick Heidfeld admits the F1 drivers could struggle in Friday's practices in Korea due to the slippery nature of newly-laid asphalt.
The new South Korean circuit was given the green light earlier this week after FIA race director Charlie Whiting conducted a two-day inspection of the track.
But despite getting the go-ahead there are a few concerns about the track as the final layer of asphalt was only laid a few days before the inspection.
"From a driver's perspective the most important thing is that the tarmac lasts," said Sauber's Heidfeld.
"If the final layer is laid a short time before, it is generally understood it can be oily which, of course, would be extremely problematic.
"But I can only give any informed information about the quality and lay-out of the track once I have driven there."
And he's not the only driver who has a few concerns about the track.
"It will be an exciting challenge to race at the new Korean circuit," said Merc GP's Nico Rosberg.
"It looks great from the pictures that we have seen and I hope that the asphalt holds up as it has only been put down very recently."
Kubica seems to back up Heidfeld's comments...
Renault's Robert Kubica is expecting an "unpredictable" weekend at the inaugural Korean Grand Prix, adding that "a lot depends on the grip level" of the untested circuit. (Renault F1 team)
Should be a good weekend then.
I can't wait.
Lots of crashes me thinks
I want to see how they will cope around that high speed turn...
Attachment 37705
If they take it like you have to in the game with the little amount of grip they say they'll be having I'm expecting a few spins or crashes.
How fast do they go through there?
I was doing about 160-170mph, in my Lotus.
Goodness Gracious...
Ah now I have to...
Great Balls Of Fire
:laugh:
If there aren't any incidents going into the turn there will be in the breaking for the next one I'm guessing, if it's as bad as they say it is.
The better cars will probably be able to get through it with no problems, the new boys will probably be the ones who'll struggle.
That is one helluva straight...
Ferrari don't have any new engines.
I know the difference between crap and mud, and I don't smell mud.
Add that to the fact they're going to lose a lot of time in the pits, because it's a long one.
Alonso is going to have to be on his game to keep up his title hopes on Sunday.
Yeah but if there is anyone who can do it it's him.
Vettel is too much of a raw racer still and webber is just... well...
Webber
If Webber gets the title this year I think he should just retire.
End on a high.
