Great battle with Kimi from Hamilton considering his car was about 2 seconds a lap slower and struggled to maintain stability even on the straights. Everyone else drives up against the astroturf and nothing happens to them 
and another comical pit stop from Mclaren.

Here's to hoping Ferrari reveal their ultra-top secret triple DRS system next weekend.
And Kimi Raikkonen goes on to win the world championship when Lotus reveals their quadruple DRS system.
Gotta give credit to Newey. After Brawn's difficulties with Double DRS and the sick realization that it would require major reworking, it seemde like everyome wrote it off... But Newey worked at it and found a simpler, more effective way to do it.
And their race pace, fantastic. Of course, we knew they'd be faster than Ferrari, and McLaren seemed to shoot themselves in the foot, again. Or perhaps someone Gangnam'd Lewis' suspension in the pits before the race.

Hopefully we'll get the good result in India. People will abandon F1 again if Bieber wins 3rd championship in a row.

Thought this was a better race than Suzuka last sunday! it was Vettel all the way but there was some great battles further down the field, mostly involving Hamilton and Grosjean, constructer wise its Redbull's to lose as they have get a big lead over Ferrari and Mclaren..
..the drivers title is far from over though!..anything can happen in the next four races!..
..my drivers of the day are Vettel and Massa and loser has got to go to Hamilton!

Hamilton says he had a rear suspension failure in the second stint so he must have drove well to get 10th when you consider he had a pit stop problem and a carpet stuck on his car.

Same. Despite the Vettel dominance, Japan was a very good race. Watching Button close on Kobayashi was nail-biting. This race by comparison was very boring. Had Massa been released by Alonso, or if Raikkonen's Lotus was faster than the Ferrari, things would have gotten a lot more interesting.

So, overall, do you guys think Vettel will win the championship? After this race, he'll just repeat the performance at India if nothing goes wrong for him, so do any of you believe, realistically, that Alonso has a chance of winning the championship?
I believe that he has a small chance of doing it, but Vettel will win it most likely. I'll even go out on a limb and say congratulations on the WDC, Vettel.

Realistically, only Alonso has the points and only Lewis has the pace. It's going to take a very long shot for anyone to beat Vettel. Red Bull has the best car and the best development team. Race after race, Newey seems to pull another rabbit put of his hat... That RBR was on the edge of tire destruction, and it atill won.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!!! Vettel wins again! The championship his his!
I'll have to admit though. The last ten laps or so took about a decade off my lifespan. I was sweating that one!
And the Vettel haters are music to my ears.

He's been in a car that will probably win the constructors for the 3rd consecutive year, Newey is starting to wind me up now
I think they were worrying too much about the tyres going off, he had a big lead and Webber was always there as a bit of an obstacle. I keep looking at the calendar for a race where Vettel and the Red Bull won't dominate.

I'd like to know what clutch settings Webber and Vettel were told to use.Pretty sure that would explain where Webber 'lost' the lead.
Still, props to Vettel for doing what he does best.

I guess it had a couple of amusing battles, but overall it was pretty dull.
The result was absolutely perfect for me as a Vettel and Red Bull fan, but again, it was pretty dull...
Vettel and Red Bull currently have the momentum and it's looking great for them, but the championship is not over until it's over. There's always the possibility that the reverse of Japan happens.
What have happened to McLaren? Terrible car performance and terrible strategy. Over thirty laps on the Soft tyres? Yeah, right... Everyone saw it coming that he would have to switch to a three stop after he pitted so early for his second stop.
Toro Rosso > Mercedes. I think that's enough said.
And the BBC coverage this weekend? ... I don't even know what to say. We got a very short track guide and a lot of interviews...
I guess the issue is that we have been spoiled.
Is it because of money, time slot or both? Time will tell...
He wasn't faster. Alonso was saving his tyres. The same situation happened in Monaco.
They told Massa to back off, so that he isn't in the turbulent air.
