Not606 2013 Japanese Grand Prix Race thread

Lotus have a nice lineup for next year then, a maturing and consistent Grosjean, and the fat slob Hulkenberg

 

What, the massive Vettel fanboi

 

I still hate the podium interviews.

 

*laughs*

 

So that's what we're calling it now...

 

Well there's bound to be twisted knickers involved.

 

Oh that has to be a thread title ha ha

 

Good grief... that's a pretty podium.

 

My dad and I used to be the same after every race about Senna. We called it a post mortem until it took on a gruesome irony

 

Feel sorry for Hamilton today, a couple of cm to the left and he could have been 2nd into the first corner which would have helped Grosjean
Kind of no ones fault, its always tight at the start, especially at a narrow track like Suzuka.

 

Yeah... was just one of those things. Would love to know if he could have been in the fight.

Pretty tight for Seb into turn one, I think the difference in the end was Seb getting past Romain straight away and Webber not, otherwise we couldve had a grandstand finish.

 

Bonkers.

 

Sort it out Mercedes! Making it too easy for Ferrari to keep hold of it now.

Btw would Seb collect all the money from 2nd in the WCC? That's what.... 160 odd million to himself?

 

It only seems fair.

 

Yup you can tell from Eddie and David's faces that Paul is out of Force India.

 

I thought they were going to get the girls to interview them.

 

I was thinking the same thing. There have been so many tasty titbits from EJ about next year's drives... But they're for another thread.

 

Disgusting from Red Bull to screw Webber like that. It's not like the German cry baby really needed the extra points.
