Wake me up when:
1) Vettel and RB aren't dominating another F1 season
2) His closest competitor in the championship isn't in a s**t car

We've already got the races where he struggles out of the way, now its all Vettel-land for the rest of the calendar :/

u jelly?

Wait till we get to Singapore and then we'll wish for a close race like this...Another WDC for him.

I think this race wasn't half bad. If Vettel leads with a mile, it's boring. If it's a close race, it's still boring. So I guess, fans want races without Vettel.

Also, a shame that Williams had a problem with their wheel gun. Not a memorable 600th race...

Button's right to be annoyed with the Caterhams. They were shocking at getting out the way.

Jelly? lol. I don't know if having another WDC dominated by Vettel again is your cup of tea, but excuse me if I'm not the biggest fan of it.

The race wasn't boring at all, and I would be hard-pressed to find an F1 GP thats plain boring. The championship though, the way things stand, is quite another story...

Whitmarsh says he's never seen lapped cars able to catch the pack before. Has he never watched a Grand Prix?

It wasn't common to let them catch the pack, or so the commentators say. Seems like it's a new thing...

Well, last year it was the other way around. And I know the Ferrari is c**p right now... But you just never know. The new tyres might shake things up a bit?

[donald29]

Am sure it's happened before. I remember being frustrated before.

Yea but last year everyone knew that the Ferrari was out of position leading the championship. The two poles Alonso got in Silverstone and Hockenhiem were in wet conditions, and by the beginning of the Asian fly-aways, there were stronger bets on Vettel winning the WDC, even when Alonso was leading it by a healthy margin!

I never said I wanted Alonso in particular to challenge Vettel . Kimi, Lewis, Rosberg... anyone will do, as long as its not another walk in the park for Sebastian. I mean last year was one of the most entertaining F1 seasons I've ever seen, even though my fav driver lost out in agonizing fashion.

P.S. Get Mr. Felipe out of that Ferrari ASAP. It's a sick joke he's still in that car, and it ain't funny anymore.

And give that seat to Hulkenberg!

I second that. Actually, let them switch seats. I believe Massa would do much better in a different car. Less pressure, not clearly a number two driver, etc.

I said the Ferrari, because Alonso is his closest challenger. I think the Lotus has a good chance in Hungary, so they might get to interfere with Seb's walk in the park. I'm not sure about the Mercedes anymore. I wonder if it was the temperature that caused them to lose pace. Or was it the change in tyres?

Why does the forum change the acronym for Formula One Management to F~0~M?

Raikkonen thinks the final stop was not needed. But the team wanted to play it safe.

I was a bit surprised when he pitted to be honest, he was still matching Vettel's times at that point.
