Which really means nothing. Hit me up in 4 years of Daniel scoring more points than Seb.

Don't forget what Seb did with bad cars. Daniel didn't match that.

Either Seb is in a slump, or his car just isn't as good as Daniels.

Personally I think he's in a slump. I doubt, other than some mechanical failure, that either RBR car is better than the other.

The great whining in recent years has been that Seb had the better car than Webber. If so, you wouldn't expect Seb to have the worse car.

Those that said they were unequal last few years cannot now say they are equal. Doesn't work that way.

So I still stand by that the cars are equal. I think Seb is in a slump. It was bound to happen at some point.

Lets see how he handles it.

This NBC Sports stream is pretty neat with all the different PIP options.

Vettel really isn't getting the same mileage out of the tires is he? He's quick when fresh but drops quickly.

Being on a 3 stop it shouldn't matter but it does because he's burning them up way too fast.

Lewis is long gone. A cool track is ideal for the Mercedes.

That was pretty funny.

Been enjoying watching even though it doesn't seem like it's been the most exciting race.

Bummer that most of the other ones are at like 5am live.

My favorite part of this race is going to be Vettel throwing his hand out of the car in a display of completely childish impotent rage and yelling because he got passed by a Caterham

"Are you kidding me? Im getting passed by a CATERHAM!?! IM SEBASTIAN VETTEL!!! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PASS ME!!!!"

Pretty crazy the RBR can't even get close to Mercedes with DRS open. That's major design flaw somewhere. The RBR needs some serious upgrades.

yeah this quick 3 min video hasnt been posted here yet but heres the full run-down on the new mercedes turbo layout. It doesnt just make more power but has a trickledown effect that completely changes the balance and shape/aerodynamics of the entire car. Its definitely not a flaw with the RBR (or any other) car, Mercedes just pulled out a game changing trump card that no other team right now has an answer to and might not be able to fully catch up to this season without a fundamental rework of their entire 2014 chassis/engine.

So who's going to take the championship: Lewis or Nico?
