I assume that person is pointing at the corner where Massa will crash?

I sense another grand chelem for Vettel.

Must be the least anticipated weekend so far. I have no recollection of previous Indian GPs, except it's a Tilkedrome prototype and hazy with smog.

I watched the Drivers Press Conference earlier, Kimi summed it up well. When Kimi, Nico and Mark Webber were asked what they thought about being in India. Kimi chose not to answer at all and David Croft moved onto the next journalist.

Well, Kimi, at least your experience isn't as bad as di Resta's.

I wonder if he's off the khazi yet.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I like this track, one of the few Tilke creations that worked in my opinion, it's not bad. Of course the layout haven't converted into a funny race event yet but the layout is good, it has potential. If you don't agree, try to compare to shitty ones like Barhain, Abu Dhabi among others, it's far away from being a boring track.

The actual problem here is the damn time it occurs, no way I'm watching Vettel lead 60 laps at 3 and 4:00 am for the third consecutive year, I have better things to do instead.

Race will be on. Or never be seen again.
Choose wisely, India.

It will never be seen again anyway, so what difference will canceling it make?

The race is going to start at 06:30 here in Brazil, you are still here in Brazil, right?

I quite like this track, Its fairly fast/flowing with some good elevation change & some nice technical sections.
I also think the 2 races have been pretty good as well. Yes Vettel's dominated both but there was some good racing behind both years.


In 2011/2012 I thought the DRS worked just about right in terms of getting cars alongside into Turn 4 but not driving them clean past well before. This year the DRS zone has been made 160 meters longer so I fear we may just get a load of push of a button passes, Hope im wrong though.


James Calado will replace Paul Di Resta in FP1 as Di Resta is unwell.
