After 12 years do we really need 'spoilers' in the topic title?

No

I wonder if they have done any clearing up from last years race.

At least they won't have to bother after this year

[woof]

The super typhoon that might make it to South Korea on Sunday should make it interesting! Wouldn't be surprised if the race is binned off.

Yeah Rob I'd spotted this also, Weather Underground has the track a little more west towards China. The race is due off at 3pm local time on Sunday so the storm could come into play.

Yeah you're right, looks like the latest forecasts have it swinging west and slowing now. I only noticed because I'm suppose to be flying into Seoul on Sunday

Could be a bumpy landing! Have a good trip

[RobGT81]

Typhoon looking a lot better! China is going to get battered.

Ruffus, looks like your original forecast was much closer!

Korea... meh. I'm all up for F1 exploring new markets but this race is almost comical.

I don't care if Vettel wins again, but please let's see a race of it!

I read on twitter they have changed the pit exit so its outside on the exit of turn 2, therefore off-line. They think it will mean the cars in the pit exit will be going quicker then those on the racing line.

So Bianchi has re-signed with Marussia for 2014. Was hoping he'd have at least got an offer somewhere else?

He started the season strongly but has flatlined since. Not helped by the Marussia appearing to have fallen behind Caterham and Chilton upping his game.

Yeah looks that way this morning Rob. Pity its not the Shanghai GP this weekend. Unless there is a dramatic change in the next 36 hours I can't see this affecting Yeongam at all. Famous last words...

Sad comment on Korean race that more than half the 2page thread is about the lack of a typhoon to spice things up...

Where's Bernies sprinklers when you need them? :-)

[El Guapo]

It's difficult to imagine anyone beating Vettel, the fight will be for 2nd.
Remaining podium places - perm any 2 from Alonso, Kimi, Webber, Hamilton & maybe Grosjean.
