Agree with most of above....RBs dominance is ruining the sport at the mo. Canr blame them, theyre at the top of their game and can only keep up the momentum. Its upto the others to step up to the mark. Dissapointed by Mclaren this year.. They seem to have lost focus, as well as losing several big sponsors....

However, the Korean GP from 2nd place onwards was epic! Most enjoyable race for months, some great scraps with groups of 3/4/5 cars all scrapping for position....

I fought quite a battle to take a download copy of the Korea highlights with me on my work travels this week. Won't bore with detail :roll:

Anyway, suffice to say the hassle did NOT feel worth it up to lap 30-odd, and I was both bored and narked.

Then it all exploded, almost literally, and I thought the last third of the race was most entertaining. Particularly the "fire truck" (sic) trundling round to pee on Webber's car, with cars bearing down on it and nowt more than a couple of leisurely waved white flags to catch their attention, LOL. Even funnier watching Webber casually walking round the burning bull, randomly directing the marshalls at the flaming bits...

Well done The Hulk. And Hamilton now takes over from Kimi for best swearing at pit crew!

Easier to believe after watching Japan Qualifying as Suzuka is a track where such a system wouldn't have such an impact and consequently the whole grid is much much tighter.

As good as he may be to finish 32 secs ahead after 15 laps really does demonstrate that they have a significant technical advantage jut everyone thought it was down to better aerodynamics on the RB9.

Raises an interesting point though, should F1 have a rule that teams disclose the full and complete technical specs of their cars at the end of every season to help curb the potential dominance of one team.

This rumour has been gaining momentum for a while. The fact Vettel had corner exit oversteer today (eg. Spoon in Q3) when KERS had failed possibly lends some credence to it.

Yawn, RB 1-2, could this be anymore predictable?
Only Grosjean in the mix added any interest....

Good to see him leading for so long though, bodes good for next year.

Reckon Webber's three stopper cost him the win.
