If it wasn't for the fight in the back, this race would have been so boring. Rosberg should have taken out Vettel at the first corner to save this season.
jeez talk about kicking a guy in the nuts while hes down


on a happy note though, this got here today!

Vettel is ridiculous. His wins are so dominant that theyre boring to watch. I want to see battles for first place. No denying that hes great though. I want to see Webber get a win before he leaves at the end of this season. Hes had a lot of bad luck

Webber can win if RBR stop giving him the B Parts. It's not his luck.

Vettel was so dominant, he pulled out the time to cover a pit stop after the SC. They let him go free and he was doing lap times way faster than Alonso on older tires. I think Brundle said during the early laps that if Vettel keeps his pace up, he'll lap the whole field.

RB were afraid to put Kimi alongside Vettel.

I hope Ricciardo turns out to be a live wire and puts up a fight because Webber has been beyond dissapointing and hasn't deserved such a superior car. He has been the worst starter I have ever seen in a GP car.

If Alonso were in that car he would destroy Vettel

I just watched the race last night.
SOOOOOO BORING. I fast forwarded through most of it.
I thought this was racing? not watching vettle just drive around?
Its not even funny how much better their car has been these past few races.
This is why F1 is not my favorite form of racing.
Its by far the most advanced and what not but when a driver is able to pit and come out with an 8 second lead is just kinda stupid IMO.

The race was very exciting. It wasn't Vettle that was great, it was the 5 drivers behind him. Lots of cars working their way up the field was amazing.

Indeed. I dont even care that much if vettel is running away with the season as long as theres good racing everywhere else. Hell there was still good racing when Schumacher was running away with it, difference is back then things weren't nearly as sanitized, and the cars were not nearly as reliable. Hell just look at the WRC, even though Loeb has ran away with it for years its still fun as hell to watch!

Bottom line is, if all that makes the race exciting is who is at the top of the podium, then the racing is just boring. Thats why Im looking forward to next year, with everyone coming to grasps with all the car/engine/driver changes it just has to be more interesting. If not I guess I can just get back into WRC again haha

If you haven't made any accommodations yet, things might be a bit tricky. If you can find a decent place to stay that's less than $200 a night, I would be interested.

See Gagan's comment.

Basically everyone behind Vettel was exciting to watch.

Okay, I guess that was a bit dangerous, but come on, these are F1 drivers. They have cat like reactions and they weren't going "that" fast.
