Vettel keeps rolling to #4 like a cruise missile.

Nice to have Mario in the booth today offering commentary.

The pre race showing of Will to Win- The making of Rush was incredible, i am even more excited about the upcoming film.

**hutash** · 09-08-2013, 08:33 AM

I am normally not too excited to watch how movies are made type things, but that was pretty was damn good. I am looking forward to it as well.

I wasn't terribly pressed with Mario's commentary, he really didn't have anything to add, and was not very professional or polished.

Other then the start it was not a very exciting race. The only suspense was whether Red Bull's tranny was going to let go.

Boooooooring. What an awful season. Spa and Monza are usually my two favorite races to watch but this year I couldn't make it through either one.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 09-08-2013, 05:31 PM

It was a most boring affair overall. Though trite at times Marios' voice would cause me to lift my head from working on job quotes and watch the procession for a bit. Almost missed the finish, looked up by chance.

Monza is frequently less than gripping, it's just the nature of the track. There was some good racing yesterday behind Vettel.

What an awful season

Disagree.

I was really hoping for rain, that would have made the race interesting.

The only thing boring is Vettel's and Red Bull's lock of the points. second place in both comps is still heated.

**PNWbrit** · 09-11-2013, 09:55 AM

After all that silly season nonsense... Kimi is going back to Ferrari.

At least watching the red cars will be interesting next year.

**hutash** · 09-11-2013, 10:12 AM

I liked Kimi in a Lotus seat. Who is going to fill it? Nico? It would be a great seat for him, assuming Lotus has any money.

Kimi going red will change the constructors fight quite a bit. Two great drivers in Ferrari's and an up and comer in a Red Bull???

**nfaust** · 09-11-2013, 10:38 AM

...if Alonso doesn't implode first.

This should be interesting.

Sounds like it will be Nico. But wonder if that means they'll drop Grosjean for someone with money? Like Maldonado. Would Renault/Total want to keep a french driver there? Would they pay for it?

**hutash** · 09-11-2013, 12:06 PM

True, Maldonado would bring buckets full of money.

**PNWbrit** · 09-11-2013, 12:44 PM

Although in all likely hood which engine you have in the back of the car likely to make more difference than which driver (within reason) you plug into it.

eh, somewhat. removing a solid driver from the pool of competitors definitely helps Ferrari

**Vt-Freeheel** · 09-11-2013, 07:06 PM

Best news I've heard all day. Vettels' stuffing Fred this year and Kimi isn't going to play bridesmaid next year. An implosion of epic proportions will occur next season.

About time Massa was sent packing, he has never fully come back after catching that spring.

**JoshP** · 09-11-2013, 09:23 PM

Grosjean already brings Total money to Lotus, so doubt he is going anywhere next year. Hulk is for sure in Lotus for 2014 though; lucky for him Sauber ain't payin him on time, so he will feel comfortable in the new car.

**PNWbrit** · 09-12-2013, 12:04 PM

LoutusF1 aren't at all twitter bitter about Kimi leaving.... apparently.

Who's seen "Rush"? Great fuckin' movie, well worth the price of a ticket to see it on the big screen. Well done racing scenes, not perfect, but still well done.

edit: worth it just to see the cars again. The black John Player car is as sexy as ever. and the six wheel Tyrrel (sp?) as crazy as ever.

**Ski to Be** · 10-02-2013, 04:29 PM

Saw it. Well done. I never knew that Lauda came back so soon from his crash.

**Bobby Finstock** · 10-14-2013, 09:55 AM

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...drivers championship done. constructors championships done. And still 4 "races" left. Boring.

**hutash** · 10-14-2013, 09:42 PM

^^^Yeah, because nobody is going to be racing the rest of the season.

Still plenty of racing left, and everybody still wants to win.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 10-15-2013, 07:04 AM

They're still going to be jockeying for 1st,2nd,3rd loser positions, still a lot of cash on the table. With the new rules next year should be interesting[or not].

Stick to NASCAR for meaningless leader changes, and nail biting championship showdowns between never has or could have beens?

Hugh Conway · 10-15-2013, 10:19 AM

meh, i hope vettel brakes a foot or something, anything, to keep that little shit out of the cockpit. it'd be tolerable if it weren't him.

hey - maybe RedBull will let Webber win a race? Give him a working car, allow him to keep the lead, it'd be a refreshing change.

**Ski to Be** · 10-15-2013, 08:18 PM

I think Webber should have stayed out there instead of changing tires at the end of the race regardless of what the team told him. He is leaving F1 anyhow and Vettel kind of screwed him earlier in the year. He would have had a strong chance to win.

**hutash** · 10-16-2013, 11:52 AM

^^^Seems accurate, but since Weber didn't it makes me think he knew his tires were way off and it couldn't happen. After all he did one of the earliest second stops. I doubt he gives a damn about Vittel and RBR at the moment, so if he thought he had the chance to win he would have taken it.
