Button with a wee burst of speed. Can he get Koby? I think not.

Mine must be on time warp mode - I've given up on it. Having to watch via Sky go which is about 40 secs behind so I'm all over the place!!

So is that something the teams draw lots for at the beging of the weekend or does bernie decide who gets it?
No, I believe it's similar to the Merc system. Where the flow of the air is stalled elsewhere when DRS is open.
sorry I know it's early but I should have out a :biglaugh; after my comment.
I got that was a joke. But still reading back my reply I think I should get my self another coffee hehe

It's the same with me. I've just heard Alonso say that he's going to retire.

The typical Vettel snorefest. If he now wins the championship it will be the least deserved in history, certainly not worthy to complete the triple championships.
Least deserved? How do you compute that? Is there anything he can do that will be considered 'deserved' at any point?
Looks like fan boy bitterness.

Should have been obvious he's the best out there for a season or two now.

Had it been Button or Hamilton ~ my favourite team players ~ scampering away, would that be a "Snore-fest" for other fan boys?

Vettel is good, bluddy good. Folks should be used to it after the past two and a half seasons and even before.

All things Nippon considered, Button has a very hard choice in Japan ~ I wonder what will be the final positions for the cars currently in 3rd and 4th come race end.

Massa driving a blinder too.

You might want that, I'd rather not.

I predict Hamilton saying it was a boring race in the interview. Car wasn't good enough to push so just drove round largely on his own.

Very true. Undeserved would be if he'd been throwing tacks out onto the road behind him; what he's done is win and finish better than his peers consistently. A very good car maybe, but I doubt my mum could win in it.

Taking an example from another sport: I loved it when Wiggins won the Tour de France this year. But I wouldn't pretend it was anything other than a dull Tour, enlivened by flickers from Voeckler and Sagan but not much else.
