Pretty good race, for that track. I do like the changes they made, but there's just no places to overtake. I won't add my thoughts for individual performances just yet, to avoid spoiling it for some!

Sebastian Buemi unusual crash during China GP practice.
Indian GP joins the party. 20 GP in 2011. The more the merrier.

Qualifying was good, although the Maclarens dropped off the pace a touch in Q3.
I quite like the circuit design for Shanghai, nice long straight but also plenty of twisty bits.
Buemi's crash was completely bizarre, saw it on Friday. His suspension just sheared off and his front wheels went flying!
Hopefully nothing like that happens in the race. Only other mechanical problems seem to be a Maclaren gearbox issue.

Bump.

This season is promising.

Aaaaand Sebastian Vettel won the F1 race for 4th time in a row. Dude's unstoppable.

Also this means GT5 probably going to give us something for SV victory. Maybe a new car DLC?

And he's still young. He will probably beat Schumacher's records.

Shit, they're still doing that?! Haven't followed the scene since right around the time they introduced that change, but I was sure this couldn't possibly stand for more than a season! Simply dreadful!

if they introduced refueling , red bull would be the one to gain most advantage , We all know how good their fueling system is

What the hell?! 25k euro for a donut ? I can't stand the FIA.

NO FUN ALLOWED!

Those officials are too busy to make the event "classy" but they forget that it's also need to be "fun."

Tbh I think I'm going back watching World Rally. They are much more fun (and the fans are a bit nut, but hey!)

I've really lost interest in F1 in the past few years, especially when pay drivers took over most of the seats. While the racing in F1 will probably never be the most exciting in the world, mainly because of the differences between the cars, it was still nice to see talented drivers emerging from lowly teams, like Alonso and Webber did at Minardi many years ago. And now it's looking like Nico Hulkenberg (one of the best young talents in F1 right now) will be out of a seat in favor of one pay driver or another. It's just disgusting.

I'm another who's lost interest in F1. I appreciate the talent that Seb Vettel has but it doesn't make exciting viewing. Instead, I prefer Moto GP including Moto 2 and 3. Btw, is this the longest a thread's been bumped?

Not happy to see Seb win, but I think this year he deserved it. He actually had to do some passing this time... and the mid-field action was spectacular this year!

Next year there will be radical changes to the cars. Maybe Newey will miss a step. Ok, that's just ridiculous... sorry I said it. :)
