Maybe...though I think he will finish in front of Button.


Come on people, the contructor's is wrapped up. Don't bring up any false hope. The only thing that could happen is Red Bull get disqualified.

Thank you. RBR is going to win the constructor's title. I'm picking Vettel to win this one. My guess: Vettel-Button-Webber on the podium.

Is it me or does Korea look kind of unsatisfying to drive in real life?

I like sectors 1 and 3 and would love to drive them! Sector 2 im not sure about though..

If the race is as good as last years, and as unpredictable then we're in for a treat.

In terms of playing at Korea in F12011, I'd always hated playing at that track, but then I had an almighty dry race. Since then, I've enjoyed it. I think Vettel will win this weekend. No title to worry about, he can relax and should be able to perform well.
 
I quite like the track, the 2nd half is good fun.
 
DRS confirmed

Probably my favourite final corner on the calendar too. Awesome to see the drivers pushing it to the grass in quali.

Unfortunately the wall around the corner has been moved back.:(
 
Oh what the hell that was the BEST part of the entire circuit.
 
Turn 4 is awful on F1 2010 shame it doesn't cut straight through to turn 5.

Big shame about the last corner it'll lose a lot of the street circuit charm it had.

Huh,isn't the drs activation point a little late onto the straight?...

I mean,shouldn't it be right after the exit of the corner leading on to it?

The DRS zone in China was in a similar position to this and, IIRC, most of the DRS zone marked there is uphill so we could see quite a bit of overtakes there.
 
Be watching the re-run on Sunday 15:00 way too early for a Sunday when the title has been decided. :lol:

It's been positioned the way it has been to prevent overtaking with the DRS from becoming too easy.
 
Probably a factor in the position of the DRS is its effects on gear ratios too, positioning it earlier on the straight would start to benefit longer and longer ratios which don't really match the other straights or the rest of the track.

Turn 4 sucked because of F1 2010's poor low speed physics and inability to ride the inside kerb because of said poor low speed physics.

That wall was always hazardous. If a car understeered out of 16, it could hit the inside wall of 17, or if it udersteered during turn 17, it could hit the outside wall, and spread lots of debris and whatnot around there, and being a blind corner, you don't want that, surely not. Lots more could happen there, I do remember Yamamoto spinning it because of the kerb there on the exit of 16 in FP2 last year, and turning out to be quite a hazard to to others. It could be a lot worse, someone could spin it on that kerb, spread a lot of debris, and another completely unaware driver, because of the blindness, and the lack of space to escape to anyway, be the victim.The kerb was rather bumpy, but solving that wouldn't solve everything.
 
I don't really follow F1, but didn't the season just end?

No, but the Driver's Champion has been decided. Vettel can drive the remainder of the season like Jeremy Clarkson if he wants.
 
Unfortunately for him Hamilton took that job this season.

I think you mean Jame May.

He can play with the lotus guys.

Hopefully we will now have a safe pit entrance.

We already had a safe pit entrance. It was borderline, but it was safe. There were no accidents barring Petrov's self inflicted spin into the barrier.
 
No, it was blind, just because we didn't have an accident didn't mean it was safe.

Yeah i don't think many drivers will do lots of laps as tomorrow and sunday are predicted to be completaly dry :indiff:

Probably Hamilton and Massa are going to touch :lol: I am surprised Button has done so well so far even though Hamilton is a faster driver. Both Mclarens can finish ahead of Alonso in championship and Webber need to win a race before this season ends. He also din't do well this year. I think it is mainly due to tyres

The fact that Button has won more races than Hamilton (3-2), has been on the podium more often than Hamilton (6-2; including wins it is 9-4), and has more points than Hamilton (210-178) suggests that he is the faster driver.

Lewis is, though not as clearly as it used to be, in terms of pure speed, the faster driver of the lot. But he has been suffering from severe brain fade all season, we all know, which is why Button is so much further ahead in terms of wins, podiums, and points.
