It's unfortunate, but everyone knows that barring a 23-car crash not affecting Kobayashi he cannot hope to beat any of the Red Bulls, McLarens, or Ferrais. I'm actually slightly afraid that all this pressure is getting to him and he will crash due to being over-aggressive, or maybe just wear out 6 pairs of tires due to "enthusiastic" driving. I have high hopes for Button. He has really impressed me this season and he seems very comfortable this weekend. I will not be able to watch it live, but when I get a chance to watch it I hope to see a close race with Button edging it out. I also feel a bit sorry for Lewis and his bad luck in this season (some of which may be his own fault) so I hope he can score well too, but honestly I don't have high hopes. Lewis just didn't seem to have much fighting spirit this weekend from the interviews I heard and while that may be good for preventing accidents I doubt it will score him a podium finish despite the McLarens looking very strong. | ||

But I saw the start in the recap, and I have to say that Vettel's starting move was awfully .... close. Later I saw them prepping for the ceremony, Button said "Didn;t you see me? I was on the grass..." Surely that conversation would have gone differently if Vettel would have won I noticed Hamilton and Massa came together once again, but I won't comment on it since all I saw was an onboard view while I was walking past the TV. But the thing that really surprises me at the moment is that both Lotus managed to stay within the leader's lap ... anyone notice that? I repeat: Both Lotus were not lapped. Average race speed: 1. Button 202.972 km/h [...] 17. Barrichello 200.248 km/h 18. Kovalainen 199.756 km/h 19. Trulli 199.456 km/h 20. Glock 193.613 km/h (!!) | ||

As for that conversation you mentioned Zere, I thought Buttons follow-up comment was better "so thats how we are racing from now eh?" after he brushed off the initial comment. Fireworks inc? Another point, Briatore has come out and said that Vettel would only come third if everyone had equal equipment, I have to agree with him on that. | ||

The BBC brought up a point I found quite interesting regarding Red Bull Technologies, a "company" outside of the F1 team situated next to Red Bull to flout the RRA (resource restriction agreement). Now to me, I cant see why McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes adhere to it if Red Bull are acting so underhanded. Especially since those three teams I mentioned could dwarf the RB budget if they chose to.

Mokpo (traditionally the poorest area in Korea) has seen a lot of expansion in the last 15 years or so with the building of the newtown area around Hadang and the shifting of the economic centre to this area from the original downtown creating plenty of housing to choose from within Mokpo. It just makes no sense to build a new city down in Yeongam right next to the track because for 51 weeks of the year it’s a boggy marsh in the middle of no where. It's still about a 25 minute bus ride from Mokpo and most people will decide their much better of living in Mokpo since there’s plenty of new housing there already. I hope despite this motorsport can grow in this country and become popular and the circuit can be in regular use through out the season. Otherwise we are always gonna be left with a pretty disappointing track that’s only used once a year in a marsh in the middle of no where. Also congratulations Hamilton on finally getting a pole position. | ||

Edit: Just seen the Alonso interview, that was classic "So Fernando how did the wing work for you because you had the new one and Felipe didnt yet he is in front of you?" .......... (looks at her like "you little bitch") | ||

Its so far away from Seoul or any major city except maybe Gwangju its gonna struggle to pull in the fans. Not to mention very expensive for your average Korean. When they where building the thing they where talking about how it was gonna become the centre of motorsports in Korea and a city was gonna develop around it and within it so eventually it would basically be a city circuit. However I think its just starting to dawn on Korean that their about to hit a huge housing market collapse as they have been building brand new tower blocks and brand new cities at ridiculous speeds for years now and they actually have a completely static maybe even slightly shrinking population most of this new development is just not needed and not gonna be bought or filled.
