    After Vettel was crowned 2011 World Drivers' Champion in Suzuka we move onto the second Korean GP. Only three people correctly predicted Jenson Button for the win so congratulations to Drudeboy, Nick and Hate Worldwide:

    Last year's inaugural race was eventually won by Fernando Alonso after being delayed by the treacherous conditions, but the track appeared to suit the Red Bulls who retired from first and second. The weather is set fair for qualifying and the race this year.

    I think Button is on a high now and can challange for the win. Not sure where Vettel will stand though and also Alonso looked pretty handy in the last race so Ultimately for me it will be 1 of these 3.

    Slow punctures qualifying mess ups fast punctures and utter failures Hamilton has had his fair share this year, but for the first time this year I'm going to vote and it'll be for him... He's still going to finish behind Jenson though this year... new for him.

    McLaren look on fire at the moment and with Red Bull and Ferrari turning focus to 2012, im going for Ham over JB just because the storm has to end at some stage.

    Quick form guide here. This is points scored in the last 5 races (since Hungary). This also acts as a second half of the season table if you still want there to be some kind of battle

    1.Vettel 108
    2.Button 101
    3.Alonso 72
    4.Webber 55
    5.Hamilton 44
    6.Massa 28
    7.Shumacher 28

    Ive decided to totally ignore this and vote for Hamilton.

    I love that picture of Alonso I have got to admit. Gonna go for Lewis because there is no way the car was working as it should have been after the puncture and would have challenged with JB for the win.

    Domenicali said that the F150 in Japan was the same car as Hungary, but with the old rear suspension. McLaren and Red Bull were better than Ferrari in Hungary and both teams have updated their car since - shows how good Alonso drove in Suzuka. With this kind of form, I will vote for Alonso. It will be difficult for him to win but I think he can pull it off with a bit of luck - otherwise Vettel or Button will win.

    AG, can you update the leaderboard as well? Nick HCAFC initially voted for Hamilton but changed his mind: http://www.not606.com/showthread.ph...-Predictions?p=1424891&viewfull=1#post1424891

    hmmmm alot of people going for hamilton for this race but i just dont think his heads in a winning state at the moment i hope Lewis gets on the podium though is it true he's only been on there 4 out of 15 gp's this year . I think button will win this one his confidence and overall motivation from his previous win will elevate into korea. Good luck mclaren

    I think it is out of Button and Alonso, both driving extremely well at the moment. Voted for Button because he has got the car advantage.

    Gone for Button, he has so much confidence and I just feel Red Bull will be concentraring on next year. I would love Lewis to get a podium and Alonso. I like watching Alonso and he is my second favourite driver. :D

    Yeah, I agree... but I chose Alonso, because he is very good when he is on a late season charge. Good all round driver is Fernando Alonso ;)

    Vettel. He will test stuff for 2012 on Friday and beginning Saturday he will show us why he is WDC 2010 and 2011.

    So are we expecting one or two DRS zones. I can think of one very obvious place ;)

    Would it be too obvious though? Is it too big a straight? Surely the slipstream enough would provide some opportunities, so why not put it elsewhere to create more chances?

    Voted for Alonso, but just wondering if Webber might suddenly find some speed and fewer gremlins in his Red Bull for the last few races.
