    I like this kind of track much more than city tracks.

    Congrats to Vettel and Red Bull. Complete and total domination this season. Fourth championship in a row well earned.

    While I wish the red cars were at least making it interesting, it's pretty neat watching history being made. I kind of feel honored that have witnessed Schumacher and Vettel both rewrite the history books.

    I think he wanted the win for the record books, as the only driver in history to win all races in one venue....assuming India won't be back on the calendar, of course. And it's always nice to claim your 4th title with a win as well :D. But yes, no need for the drama. And talking about drama, Lotus gave us a good one.

    Guess it's official Vettel took the PR advice of no more fingers. Well, he just showed it once, probably out of custom. It was mostly fists, open hands, and a lonely finger. Oh, and no more 'boys', which was the most annoying part. But still 'yes yes', but have to give the kid a break since he just won his 4th title. Not the best moment to practice your new 'salute' :D. Very well deserved 4th title. And a humble interview as well. He finally said the obvious, which is he WAS bothered by the booing. Hope everybody enjoyed your weekend.

    Hey, I know it's chump change for either one, but who pays the $25K burnout fine? Vettel or RB? And is that really forbidden? No wonder F1 is not liked better, with no improvised celebrations (flags, burnouts, etc) of any kind allowed. That's utterly stupid. If some F1 races are boring to even die-hard fans, how do they expect to attract new fans? Geez.

    I was so tired of the whole thing, I turned off the TV completely after Vettel passed the checkered flag. Didn't even see his donuts and bowing routine, although I guess that was a cool gesture for his fans.

    I sure hope this streak changes next year.

    RB does. The fine was for ''not properly directing the car to Parc Ferme''. Ridiculous but also, chump change and no one really cares...
    You missed out. He was quite humble in the interview, on the verge of tears at times almost! He won it in style.

    Did anyone else notice the thick smog in India? Pretty disgusting if you ask me.

    The fun police strike again.

    Best thing about this race was the Krispy Kremes.

    To me this season has been boring. The season has been about tires. I'd rather go back to V-10 or V-12 and refueling. This is not fun anymore.

    I find myself reading Fchat during the races versus really paying attention these days. I hate hour and a half tire management exercises.

    Dominance by any team or driver doesn't help IMO.

    I don't disagree, but there's been something different the last couple of years. I love F1, truly love it, but since Pirelli's "cliff tires" have ruled the day, I have been less and less interested. They are racing no more.

    Dominance by a petulant kid doesn't help either.

    Yes I can go with that the tyres have been a farce, they need to sort something out with it, it got ridiculous.
