oh it looked great to me too after the race got restarted, but judging from the first 4 laps it looked like the race wouldn't finish, and it got better when both redbulls were out, specially webber.

What don't you guys like about Webber? He is the only guy out there that will say "My bad. I screwed up. Sorry." Everybody else goes on about their tires, or their mechanics screwed them, or whatever, but Webber is 100% class -- a real stand up guy. (And I don't like RB.)

And don't get me started on that whining, cry-baby Alonso. What a p****y.

It's MW attitude on a lot of his interviews. He (for some reason) rubs people the wrong way.
That race was a mess to say the least! It was too bad that MW took out Nico. Wrong place, wrong time... Vettel had the nuclear meltdown... Alonso kept the horse galloping along although there was no tread left on the rears...
Needless to say I'm happy about the outcome! Wish Massa was 2nd but oh well!!! Schumacher stayed out of trouble and got a great result!. On to Brazil!

+1, and he took out Hamilton 2 weeks ago and got away with it, if it wasn't for that incident Hamilton would be on top now

Out of the five remaining drivers in the championship hunt, Alonso, Button and Hamilton have already won a championship, it would be nice to see either Vettel or Webber win one. But I'm shooting for my boy Hamilton, to pull out a miracle. Too bad his tires didn't hold up, because I think that he would have taken the fight to Alonso.

I really like Vettle, and happy go lucky spirit, and little boy looks. He always seems to have a smile on his face, and is a genuinely likeable person. Too bad, his engine ate itself. Redbull is the strongest team in Formula One at the moment, I think that it's a toss up between Scuderia Ferrari, and Mclaren Mercedes.

Could care less for the whole Red Bull squad. It kinda does put a sadistic smile on my face when they have problems, especially when they crashed into each other. I couldn't stop laughing.

Major kudos to Alonzo and Ferrari for fixing the water pump on short notice and taking the victory

Poor Hammy. There's always next season

The Formula One season isn't over yet, Hamilton still has a chance. Far fetched but a chance none the less.

Uhoh... fist fight coming......

You sure you don't have Alonso confused with Hamilton?

We are all biased toward our favorite and against the guys we don't like.

Alonso is an amazing racer and has the mental skills to win. He never disappoints. He is a class act.

I like Vettel because he is talented and still seems a very nice guy.

Webber can be ruthless on the track but is certainly a straight shooter and I like that too.

You have to be kidding ??? Vettle is an arrogant little prat, can't stand him.

Hopefully Webber can come back to win the championship, obviously being an Aussie I'm biased ... if not Webber I'm hoping it's Hamilton. Alonso & Vettle both think far too much of themselves for my liking.

Devastated when Webber spun ... cheering when Vettle went out (on his last engine too). Good to see Schuey get a decent result too.

If you read F1 news every day, you'd believe the articles that state Vettel is regarded as one of the nicest, if not the nicest (next to Heikki) drivers in the pits. That's according to their own competitors.

It is strange how we each perceive their personalities so differently, depending on who we favor. And this is based purely on perception, assuming no one here has ever met any of these drivers.

Stayed up sat night to watch the Korean GP. Forza Ferrari! Alonso is literally in the driver's seat for the WDC, but I think the Scuderia is too far behind to obtain the Constructors' trophy. Massa has not been the same since his head injury last year. Hopefully Ferrari can land Vettel or Kubica in the future. Great end to the season.
