If that were true, Toyota would own multiple Constructor's Championships, lol. Toyota spent enough to award each of 350,000 American employees a $1,000 bonus yet never won a race over eight seasons.

I went to NBCSN's website because they mentioned streaming video, I thought they might have the full feed on demand online. Nope. Just spoilers and post-quali interviews. I wish they would just give Vettel the damn trophy already and just skip directly to 2014. At least I already canceled my trip to Texas for the USGP this year so I wouldn't have to sit through a disappointing and ultimately meaningless race. Championship will probably be decided by Suzuka.

Here's to 2014.

WTF is up with Red Bull and Webber???? Car catches on fire literally 30 seconds away from the finish line. Alonso had a great and ballsy race doing 36 laps on one set of tires. And Kimi.... from 13th to 3rd! I think he should stay with Reno instead of moving to Ferrari. I like the underdog stories more.

Congrats to Vettel for a spectacular race. Singapore always brings out the best in F1.

Webber to Ricciardo: "Don't get your hopes up, they won't let you finish half of the time anyway."

I lost a bit of a respect in Rosberg when he complained about having to "push it". Man up, you're racing. If you don't want to be pushing 100% of the time as a natural instinct, you don't belong in a race car. I think Merc should ditch Rosberg for Hulkenberg.

Heh... Ferrari IS an underdog lol

Good for Vettel & RBR (sans Weber)--bad for the rest of the teams/drivers & us fans.

Vettel just can't escape the boos--no matter what country he's in (other than his).

Forza Alonso--the people's champ, but unfortunately not F1s...

cfusionpm · 09-22-2013, 04:12 PM

All I can keep thinking about is the 7 points over two years that would have made him a four-time champion. And how Shumacher gifted Vettel a free championship in Brazil by letting him pass. And how RB struggled in the early 2013 season until the tire changes, after they are absolutely unstoppable. It's like the Pirelli, the FIA, the collective F1 execs, and apparently other drivers just want him to win everything.

When a car gains 8 seconds in the first five laps, something fishy is going on with that car. Wonder if they have more tricky illegal bits like they did in 2012 (which they never got penalized for). Horner and Newey are no strangers to bending and breaking the rules for an advantage... Kind of like the Bill Belichick of racing. Hopefully next year (maybe the end of this year?) it will all catch up with them... just like it did the Patriots in 2007.

THEY NEEDS TO STOP DOING THE INTERVIEWS ON THE PODIUM!!!!

I really hate booing crowds. I think respect needs to be shown, however I hope the crowds DO continue to BOO until they hold the interviews in the proper interview conference room like they used to.

I'd boo Vettel all day. Him and Newey are ruining F1. I'm probably not even going to watch Korea because it will be another pole start and 45 second lead by the end. Why even bother?

But back to the point, fans have plenty of reasons to boo. To quote a poster on another forum:

Quote:

1) The incredibly boring style of winning and dominating races
2) The malaysia event, disrespect towards Webber, and his team blatantly favouring him
3) His rather annoying/uninspiring way of celebrating
4) He lacks charisma
5) He has been winning a lot for such a long time, F1 fans want competition and excitement, and I bet even some Vettel fans get bored of him winning with such ease
