    I'm a hard-die Ferrari fan (I like only Massa nowadays and I will always consider Michael as one of us - Tifosi), but I strongly believe that Webber must be the winner this year. He deserves it. Besides, Vettel (a very promising driver whose driving style I really like (a sense of Schumi's driving style :mrgreen: ) has lots of years ahead of him. He's only 23 while Mark is... 34! :shock: I'm just kidding. :D

    Should be an interesting weekend. Always excited for a new circuit.
    I dont really care who wins the championship this year-I am a jenson button fan-I just hope it comes down to the last race.
    Vettel worrys me, F1 has really been exciting the past few years without one dominant driver. He could be one of the best ever if he keeps his head on straight.
    The red bulls have really been the most consistent on the track all year-they definitely deserve the constructors championship IMHO. Great season so far.

    Not sure that is a concern, he seems pretty bonkers when he's ticked, which is often ;)

    Go Alonso!!

    a very very very very very small part of me is rooting for him.
    He has really driven well the second half of the year. (((((((((((((((team orders)))))))))))))))) :lol::lol:

    True, but it's not like he's the only one on the benefit of orders.
    As always I'll be cheering for whoever is driving the Ferrari, FA has been driving really well. If RBR has to win then I'd hope Webber wins (also rather have him beat out the McLarens if Alonso can't), and he may not get another chance to be this close.

    I have nothing against team orders per se.
    I hate it when drivers let other drivers pass. Just rubs me the wrong way. But I understand it. If I was a team owner spending those bucks you can bet Id be giving team orders.
    I will be rooting for Button. But in the end, I just want exciting races and a close championship battle to finish the season. May the best driver and team win.

    Actually, he is the only one of the top five to benefit from team orders. Red Bull and McLaren both have two drivers fighting for the title. No team orders there...yet.

    I hope the new track surface holds up this weekend.

    The only team I'll agree isn't dishing out orders is Red Bull, unless you're a conspiracy theorist (Monza).
    If you think there hasn't been orders this season in anyone else, including McLaren, you're bonkers!

    Read my post. I only mentioned Red Bull and McLaren. So team orders are responsible for that massive 3 point gap LH has over JB? Well done McLaren. :D

    I read your post, big deal.
    Save your tires Jenson, take care of your brakes, Jenson.
    Well done McLaren.

    All they teams give orders when they need to, make no mistake.

    True, but the radio message could have been better coded as well.

    Korean circuit pretty slippy!
    Recorded P2, looking forward to checking it out after work.

    they were somewhat subtle, but massa was blatant about it-anyway the FIA didnt care.

    same I will check out P2 later-should be interesting

    VERY Slippery track with a dangerous pit entrance

    should be good

    go Button (and a side root for massa to create contoversy)

    Massive improvements with each session, crazy.
    Was really hoping both of the RBRs would fail to beat Alonso's time in the last 30 seconds, grr.
    Hopefully Vettel goes off in Turn 1.
    I like the course.
  • RygarRygar Posts: 8,685
    I feel bad (a bit) for Webber, but a little reversal of luck for FA.
    Crazy race, 5 grid spot penalties for Buemi and Sutil for Brazil. Apparently Sutil had bad brakes (duh) the entire race and knew it.

    What a race-loved it-shaping up to be very exciting finishes in Brazil and Dubai. A tremendous season so far.
    Most of the other drivers managed to keep it on track-Webber was trying a bit too hard to keep up with Vettel

    One thing about Fernando, he may not be a team player, but the guy just wins and wins when the car is set up right. He has been quite impressive the second half of the season even though the red bulls have been consistently quicker. I respect that.

    They were saying he is one of the most well loved Ferrari drivers ever (within the team).
    From a fan point of view, his skill makes him easy to cheer for. But yeah, I wonder how supportive he'd be of Massa if their fortunes were reversed.
