India, India, INDIA, NEW DEHLI

Brand new track OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, I can't wait to see this thing open up, no ones driven on it. It's going to be crazy the track shape looks amazing we have an completely untested field, I can't wait to see what the top 6 do on it  and whatever changes they need to make shape wise I think its gorgeous track. You have several straights before what looks like you go back into hell turn wise. G wise there should be some high ones pull on the track as some of swooping curves are long.

3 Count them 3!

Races left in this season, and brand new track at the end of this month the Buddha Circuit. Should be fun as long as the farmers don't come out of the woodwork complaining about the track.Practices at the end of this week and qualifying. It's India i really don't know what to say about other than the fact that I can't go..

Button is number One? Oh wait no that's Vettel.

Button did great right along side of him his whole team did fantastic getting him in the pit at the right time and fast enough to get out In front of Vettel not once but twice. What an outstanding race at Suzuka, tons of people fighting for position, many a pit stop timed properly, only one car out and it wasn't even due to a wreck sadly it was poor work by the pit crew as Sebastian Buemis' right front tire came off in the 12th lap of the race.

Nico Rosberg did well after having no qualifying time as he had hydraulic problems starting from 23rd he finished 10th. Of course the favorite in town was Kobayashi placed 13th. I would say he is strictly the favorite there being his home country but the Japanese seem to be crazy about who ever they root for as many teams were represented by the crowds at Suzuka today.

Vetted secured his place today as champion barring that the FIA revels nothing mischievous was going on all season. Leaving only 2nd and the Constructors Championships left as we head into the last 4 races left this season and the first ever race in India. Hopefully everything with the farmers and towns folk surrounding the raceway will have settled down, though Bernie seems to have no worries about it.

Vettel 1 point

Seb's got one point to win everything and who doesn't think it's going to happen with how hes dominated most of the races this season and saying it was a good race when no was behind him has been interesting to say the least. The main battle has become who is going to take 2ND place, what an interesting turn of events has taken place there, with Hamilton being out of the past few races his teammate Button has taken it with Alonso right behind.

All attentions for the most part have been turned to next year as Redbull has clearly dominated this season in Drivers championship and the Constructors Championship with Webber placing as many podiums as hes got . If Teams haven't turned to next year I'm not exactly sure what they are still paying attention to other then the fights  top team driver.

I still can't wait for Suzuka and all the fan fare that go along with the rest of the season.

Drivers Meeting

So we supposedly have everyone who drives in Formula  1 is mad at Lewis Hamilton for the way he has been driving in the race this season. He has been to aggressive , he overtakes to often. If this is the case what is the point in being a race car driver and instead being paid to just be a driver . The costs for such a thing would go down drastically as it would be a huge game of follow the leader. All of these reports that people were mad at him and yet left and right people are saying Hamilton won't be the main issue at this meeting in Suzuka. Massa one of his biggest detractors says he won't make an issue of it and he and Hamilton have been going at it since the beginning of the season. That's just one example of what is coming out other drivers have stepped forward as well so where did all this bad press for Hamilton come from or has he just been hated this entire time?

Who really knows what they're thinking in doing all this but I wish a lot of the talk would stop and just let these guys do what they're paid to do and race an F1 car

Back to Business.

Since my last post we have had 5 race, Great Britain - Alonso, Germany - Hamilton, Hungary - Button, Belgium - Vettel, and Italy - Vettel again. The last two continue a some what of a reoccurring theme with this race season as Vettel has now taken First place in now  eight of the thirteen races to date. Still getting podium places in the few he did not quite get. Only a handful of people even have a chance at beating Vettel and it is unlikely that will happen as he needs  to almost knocked out of every race left in this season.

We have Singapore coming up and I love a good night race and one on a tight track should be a fun morning where I live.

Austin 5-2!

Austin city council has voted 5-2 in favor of agreeing to spend money that was already promised on the Formula 1 racetrack. 25 million annually for 4 years, personally I'm glad this is the decision they came to, to have this worldwide sport back in the U.S. is fantastic. I already cannot wait to see this track finished and in such a large and bustling state as Texas.

I know typical race fans in the U.S. are not as big a fans as they used to be but this I the first big step in bringing it back over here again I cannot suggest it enough but to have home team as well would be another big boost to the sport.
