Sebastian Vettel has won the Korean Grand Prix for the third time in a row, ahead of Raikkonen and Grosjean. Most attention however went to Pirelli who saw another tyre blow, to Mark Webber whose car went up in smoke and to a fire truck that briefly led the race.
Well you should not call people genius in a sarcastic way when your own posts deserve that notion even more.Traction wrote:I'm not talking straight line speed genius I'm talking through the other sectors, perhaps he would have taken some more risk, more aggressive. I certainly don't believe he would have allowed Grosjean to get the better of him either. As mentioned possibly it's the tyres.

Either that or the FoM will soon find out how much it hurts when circuits cannot afford to hold races due to the low crowd numbers...The crowds at Korea were nothing short of poor...despite it being 2 hours or so from Seoul.donskar wrote:F1 has become very restful. After seeing Vettel lead by TWO seconds after the first lap, I went to bed.
When I got up I fast-forwarded through the race, seeing some good dicing far behind Vettel, but nothing of interest (by which I mean "racing") near the front. I have followed F1 fanatically for more than half a century. If I'm bored to death, how interested (or not) is the "average" viewer? I expect some Machiavellian rules changes in an attempt to slow down Red Bull.
Boom. Nice link mate.zeph wrote:I see a couple of people asserting that Grosjean is faster than Raikkonen over a single lap?
Look at the facts here:

I think we will all come to the same conclusion.
No, friend, it´s not me. It´s reality, via numbers. Stop fishing for made up ---, you are dreaming.ringo wrote:Ok, can you honestly say that Kimi is the faster driver over a lap?Rikhart wrote:
This leads me to conclude you haven´t watched any races.
I've watch the races, Kimi is better overall racer, but i've seen too many times this year when Romain is much faster and when he gets it right, he's fighting for podiums on the race leader's strategy.
It's not blasphemy to think that Romain is faster on pure pace.
The kid is learning, and he's at a stage where he's starting to give solid performances with less errors.
For the races where he does finish on the podium, i rate those performances higher than Kimi's podium finishes this year, in terms of clean and fast running, with no SC gimmicks or occurrences.
I'd go as far as to bet that he does outqualify Kimi in Suzuka and does have a better race pace. I know kimi may get lucky, but i'm placing the focus on the Romain's raw speed.
Then Vettel takes the most ignorant driver of the year award reading the idiotic comments a few posts up.foxmulder_ms wrote:Did you guys see this, Hamilton's thoughts about the race?

I will give Hamilton, "the most arrogant driver of the year" award. I like him but he is loosing it.
To bad you really should have watched it. Like an episode from the Twilight Zone.donskar wrote:F1 has become very restful. After seeing Vettel lead by TWO seconds after the first lap, I went to bed.
