The race lasted about 8-9 corners, after that it was over and so so dull. zzzzZZ

also, whoever voted this 'race' as 10/10 needs to watch some races from the 60s,70s,80s and see what 'racing' is.

Worst Driver- Vergne and Kobayashi didn't do much.
Best Pass- Hard to judge, as most were with DRS on the straight. Alonso/Hamilton/Button at the start was great driving
Best Moment- That 3 second steering wheel change for Hamilton. Wow!
DRS/Tyres. Tyres fine, if a little on the conservative side but DRS down back straight too easy at times
In a line: Alonso keeps plugging away but Vettel seemingly on an unstoppable charge to a 3rd straight crown
6/10

In a sentence - The whole track was filed with more smoke than a bushfire, and it looked awful. Can we just give AD, China, India, Korea, Bahrain one spot on the calender and alternate? They all look the ****ing same

Best Driver: Vettel for just a perfect weekend. One cannot ask for me.
Race: Sebastian had Alonso on the leash, which was actually quite enjoyable. Overall, races seems to be all the same these days. Rewriting regulations will need a lot of work.

thankfully it finished early enough as to allow the rest of the day to be more constructive
good win for VET though, no problems....

I think Alonso's drive bumped it up from a possible 5 or 6, though.
This really isn't the track's fault. Blame Red Bull for being so dominant if you're gonna point fingers somewhere. It was obviously possible to pass.Barcelona or Magny-Cours used to be boring, but this race was as close to watching paint dry as you can get

Barely. Everyone seemed to need DRS to do anything, and Kimi was jammed up behind Massa all race with no real passing spots. India is significantly worse than Korea.
These new tracks are apparently designed for "passing" but offer up fewer true non-DRS passing spots than Spa or even Barcelona. Compared to today, the Spanish GP was an 11/10. I fail to se why they need to be so **** if that shitness doesn't create passing like they told us it would.

In all honesty races have been poor ever since the summer break. I don't know what has happened, but ever since the summer entertainment wise the races went rapidly down hill.

I gave it a 6, it wasn't as bad as some people are making out. There was some drama near the front with Alonso and Hamilton both hunting down Webber.
While watching Vettel do four in a row this morning, I was wondering if Bernie is busy trying to find some way of making sure that a different driver wins each race from now on.

but I enjoyed it, mostly because of the other battles in the midfield of for the last places in the points.
BTW All one finger Vettel-shows are dull... it's a new Schumacher type of show.. superb driver in best car.. = dominating ... some 1-finger dude on P1 dominating = Dull.

Posted 28 October 2012 - 16:11
What I do mind is a race dominated by DRS (I was particularly saddened by the way Kimi lost an overtake on Massa to the DRS zone. You could argue he should have hung back and done the work work the easy way, but is that really that approach we want to see), and acres of dull run off in front of a handful of spectators through a haze of smog. I found it a strangely depressing watch.
4/10. +1 for Hamilton's steering wheel change.

Worst Driver --
Best Overtake Raikkonen on Massa - when both were trying to avoid being the first car for the DRS activator and letting each other go. I have seen drivers fight tooth and nail to go ahead, but to stay behind? This is definitely the overtake of the race!
Best Moment Again, Raikkonen and Massa fighting to yield position inspite of fighting against each other the whole race at all other times.
DRS + Tyres and
And the race in a sentence...
They need the tyres to degrade.
The compulsory two compound rule must go, at least if a car wants to driver the whole race distance with one set. I think some cars could have tried that today.

And the race in a sentence... The race for first wasn't that exciting however the races within the race were enjoyable and the result still leaves the WDC open.
