I would rather save my money for Austin. Rather watch it at a real race track and not a street circuit. I feel like if you go to New Jersey, you might as well save a little more and go to Canada too.

And looking at the schedule again, New Jersey (6/1) is in between Monaco (5/25) and Canada (6/8). That's back to back to back. I'm putting my money on New Jersey getting dumped again.

JUST BECAUSE IT WAS VETTEL?!

Insert Alonso, Hamilton, Webber, Rosberg, Etc, and all of a sudden it's a okay?
I'm not saying Vettel isn't good. What he did just wasn't exciting. If anyone else was in Vettel's position it would be the same story. Well, except maybe if it was Chilton.

Watching someone run away from the pack isn't exciting and it isn't competitive. Vettel is clearly on another level. If not for the last couple of years, at least for this Singapore Grand Prix.

Anyone seen Rush yet? I saw it tonight and thought it was very well done. Makes me miss the V12 days though.

who ever did the casting for Rush deserves an award. Also I can't remember when was the last time I watched a rated R movie in the theaters. A pity this movie will not do well at the box office. It's clearly a great time piece movie.

But seeing a human being do that, just doesn't get you excited?

To me it's like, Vettel is Adrian Peterson. He's just this machine that when everyone around him says he's nothing, he just turns around and shows ever what he's made of.

Crazy thing about all this booing is it's likely feeding and pushing him to be even faster. That's just a nasty cycle if someone is a Vettel hater.

But with peterson he had an injury and everyone said he wouldnt be as good. Everyone knows Vettel is good and that he is running the best car in the series. There really isnt much standing in his way of doing good everyweek. Peterson actually has to rush/run past other people trying to stop him. Vettle has nothing is his way.

the other constructors should just pay grosjean, maldanado, or perez to just wreck him on the first turn haha

^HAHAHAHAHA that would be good.
I mean im not saying Vettel do not try hard but i mean honestly what adversity does he really have to over come?
Ppl can boo him but i mean even if he tires harder, whats the point? his car is just so much better along with his good driving he still wins.

I dunno about that. He's so ****ing good, there is literally nothing is in way a lot of times (bar a safety here or there lol)

Vettel:

He can't pass anyone
He doesn't have a drive within him
He can't have a bad quali and do well
He can't NOT have the best car and win ('09 is perfect example. Lots of wins, not the best car)


All of these he's overcome.

Last one left is to leave Redbull and win. And that day is coming. Maybe 4-5 years from now he'll likely be somewhere else, and will STILL whoop the field.
