Tyres, tyres, tyres. - check
Red Bull sabotaging Webbers race so Vettel could win - check
Vettel wins - check
Vettel being an obnoxious tit over the radio after he won - check
Hamilton getting more bad luck - check
Boring DRS overtakes ruining potentially good fights - check

My disillusionment with F1 was epitomized by when Coulthard commented "what more proof do you need that Vettel is a racer" after he overtook Grosjean with drs on the start/finish straight. " A lot more than pressing a go faster button on a long straight you *****" I shouted at the tv.

I laughed at that as well. Both Coulthard and Brundle say it at any opportunity.

Meh, had it on FF after the second round of stops, This year has been very poor imo. Looking like I will be at Silverstone next year so I'm really hoping things are shaken up with the reg changes. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

Apart from the fact his DRS was closed for the overtake??

Pass was done and dusted before DRS.

If it was vimto would never have used his drs

But anyway another crap race and not many more now.

So you think Grosjean was going to go round the outside at turn 1 and stay ahead? LOL

Someone above said Grosjean is a potential WC? Someone actually thinks that?

With a MASSIVE car advantage yes, otherwise I'm lolling all the way to India. Max Chilton is also a potential WC too then

No doubt RG has improved, but come on. He's had a few good races, mostly since KR decided to stop bothering and Lotus started bigging him up.

From that, to me, the pass looks already complete.

Now proven it wasn't vimto needed his drs(fake overtaking) to make sure because the pass wasn't complete.

I wish people not bothering to watch F1 transfered into them also not bothering to post continuously about it.

Wish all you want, I will continue to post as I wish.

well with the race done and dusted and only 370 posts in the thread I think you are very much getting your wish skeeter

Not even bothered about missing the races any more. The RB is just to fast and the inevitable result will always happen most likely. Also the tires are just killing the competition, how is it racing when u cant push any more and have to look after the tires? F1 is becoming a joke and DRS is just a fake over take that the FAI put there out of lazyness to fix the actual problem of cars having to much downforce which makes it much harder for a car behind to pass even if he is faster.

im really looking forward to these last few races myself. I think the last two have been pretty good

but i am biased

KiNgPiN83 · 13 Oct 2013 at 13:40

I wish they had tyres that the drivers can go all out on lap after lap. They've apparently said it themselves that they have to nurse them too much... I'm not asking for a tyre that would do the whole race, just a solid 25 laps of actual racing. Or is that just me?

Duke · 13 Oct 2013 at 13:53

They would still be fuel saving.

KiNgPiN83 · 13 Oct 2013 at 14:07

Hopefully the changes next year will make it closer? It just feels there are too many variables right now. Saying that I cannot wait to go to silverstone next year.
