It will be Webber. His KERS didn't fail in the race and he had no car problems. Something has to go around aside from RBR screwing him :PFrançois wrote:Who could it be? Grosjean did stop at the end of the pit lane, but they had well enough of a gap to the next car to manage fuel consumption for the final few laps. That would suck to be disqualified for overconsumption with 35 seconds over the next car in your pocket.

The question should not be whether Vettel will win the title, but whether anyone else will actually win a race again in 2013.phil1993 wrote:Here's the race review

Massa disobeyed team orders. Cant moan at him in a way, he shouldve moved but then it makes it all the more tasty that he was overtook on track, Alonso's pace was better on track, he finishes fourth and the only time Felipe was faster than Alonso on Sunday was in the pitlane.
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix
Giedo was really lucky. Looking at this picture, I'm surprised that he wasn't hurt:

I'm impressed with your writing, Phil. That review was a treat. Keep pushing in this field, you'll go far!
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix
Thanks very much. I'm learning as I go along and trying to soak up advice. Hopefully there will be more 'on location' reports next year.
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix
Can see why Bottas was unhappy with Maldonado. And Maldonado's comments afterwards... My least favourite driver for his conduct both on and off the track. I'd rather see Lotus go under than take him on.
Interesting race. Webber spends all his time complaining he can't push, then when he's told to push he's not good enough to overtake Grosjean in time. Remind who who everyone said can't overtake, and who today spent the most laps tucked up behind the Lotus? Glad that myth has been put to bed.
Great stuff from Romain. Really looking the part now. Quick and consistent. Have to go back a fair way now to find a race where Raikkonen has been faster than Grosjean and ahead of him in the race without a small mistake, safety car, mechanical issue or team order.

Re: 2013 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix
I know that it's win that really matters, but I must say that I want to throw up on this particularly Vettel's win in Suzuka! I can't still figure out why Webber has to stop another one for medium compound? Wait, let me think.. The last time Webber pit, he has quite decent gap of around 14secs with about 8-9 laps remaining, and he is NOT lapping much slower than Vettel, in fact, they did quite the same pace!
This is one of example why I never liked Vettel! He got very few history of winning with true hard works. Many of them were done by team orders, bad lucks of other drivers, having so much better car of probably an F0 car (faster than any F1 car!) or even no one could even fight close to him! Even when he made mistakes!! Unbelievable..
This particularly GP is making me sick.. Webber should have a shot of defending on p1. And vettel should try to snatch it! With SOME EFFORTS! Nothing's for free.. Feel so sorry for Webber. I hate Red Bulls, and I hate Vettel in this race.. SOOOO MUCH!

Re: 2013 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix
I did laugh how rbr purposely screwed Webber though. Anyone who thinks this win was great is an imbecile
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix
They split the strategies to cover Grosjean. If Webber would have got past Grosjean like Vettel did, he could have won.
