    What a **** race.

    Well done Kamui though. Hope Ferrari don't use this as an excuse to give us another year of Massa.

    this is what im worried about.do mclaren now want to focus on jenson and make sure he finishes the season on a high.
    or will they give both drivers the same backing untill the end of the season?
    if jenson all of a sudden becomes quicker than lewis in quali and the races from now on,that'll answer my question.
    but anyway,well done vettel,massa and kobi.

    To anybody that didn't like the Schumacher era, welcome to the Vettel era.

    Some people have already started calling his WDC's flukes. Seb is a boss.

    May F1 always return to Japan.

    Yeah, but for me it'll need to happen a few times to make up for the last two seasons. He does bore me.

    There is still the constructors to go for and that is worth more money than the drivers championship. So you can bet they will give both drivers backing till the end.

    Excellent job by Vettle and I am chuffed for both Massa and Kobi!

    Disappointed in JB, but Ricardo pretty much ruined his race during that pit faze. Lewis should count himself very lucky really, with Perez, Webber, Alonso and Grosjean either out or out of position after lap 1 he could have been struggling to make the points!

    The Japanese crowd are beautiful, bought a tear to my eye Kamui getting on the podium and hearing the whole circuit cheer his name, you just can't replicate true F1 passion like that.

    11/10 for the crowd at Japan, I hope 1 day to go there and soak it up.

    If McLaren do put everything behind Button now, that would be neither unexpected nor conspiracy worthy. Hamilton is out if the team next year.... He's bound to suffer from that.

    I think this was a bit of a one off, Lewis hasn't particularly gone well a Suzuka - he can be great at every track! He admitted HE went the wrong way on set up so I would think we should all hold back on the conspiracy theories!
