what a race by Hulkenberg! Surely the driver of the day. He was the whole race under pressure by the much faster cars behind but didn't make a single mistake.

Vettel can get his 4th title in Japan if he wins and Alonso gets 9th at the very most.

I think that's a nominee for Drive of the Year. Others that come to mind are:

- Raikkonen in Melbourne
- Alonso in Shanghai
- Di Resta in Bahrain
- Alonso in Barcelona
- Rosberg in Monaco
- Vettel in Singapore

I want to agree but he needs to put more performances like it. He has his specialist tracks, but he needs to really rag the car like that every race.

I just realized this continues the trend of Romain only finishing third when Kimi finishes second.

In fact, in all three races this season in which Grosjean finished on the podium, it was a Vettel-Raikkonen-Grosjean podium.

There's a 'FAIL' button on the steering wheel for selecting. They can disable sensors, warning about overheating, etc.

Did Romain let Kimi go? I mean, it was too easy?

No, as he moved twice to keep Kimi behind.

But what was with the thought it would be team orders thing with Rogro? Thats why he didn't fight back and the team had to keep telling him. Confusing situation.

Nope, Gro said he made a mistake during the podium interview.
Bouliier not happy, saying Gro made mistake then another...
