I hope Ferrari can catch Red Bull, otherwise the end of the season will be pretty anti climatic.

Vettel & Webber cruising for most of the race I think.
Ferrari showed why no young driver should take the #2 seat, it'd simply wreck your career. Great to see Massa so fast and consistent though.

Another great drive by Hulk, he's had a cracking second half of the season.
Grosjean did well, no doubt the "ban him now" crowd will move on to Kamui.
I can't decide if the STRs did well in the race or had a poor qualifying (gearbox problem notwithstanding).
Perez & Di Resta a bit anonymous.
Kamui - everyone makes mistakes, but it seems he's out of Sauber and another seat will be hard to find without some bucks to back him up.
Good race for Petrov who out qualified and out raced Heikki.

I think Webber just put on Vettel's hat. Or are they all the same? It clearly had 1st on the side.

Yes he definitely tried a swifty with the wrong hat.... or he just picked it up by accident.

Cringeworthy podium q and a session again!

[McAndy]

Are the Indian and American tracks ready, or do we only have two races to go? Serious question, I haven't been tracking!

And are you really all bemoaning the end of the championship? With 100 points up for grabs and 6 points in it?

India was ready last year.

Austin is fully tarmac'd now AFAIK.

Talking to your self is the first sign of madness.

I'm disappointed that Gangnam Bloke isn't doing the podium interview.

Good to see Herbert on the BBC again.

Austin had its FIA inspection a few weeks back and all was well. It had better be I have a ticket and flights booked.

Agree entirely. This has been one of the least predictable seasons for a long time. Long may it continue.

Podium interviews.........NO, Just NO, stop it now please.

I quite like the idea and it's good for the crowd that are at the race to see and hear the drivers after the race.
