The F1 circus has already moved into town. It's another early start, with quali having already taken place this morning.
The sharp end of tomorrow's grid is: 1. The Golden Boy 2. Crumpie's mate 3. The Spanish Flapperjack 4. Hammy Hamster 5 & 6. Non-contenders 7. The mighty Button
Starting to look desperate for the McLaren boys, the pace just isn't there. Hammy Hamster must now be rueing those couple of impetuous moments.
Red Bull holds all the aces at the moment. Crumpie's Mate needs to be the Golden Boy in one out of three races, if the remaining races are Red Bulls 1-2s.
I will miss the race tomorrow and won't be in until the evening.

Well, what a farce that was! Not quite sure why they restarted the race under the safety car rather than wait another ten minutes for the rain to stop - which was forecast. I guess they were worried about getting it finished before it got dark, and it was indeed very dark by the time they crossed the line. I doubt they'd have got even another lap in.
Got to feel sorry for Webber he made a simple mistake and paid a huge price. Full marks to him for holding his hands up and not blaming the conditions! His only consolation will have been seeing Vettel's pistons all over the shiny new tarmac ;D ;D
Not surprised to see Schumi up there in the running - he loves conditions like that. Was very surprised at Button though - he normally thrives in the wet too. He wasn't a happy hector at the end of the race!
I sincerely hope that they sort some of the basics out in South Korea before next year's GP comes around. They must find a way to get cars off the track quicker - and I think they should be looking at those concrete barriers again. Rosberg only came a cropper because Webber bounced back onto the track. Hopefully the surface will get better as they have more races on it - so let's hope that they've got a full racing calendar over the next twelve months!
It pains me to say it, but you have to give props to Alonso - it was a great drive, but please, please, let anyone win the title but him.

Munners, I'm start to edge to prefer to see Alonso winning it than a Red Bull driver. Red Bull just don't deserve to win, after a catalogue of errors. Having said that, I like Mark Webber - he comes across as a good bloke. And he likes speedway, which is a big plus. Actually the driver I really don't want to win it is the Golden Boy. He was unlucky this weekend, but otherwise he's made some shocking mistakes this year, not befitting of a World Champion. If Vettel won it, it would all be down to speed. Rather than intelligence or skill, which drivers such as Alonso & Button possess.

They must find a way to get cars off the track quicker - and I think they should be looking at those concrete barriers again. It was all put together in rather a hurry, which is a bit unusual for the Koreans who are normally top-notch at organising things. I did find it a bit surprising at the lack of run-off areas on a brand new circuit, but it seems part of it will effectively be a street circuit when the developer gets around to building a marina complex on one side of the track. It has the prospect of being an interesting circuit, but the GP didn't seem to be have a lot of atmosphere. The race itself was farcical, and whilst it was always going to be difficult in the conditions, what's the point in trundling around behind the safety car for several laps off the start?
