Just 100 points to grab from 4 races. Anything can still happen.

When Grosjean does not crash in the first lap he can drive a good race.
I was so hoping Vettel's tire would burst like how his engineers is worrying about.
Not a boring race.
Still sad to see crowd attendance outside the main grandstand is soooo little.
Maybe the track is just too far away from any city. Almost 400km from Seoul.

Meanwhile at the stage nearby.

Räikkönen remains the only driver to complete every single racing lap so far this year and has now finished in the points in 15 of the 16 races.

Seriously hope he can bag another tittle, just like he won with 1 point advantage previously.

Qualifying is at 4.30 pm (our local time) tomorrow (Saturday). I think Alonso will do well at this track.

Iceman for WDC 2013 !
Slim chances though.
But you never know, he won by 1 point in 2007.

And Massa lost it to Hamilton in the last corner of the last lap of the last race.

Result in India is (1) Vettel (2) Alonso (3) Webber

Championship standing (1) Vettel - 240 points (2) Alonso - 227 (3) Raikkonen - 173

It is a 2 horse race with 3 races remaining.

Why not 3?
Statistically Kimi still can do it.
Although chances are super slim.

Hülkenberg confirmed at Sauber for 2013

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/286458/hulkenberg-confirmed-at-sauber-for-2013/

I remember he was ruthless in A1 GP !
Hope him being in Sauber can push Kamui to be better.

Vettel's team want to grab pole from Hamilton by taking less fuel, now end up at the back. Really kiasu.

Kiasu? Proved to be pure genius.
Start from pit and climb all the way back to 3rd!

2012 season is the best i have seen in the past 5yrs.
The best Abu Dhabi race ever.

I seriously LOL when Kimi went on the radio.

1- Race engineer updates him on his race status, Kimi: Leave me alone n shut it.
2- Race engineer during safety car period ask him to keep hear in the tires. Kimi: Yes yes yes what you think i am doing, stop reminding me, shut it.
3- Totally Kimi when on the podium. When asked how you feel after winning the race and 1st since your come back? Kimi: Meh...no feeling.

IF Hamilton can turn the Merc team around which Michael could not do in 3 yrs then it will make me respect him more.

I think if you put any other "good" driver in a Mclaren most will perform not too much off on what Hamilton can do.

As much as i like and support Kimi, Alonso still gets my vote for this years driver of the year and being the BEST all round driver on the grid.
Who else can pilot a turd of a Ferrari car this year to being in the position he is in right now?
