Vettel suddenly has no idea what's happening.

Amazing stuff
If only Kimi had a faster stop he would've gained few more points on Alonso
Great race

Yeah. Did you see the guys with the DRS hats? Japan has a thing for hats, it seems.

Alonso tweeting the philosophical shit for y'all:

"@alo_oficial: 5 great races coming! If the enemy thinks in the mountains, attack by sea, if they think in the sea, attack by the mountains. #Leaders"

Webber not fucking around. Don't blame him.
"Red Bull's Mark Webber says Romain Grosjean should be prepared to run for the hills should he spark another first-lap incident on Sunday.
Webber and Grosjean will line up in seventh and eighth for Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix as the Lotus driver returns to action after a one-race ban."

Lol, huge 2 on Webber's cap. \o/
/is going to get stabbed by Shaneus
/is going to get stabbed by Shaneus
And as he spoke he was looking around, as if searching for someone. Coincidence? I think not.
There were in Takumi Sato days but after his failures and two Japanese teams calling it quits I can understand why not many are interested in F1 ventures.

Webber is like Kimi in that regard.
But likable.
Seven race incidents this year. Grosjean had better not make another fucking appearance in 2013.
Stop baiting me
Well, for his own sake I hope he's already mid-mount Fuji.

haha webber. what a loser
"And this is what I'm going to do when I next see that little shitbag"
Another baiter? Or did you not know the fact that Grosjean's been implicated in seven race incidents this year?

I think I'm going to skip the post race stuff.
It sucks on Sky anyway.

A master, it would seem!
You saw the Webber interview, yes?
Ooh, F1 2012 ad on Sky. The only thing that crashes more than Grosjean.
BTW Maybe we'll see an interview with someone from Lotus or Grosjean.

Yes, so I'd say I've seen the best part.
Yeah, that's it then
Glad Sky's using an awesome cover of Chemical Bros' Star Guitar by Shinichi Osawa. I guess that's deliberate.
But they have such pretty graphics, isn't that what matters?
The fact that she's always sideways is no accident.

I disagree, this race pretty much confirms that the championship is over. Since Singapore the championship was Vettels to lose, now it's just a little easier with Alonso retiring. The only way it would have been exciting is if Alonso was still more than a race victory in front, or if Webber got the win, because there's no way Ferrari can even come close to the Red Bull for the remainder of the season.

Bleh, race was over in the first 10 secs. Kimi sabotaging his archnemesis' championship and helping his friend Schumi 2.0 win the race
Boring race other than the Button/Koba battle at the end. Good to see Koba get a podium finish in his home country assuming this is his last season :/
4 out of the final 5 races pretty much favors RBR, so might as well congratulate the 2012 WDC/WCC winners at this point.
Wheres Omiee? hes noticeably absent so far Omiee #2
has been celebrating since the race started.

^ yes this
Alonso is unlikely to beat vettel in the last 5 races, so vettel will just keep moving further & further ahead.
Vettel will need to retire at least 1 more race to make the championship exciting for the last few races.

The championship was lost at Spa. Alonso is hoping for another DNF for Vettel now and that's all he can hope for, really.

Will have to download the race later, stopped watching halfway through, need to see Koby getting that podium make some gifs, glad something good came out of this weekend.

jokes aside. Was it Kimi's fault or a racing incident?
I have a biased opinion on that obviously. I was kinda pissed when Alonso pushed Kimi to the grass, but I think Kimi got fed up of being the "gentleman" (pushover) in these kind of encounters.
Was happy he held ground with Perez, but was extremely fair with Hamilton and backed off in the right moment

I dont really see ferrari's position as bleak as you do. If you apply the "alonso factor" to massa's race he would have had a respectable 2nd, perhaps even challenged for the win. I think the ferrari had the 2nd best pace today, the mclarens never caught massa even though they had the entire race to do it.
Going from the replay footage, it was more racing incident than anyone at "fault", really.
Also, loving these Sky post-race questions. To Button: "What do you think about the challenge from the Red Bulls?"
Button: "Um, we're still going to be challenging them?"
German Sky is way better than RTL in this regard! The Sky commentators want to see a great race, the RTL guys just want a Vettel/ Schumi/ Rosberg podium, no matter how boring the grand prix will be.

lol.. Button's comments are really fun to hear/read
Fucking Alonso, what a fucking twat!! I just read his interview!!
Seriously, I don't care what he says about Kimi, it is surely frustrating. But to say that about Massa is just ridiculous! He drove well extremely well, and his car was fast enough, clearly faster than the Saubers and McLarens.
Just when I started liking him a bit, its moments like this that underlines why he's one of the worst WDCs on the grid (in terms of personality)
