It's a nice circuit. I remember Grosjean was quite fast there last year, but compromised his race with a spin. Given his and Lotus's form at the moment, maybe he's the one who can take the fight to Vettel. Not that Vettel seems like he'd let anyone beat him at the moment. So yeah, not highly excited about this one :p It's been a long season, everyone's tired and probably not giving 100%.

Only Vettels car can stop him from win No. 12 this year.

Lewis is also getting a new chassis this weekend after Mercedes discovered large cracks in his chassis. They don't know how long they've been there but reckon it could explain Lewis's recent poor form.

I dont think the cracks could be responsible for his poor form..
In 2011 Vettel had some big crashes in practice and still won...

Foggy conditions have delayed FP1.

Fog was the initial reason, now it's the medical helicopter [or lack of].
