2011 Formula One Korean Grand Prix

[Scott Webber]

Driver's are paid to Race and represent the team 100% , going to media events, team events etc, it's entirely upto the driver whether they want to take of their helmet and smile/greet fans or not, when they don't you know they are either pissed or keeping their cool and totally focusing on the race ahead.

Hamilton done a great job being on pole, especially after the last 4 races we're his luck hasn't been there involving Massa and other mistakes, i would do exactly the same if i was him, the pressure is on abit, his mind isn't 100% there as he is sorting some issues out in his head, he's keeping cool as he isn't out of the fire just yet. *(points to gain and all tommorow)

 

[Scott Webber]

And the Korean Grand Prix is now underway!

Sebastian Vettel takes the lead

 

[Scott Webber]

Big crash with Vitaly and M Schumacher

 

[Steve Sachse]

Man, Schumi can't catch a break these days. Petrov, bah!

 

[Michael Brown]

Hamilton was off to a nice start, but Vettel got by and cruised away.

As for the Petrov-Schumacher incident, it simply looks to me like Petrov braked way too late. He was probably distracted with passing the Ferrari, and missed his braking reference. Still don't know why he tried to charge up the inside like he was expecting Schumi to yield. Looked avoidable to me.

Not only did Massa outqualify Alonso, he's also 4 tenths faster than him. Nice Battle between Hamilton and Webber.

 

[Scott Webber]

Alonso said on Team Radio he gives up... either to do with fuel was running very low on the last few laps or he knew he couldn't get by

and that's it form me folks, what a great race and congratulations to the top 3, they deserved it on this hard track, im off, need to warm up for my 100% Race at Melbourne, adios.

 

[Michael Brown]

Great defending by Lewis Hamilton, nothing controversial about that at all

Consistante driving from Vettel and Hamilton today but what happen to Petrov today?

 

[My993C2]

what happen to Petrov today?

He is the "Rudderless Russian" ... in reference to what Martin Brundle called him earlier in the year after the Malaysian Grand Prix.

 

[Mario Knezevic]

It is nice to see that Hamilton takes pole but I am sure Red Bull is cooking something and it does smell good.

The Rock?

 

[Eric Parker]

Great job by Kovalainen to finish ahead of the Saubers.

 

[Omer Said]

Great job by Kovalainen to finish ahead of the Saubers.

It's more likely an awful job by Saubers!
I can't understand why they went so bad after a great first half of the season... Even Toro Rosso is catching us.

 

[Eric Parker]

True, but still... its a first by one of the "backmarker" teams.

 

[Prithvi R Shankar]

Congratulations to Seb for his win.. And its really a pain in the back side to see the Ferrari's being beaten by all the 2 drivers of RBR and McLaren.

 

[Omer Said]

Oh also why do feminists stay mute against to 'grid girl clapping corridor' ?
A totally humiliating thing to female gender imo.

 

[Péter Bártfai]

It was good to see Massa having a great run finally, bad luck with coming back behind Sutil and Buemi, before that he was closing up to Button. Anyways, I think both Ferrari drivers did the best they could with this car.

The battle between Hamilton and Webber was nice to watch Toro Rosso improved a lot, it will be interesting to see how the Force India/Sauber/Toro Rosso battle will go on 'till the end of the year.

 

[Prithvi R Shankar]

Oh yes, today the battle between Webber, Hamilton was great to watch. No mistakes from both the drivers. And I'd like to see the Force India's to outperform their rivals(Toro Rosso and Sauber) at India, otherwise it would be a real shame then..

 

[Adam Eggbeer]

Great job by Kovalainen to finish ahead of the Saubers.

Lucked into it really after Kobayashi had an extra pitstop repairing damage plus the time he lost with the damage, and Perez had tyre issues at the end and had to make an extra stop. All of that along with the safety car enabled him to do it, just like the safety car helped them finish on the lead lap at Suzuka (when they would probably of finished 2 laps down)

 

[Thomas Dougherty]

Watching Lewis Hamilton fight off Mark Webber had me on the edge of my seat the whole race. That was great racing between those two and I hope Lewis got his balls back, even though he's been down playing his drive so much.

Alguersuari has been impressing me lately, too. Jaime's been out racing and out qualifying Buemi a lot. He seems to get better at every race and surprised me when he finished above Nico Rosberg. I hope he comes back to F1 next year, he can't be finished yet.

 

[Ross Balfour]

Webber and Hamilton- battle of the year for sure; great great fight and really clean, both had the balls to go round the fast section side by side and both weren't willing to give up.. fantastic!
But my drive of the day goes to Alguesuari - awesome 7th place :thumb:
