Korean Grand Prix 2012

It rained a lot in 2010 and in 2011 Vettel stormed to victory. So, what will happen in 2012?

Bonus points to anyone doing said celebration on the podium.

Won't be able to enjoy this race as much as I would like to, as I have my first HSC (Australian equivalent of A-Level) exam the following afternoon :( Thankfully though I can watch the race live as it is at 5pm :)

Who will be Grosjean's next victim? Since Maldonado isn't involved anymore with accidents for about 2-3 races, I think Gro will crash him on T3 ( over cautions in T1, he will be happy to past turn 1 and then turn 3... badaboom!!

On a serious note, I think RedBull and Vettel will blow the field again. But I hope we have a straight fight between Vettel and Alonso!

Can't watch this one live. Oh well.

I'll be surprised if anyone can trouble the Red Bulls. Lotus supposedly have a massive upgrade package but we all know they'll most likely try it once, decide it doesn't work and postpone it until december.

Romain please stay out of trouble. :pray: :pray: :pray:

i dont see how vettel cant win the championship now unless ferrari get a major upgrade to make alonso faster or vettel has a lot of bad luck allowing raikkonen and/or hamilton to catch up. Vettel will win korea unless his car breaks then hamilton

:lol: Good heavens, that was bizarre...

Have to save that video for the future (to remember, when I get old, how it was in the year 2012 :p )

And it really is in the actual Korean GP webpage :blink:

I actually don't mind the circuit, and on a game it's quite fun. But yeah, it's not great.

I loathe that circuit. The event itself isn't encouraging at all. I hope the teams don't go there and find the rubbish and left-overs still there from last year :lol:

Still 25 points like any other race though, and an important 25 points for Alonso.

The start is pretty nice here because of the very long straight after turn 2. It isn't quite an advantage to be on pole because the drivers behind get an effective slipstream and can possibly pass the leader before turn 3. Or saving Kers for the run down to turn 4 like Vettel did last year.

If Psy has anything to do with the grand prix, I expect a total sellout. These people are mad:

Both together will be a nice option. I hope championship contenders not to have problems
