Shall we just skip straight to a bit of bickering, claim its all the car, wish some DNF's on Vettel, moan some more and reconvene here in a weeks time before Suzuka?

Also, it appears there is rain and stuff idk. Some jolly little typhoon making its way around the area.





Of course this will not happen and it will be sunny.

minimalism again

Who actually bothers to read first posts? I can now sleep knowing that its a lateral grip track. Thank you.

this race isn't that bad.

I'd much prefer a weekend with F1 in Korea than a weekend without F1.

Typhoon changing its course. Bernie must have updated his RegnenDispersionsmaschine2000™.

First free practices since Shanghai that I'll skip. Suzuka, however, I might watch.

thought the machine was called RainKiller 3000 and it was conceived by Max Mosley in 2004

anyway, it'll work fine this weekend

Good news that the typhoon changed its path.

I mean a bit rain would be nice but a Typhoon is not what I want on a raceweekend

Were is Donald Sutherland when you need him?

Pitlane exit seems to be very bumpy.

Even though the walls are close in several places here, I can't recall any car actually hitting them, apart from Webber in 2010.

Kimi hard in the wall at the last turn

Action aplenty this session.

Kimi and Gonzalez have disproved that this session haha

I forgot about Petrov as well.

typhoon has moved direction, and it will be a dry race on sunday!

btw, anyone here that can upload a vid of Kimi's crash?

So a random replay of Pic spinning comes up

Hmph, looks like Kimi's crash wasn't caught by track cameras. Sometimes I think we're living in the 1980's.
