The OFFICIAL 2013 Formula 1 thread!

[naplesE30]

yes its over.

Constructors and Driver's for best of the rest is all thats left really, I doubt you will see any significant upgrades from here on out. Lotus may just be able to pull off 2nd lpace. That is the only thing left to look forward too other than how many more chassis weber can burn before he leaves. I imagine he gets a little happiness out of that.

Renault engines about to overtake ferrari powerplants for alltime wins yikes! Gotta think the new turbo era will only extend renaults winning.

Just a lil something I read this morning...

Yeh, read that article last week. Interesting. So much black art and engineering in Formula1. Obviously not traction control, but something trick going on nonetheless.

I still think Sebastian is underrated and not just the jockey in the fastest car. He's smooth, consistent, great race pace fast, and actually has a personality(whether you like it or not). Unlike that cry ass Lewis who when he's not taking selfies of himself in the paddock, he's blaming his car, his tires, his visor, his lack of traction and his teams lack of solutions for him to get around a Sauber. I'm not that big of a fan of his anymore.

Alonso and Kimi on the other hand. Love them. Can't wait for next season. And if Alonso, or his car, didn't let him down so much on Saturday, he could have a chance against Seb on Sundays. I do, however, love watching Alonso's aggressive starts.

Other F1 sites I visit every race week and in between to stay in the loop. I keep them up on my browser 24/7. About as comprehensive as you can get.

Maria De Villota (Ex-Marussia test driver who was involved in the strange straight line test accident) found dead from natural causes... Very sad. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24487701

Did vettel seriously say its not fair over the radio about traffic not getting out of his way?

What a bitch. Helluva driver, but a huge vagina.

Webber got screwed on that one. RG drove a very solid race.

Did you also hear him radio "keep him away from me!" When webber first started his attack?

I wonder how much of it is seb being a vagina, and how much of is it the tv programmers making "reality tv"

Horners explanation/spin tells a different story than how it looked on TV (in my view at least).

Horner also clarified that Vettel's radio call to Red Bull to "keep him away from me" was in reference to the McLaren of Sergio Perez who the German was coming up to lap, rather than the oncoming Webber.

"Sebastian came on the radio and said get Perez out the way because he was coming up to lap him," the Red Bull chief confirmed.

"Perez was running at a reasonable pace and Sebastian knew that sitting behind a car, and he'd done a lap behind Perez, was going to damage those tyres. So he said to Charlie 'come on this isn't fair, he's been there for over a lap' and Perez immediately pulled out of the way and he came back on [the radio] and said 'thank you very much.'"

[Hick]

I have noticed the sum number of posts in this thread are proportionally inverse to Vettels success.

[Eric]

So the more he wins, the less we care?

pretty much especially when these were the odds in vegas this past week for suzuka... -300 for vettel dafuq? seriously can someone explain that?

[thatphysicsguy]

damn what does that even mean in terms of odds I wonder?

It would be cool if they had a guess the grid and you get money based on how close your grid and podium predictions are.

After this year India is off the list think it will ever come back or it's more dead than Watkins Glen?

I agree 100%. I'm becoming less of a Vettel fan, for pretty much the same reason I stopped following the WRC. Sebastian (must be the name) Loeb was winning EVERY FUCKING STAGE, and there wasn't really much else to watch. That isn't to say I'm not following F1 anymore, far from it. But I'm finding myself watching the races to watch the rest of the pack. I can't WAIT to see what Ferrari does next year, but I'm also really anxious to see what Ricciardo and Vettel can pull off next year.

Oh yeah, and bollocks to Lewis Hamilton. The most crybaby diva of a little weenie that ever entered the sport.
