Would love to see the viewing figures for F1 as of late. It's dire.

If they ban red bull maybe the viewers might go up, or if Vettel breaks an arm maybe that might work.

MooMoo444 · 5 Oct 2013 at 16:05

Both at once sound good to me.

Singapore on the BBC 2010 – 4.49 million it's down to 3.77 million and sky has took a big hit as well 610,000 viewers at peak

And it just so happens that all the top F1 viewing figures is when Bridgestone was about

im hoping for a sneaky RG podium

Got to say banning red bull would give a really good championship next year!

Sparky · 5 Oct 2013 at 16:31

Year off would be handy.

I will watch for Di Restas delicious tears.

No doubt he will bin it again.

Depends on whether the RB higher ups believe they have peddled enough manky dentist swill on what's left of the F1 fan base yet. The problem if anything happens to vettel is that if it does then we will be annoyed for years by all 4 of his fans online filling every forum up with the usual 'if he was there' rubbish.

The other teams need to start doing a better job, because RBR are making them look like amateurs. As for tomorrow's race, it should be interesting seeing what Webber can do from 13th, and if Grosjean can go forwards in the race. I imagine Hamilton will be going for it at the start, as it's probably his only chance.

I dont blame red bull, they are doing a perfect job..doesnt mean it wouldnt be better with them out

with redbull seemingly immune to the downturn in the economy will anyone be able to outspend them?
Finance and points seem to correlate more and more as time goes on
would love to know the 2012 expenditure for each team

Sparky · 5 Oct 2013 at 18:27

Our spend is probably on a par with McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari . Implementing good ideas and getting them to work quickly can save a shedload of cash.

Leeroy Jenkins · 5 Oct 2013 at 19:56

Should just hand RB both trophies and finish the season early! Dont know who can challenge RB at the top next season.

He is on the cusp of an ultra-rare fourth consecutive world championship, but Sebastian Vettel is not the best driver in the F1 field.

That is the view of Lewis Hamilton, who said his old McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso is better than the German.

"Fernando is the strongest driver I've raced against in my life," the Briton told Germany's frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.

As for Vettel, Hamilton added: "He is not unbeatable; his car is unbeatable."

But Hamilton, the 2008 world champion who now drives for Mercedes, said Red Bull's Vettel will surely win the 2013 title.

"When I see him on Sunday before the start of the drivers' parade, I'll probably congratulate him," he said.

Do all the teams run their accounts past you?

But yeah it's not Red Bull's fault, when Ferrari dominated they took the same flak and even had the FIA trying to meddle to stop them so did Williams and McLaren it's up to the rest to raise the game and beat Red Bull.

I see so many fans thinking 2014 will change things, but I doubt it really unless the rest vastly improve.
