Hes a good lad. Everyone just hates on him because he keeps winning and it's making races "boring" since everyone's pretty much battling for P2.

The booing hes had for a few of the races was uncalled for. I just hope we can see him without a totally dominant car, so we can see just how good he is.

Or have Mark Webber's car :troll:

I think the booing was a disgrace to Formula 1. It showed no consideration to Vettel who worked all his life to attain a spot in the top category of the sport and has shown true dedication and focus in his F1 Career.

That's not tire degradation. The rear tires were chewed up from the celebratory doughnuts, and the front tires are the result of picking up tire marbles to increase weigh for the after-race weigh in.

^What I meant but I wanted to try to keep it short

I'll agree Vettel is a great driver. I just loose interest watching one person dominate everyone, race after race. It's the Schumacher days all over again... and it's boring.

I still think that if you put Vettel into another car like a Sauber, he would be fast but not out front like he always is. He would be top 3. Newey definatley has a lot to do with his constant domination.

Some will say "well what about Webber, they have the same car." If you think they have the same car you need to give your head a shake. There's a reason Vettel is the "number 1" driver and Webber is number 2. What would be the point of having a number one if they both had exactly the same support and car.

I'm so proud of Mercedes, they did an amazing job and I hope McLaren does something crazy for next season

Red Bull Racing takes their Formula 1 car to the top of the Burj Al Arab for some doughnuts!

"To celebrate winning the Formula One Drivers' and Constructors' Championships for the fourth consecutive year, we ran one of our Formula One cars at one of the most recognised locations on earth. "

So with three races left in the season, Raikkonen has not been paid at all for 2013 (estimated to be around 15 million euros)! I thought Lotus was behind on their payment to Raikkonen, but not completely unpaid

It's even worse than the Schumacher days, because at least MS was a star. Vettel is just a geek who can drive. Best driver in the world, but it takes more than that for people to care about you.

Lol even though Kimi wasn't paid, he still gave it his all. Good for him.

HonestTea 11-02-2013 02:23 PM

Second chance for Webber to get his win!

Not really racist! 11-03-2013 10:33 AM

Poor Kimi as usual

lol'd so hard at the radio communication during the in lap

Rocky "Yeah, I've counted now, that's 125,000 dollars"
Horner "And by the way, you can pay that one"
Rocky "OK, Sebastian, sorry to be on your case, but to be clear, you do need to bring it home, OK, in the garage"
Vettel "Ahhh, let me quote, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, guys, I know what I'm doing"
Rocky "Yeah, I've got evidence to the contrary"

Speed2K 11-03-2013 01:25 PM

That was, for the most part, another boring race!

krazynuck 11-03-2013 02:26 PM

I did like the solar eclipse the best

I'm blown away that he finished 30+ seconds ahead of everyone else.

Pooface55 11-05-2013 12:04 PM

That car is too fast. The car is light years ahead of everybody else.

My mind is blown on how much money red bull has. I don't see too many people drinking it but they sponsor big budget events. Are they huge in europe/asia?

Noran 11-05-2013 07:51 PM

Great video by Sky Sports:

TONS of people drink it in Europe/Asia. Go to Saltzburg that city is basically sponsored by RedBull it's quite funny.

So Kimi is out of the last 2 races of the 2013 season due to injury
Quote:

Kimi Raikkonen will miss the final two rounds of 2013 in the USA and Brazil after electing to undergo back surgery, Lotus have confirmed.

The 34-year-old Finn, who will drive for Ferrari next year, has suffered with back problems throughout the latter part of this season, and was almost forced to sit out September's race in Singapore when the problem flared up.

It is believed that Raikkonen has opted to have surgery now so that his preparations for 2014 are not impacted.

Lotus will make an announcement about Raikkonen's replacement in due course. One possibility is for the team to promote third driver Davide Valsecchi. The 26-year-old Italian won last year's GP2 Series, although he has no prior F1 race experience.

Another option is for Lotus to hand reserve driver Jerome d'Ambrosio the drive. The 27-year-old Belgian has 20 Grand Prix starts to his name and was drafted into Romain Grosjean's car for last year's Italian Grand Prix after the Frenchman was handed a one-race ban.

First not getting paid and now missing last 2 races, not a good end to the season for him
