Vettle on pole again..he is going win it again this season by the looks of it.

As the season has gone on my interest has nearly hit rock bottom.

I do worry for McLaren next season.

Button is a good driver but not in the same class as a Hamilton, Alonso or Vettel.

I like Perez, but not as a replacement for Hamilton. As for Hamilton next season and beyond, I hope for his sake that the new rules for engines work in favour of Mercedes as right now they are awful and have been a very average team since the change over from Brawn.

Couldn't agree more. For me Hamilton and Alonso are the best on the grid but quite some margin. Let's hope that the 1.5 turbo charged engines come in next season!

Just been watching it on the BBC as was not up to watch it live due to my little un keeping me up to 5am!

Turned it off though after 6 laps and said to my girlfriend Vettle will win..and just looked and he did.

So predictable , even after 6 laps. Can't see anyone but him winning it now, seeing as Red Bull are so far ahead in terms of pace.

Pretty sh!te that a car financed by a drinks company is able to  be so much better than racing teams like Ferrari and McLaren, season after season.

As for McLaren, big changes have to happen here. Only one world championship winner in 13 years and no constructors win in 14 years. With just Button and Perez next season, I think you can add another year for each of those figures.

Adrian Newey.. Thats all I have to say about your Drinks company comment...

I agree fully about Adrian Newey mate. He is the main reason Red Bull have such a fast car, but my point is, Ferrari and McLaren should not be so far behind Red Bull, more so McLaren.

Like I said with McLaren just the one title in 13 years now and no constructors in 14 years. Yet in that time Red Bull have come along and won 2 drivers and 2 constructors, and you can add to that 3 titles and 3 constructors this season. Even Brawn in their one and only season won both titles.

I have always been a big McLaren fan and it is very worrying to see them fall behind season after season. Look at the mid point of this season. McLaren was very strong, winning the Hungarian , Spa and Monza and now Vettle has gone on to win the last 4 races with complete ease.

Be the third year in a row Red Bull win the constructors and the margin is getting bigger each year, 2010 by 44, last year by 153 and this season they are 91 points clear with 3 races left.

For me I am getting bored with F1, vettel gets in front and creates space and wins, this is boring. Its like me using the infinite mushroom hack on super mario kart = "boring"

I see James Murdoch is in Abu Dhabi this weekend having talks with Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes about how they would feel about the Murdoch empire buying out F1.

I really hope this does not happen, you can say goodbye to F1 from freeview if it does and god knows what they will do to the sport as whole
