why does suddenly everyone speak with Japanese words, just because they are in Japan? I didn't hear them speak Korean last week.

As a Webber fan I am pretty pissed.

He is just plain terrible at passing when compared to Vettel. Vettel is able to pickup the throttle so much earlier and get the job done.

Frustrating race from my POV.

If Webber thinks he really was fucked and he thought that he could keep the pace and not pit, why didn't he just stayed out? If he moans again, that's just bad sportsmanship and he isn't the manly man he claims to be. He just isn't that good.

i wouldn't call it a vendetta, just a deliberate favourtism (to the point of obvious disrespect unto webber) for their wonderboy vettel.


You have one driver who you know can save his tyres and the other who you know can't. Up against a fast driver who can run a 2 stopper. Splitting strategies is the logical choice.

For the same reason we're all talking in english as a universal language rather than flemish or arabic.

Economic/cultural dominance of the powerful.

Why hate on Webber and question is manhood when he hasn't even said anything?

Nod to the huge fanbase, probably. No need to bother in Korea for the 4 fans that showed up.

say what you want, but they knew and we knew, that when webber was short pitted his chance at winning was over. even if he had gotten past grosjean, its obvious he was never gonna get past vettel

As Brundle just said, Going by the team radio on the pits channel I think that radio call from Seb late in the race was about the lapped Perez ahead rather than him trying to get team orders to keep Mark behind (Which he knows full well Mark would ignore anyway).
