Vettel and Webber swapped KERS XD

Hope Mark doesn't Webber the start

Pre race starts in about half an hour (or hour, can't remember). Nice to catch at least the beginning of it the night before! I work 7-4 every sunday and usually have to wait till after work to catch it.

My fiance and I are watching the race now...

LOL @ Vettel's cracking/stressed radio communications at the last few laps of the race.

So instead of usual Webber bad luck, he was deliberately sacrificed by means of pit strategy. Was rooting for RoGro most of the race but would have been pleased seeing Mark outdo Vettel. I guess RBR strategists had other plans. :/

I couldn't believe Mark actually pitted. The multi commands from RBR seem to be team orders so I imagine that was them saying we are keeping you in 3rd. He worked 2nd himself. Its not like he had anything to lose

really getting tired of vettel and his engineered wins, cant wait to for webber to go to porsche so i can finally get some team gear with his name on it, i refuse to wear red bull gear

LOL, Waaaaahhh! I'm Sebastian Vettel, he needs to pull over! Waaahhh!

I sure hope next year has Red Bull not showing such a big advantage. I'm tired of hearing the German National Anthem.

I'm already bummed about next year because of the change to turbo V-6 engines. V-6 engines sound like shit, unless they're spun up to above 20,000rpm, where anything sounds good.

The whole "green" thing is such bullshit. Both the drivers, and the fans want 1000hp+ v8/v10/v12 with no rpm limits, huge tires, and let the drivers and manufacturers race.

Not to go too off topic, but I hope Porsche can put up a real fight against Audi... ever since Peugeot dropped out, Le Mans has been as boring as watching Vettel win. Hopefully next year with Toyota finally getting good footing and Porsche entering the game, the 24 hours will actually be interesting to watch again. 2008 and 2011 were some of the most epic races I've seen.

And yes, that's NBCSN F1's own: Will Buxton paying tribute to MCA whilst enjoying some free time in Japan.
