    Paul Hembery, Pirelli motorsport director

    “We’re bringing the same tyre nominations to Korea as we did last year, which at the time was seen as quite a bold choice because Korea has the highest lateral energy loadings of all the circuits where we use the super-soft tyre.
    In the end, we saw the super soft lasting for 10 laps or more and the soft lasting for 20 laps or more, enabling a two-stop strategy for the majority of the drivers. This year, however, all our Formula One tyres are softer apart from the super soft, which has remained the same.
    We should see another two-stop race this year, which in theory should be even faster.
    This year though, there have been some changes to the aerodynamic regulations, which have generally slowed lap times down over the course of the season. Strategy played a key role in last year’s race but there was also a safety car and some rain at the start of the weekend.
    So Korea is the sort of circuit where anything can happen, and as always the teams with the most data and the ability to adapt that information to rapidly changing circumstances will be the most successful.”

    Bando can you do the table again please :emoticon-0105-wink:

    It's clearly obvious that Seb doesn't have a chance against Lewis or Alonso this weekend, was a miracle Seb won Suzuka !

    Yeongam is yet another circuit that Vettel has previously been successful on (its a lot like Abu Dhabi), but unlike Suzuka both Hamilton and Alonso have a better record here. Hamilton's pole last year, lets not forget, was the only non-Red Bull pole of the entire year.
    but strange things are going on with the mclaren car.
    seb surely must win,but ive gone for lewis.i hope seb gets a dnf and alonso finishes no higher than 5th.

    There is no passion there, from appearance it looks boring, it should be placed in N.Korea, it would fit in there. The track is a good drive (from f1 games) though.

    He was being sarcastic hahaha.

    Does this count?

    I don't think it's that bad myself, the first sector is a typical Tilke disgrace, but the last two are pretty good. I imagine the circuit will look different as well this time, they had a lot of development planned which looked quite promising.

    You mean like a driver making a set-up error?

    Why does that not surprise me in the slightest.
