    See right there, that's hard but fair defence by Webber.

    It's always worse when you go to sleep for a bit.

    Only a matter of time now till Button gets 3rd.

    Wonder if there'll be a safety car, looks like some debris on the back straight.

    ZOMG! Hamilton went to the inside to cover and then took the racing line again!

    It would be a bit harsh if he was punished for that, but knowing Hamilton's look this season...

    Looks like Hamilton remembers how to drive at least.

    Huge sarcasm on my part :) BBC have been so all over the place with their "opinions" this year.

    I've noticed that. :D

    Hamilton is the new Schumacher for victimisation.

    That was a great bit of racing with Hamilton and Webber. Serious amounts of empty seats in the stands around the track.

    DRS open and Webber still can't catch Hamilton.

    McLaren is one fast car.

    If Alonso isn't burning his tyres he should finish second, ridiculous pace.

    Love to see Button in DRS, I'd say it'll give some advantage.

    Webber just can't get close enough.

    I agree with Brundle. That's not Alonso!

    Much better race than I was expecting.

    Really good fight between Webber and Hamilton.

    I was a little disappointed with the racing at the front to be honest.

    Also next year Pirelli should make the current soft tyre the hard tyre and the current super-soft should be the medium. They've made the tyres far, far too durable now.

    I cant really understand the logic of having a race in South Korea there is more people in my locul pub on a saturday night. The track itself is ok it wont set the world on fire but the lack of atmosphere in the paddack all weekend and on the grid today is shocking the track itself is in the welderness.

    Maybe i missing somthing here lads is this to do with sponsership that South Korea got a place on the F1 calender i for one can think of many good circuits around Europe to host a Grand Prix with the stands overflowing with F1 fans.

    Wow, that really is shocking. The promoters must have money to burn.

    The place still looks like a building site, and the trees and shrubs look horrible. Really ugly to look at, especially from aerial shots.

    It is but I'll tell you what I think it's an excellent track. Loads of overtaking opportunities in the first 6 corners and then the midfield with fast sweeping corners unlike the 90 degreee turns of Abu Dhabi and the last corner is a great corner. I think it's a smashing track.

    However fans won't come in their droves until there is a Korean driver or a Korean influence of some sort. I would hate to see this track go the way of Turkey, it would be a crying shame in fact.

    This will come to no surprise to everyone!

    Korea could be dropped from the calender as early as next year.
