Korean GP was exciting

No thread on the Korean GP?

Wet races are always exciting. Weber got a spot of bad luck and got spun, no worries, the younger Red Bull, Vettel had equally bad luck with a blown engine. Can help but think this is Karma in action here.

Hami/Donkey pulled out a solid second, Button, I think he stayed in the motor home the whole race.

I thought Korea was a comedy, more than a race. The safety car got in more laps than 1/3 the field.

Bad karma or not, it was a shame that Webber punked himself off the track. If he was to have a year with a chance at the WDC this is it. But now the Donkey is ahead, and in command by 11 points, unless Webber wins at least one of the remaining two races, and the 8 engine rule catches up to the Spanish A$$. Webber will get no help from Vettel.

Only interesting situation in Korea was to see Schumacher rise from 9th at the start to 4th, partly due to attrition and partly due to good driving in the wet.
