A quick review of the race, and are we going to the Korean International Circuit in three weeks time.
- Fernando Alonso (pole to win)
- Red Bull Racing (Sebastian Vettel finished 2nd, Mark Webber finished 3rd)
- Nico Rosberg (finished 5th)
- Williams (Rubens Barrichello finished 6th, Nico Hulkenberg finished 10th)
- Robert Kubica (should have finished 6th, but for right rear puncture till the end, but still overtake a few people in the end and finished 7th)
Bad points
- Lewis Hamilton (another dnf, incident with Mark Webber)
- Force India (Sutil 9th, Liuzzi dnf)
- Sauber (Kobayashi dnf, Hiedfied dnf)
- HRT (Senna dnf, Klien dnf)
- Michael Schumacher (finished 13th, a poor second half of a race)
Overall a good race, and a good fight for the lead with Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, with Alonso doing a striaght line to finish win will done Fernando. With the drivers championship, top five split by 25 points altogether. With four (or three) races to go, its hotting up.
WIth the incidence with Mark Webber and Lewis Hamilton, when Hamilton attempted to pass Webber at turn seven on the restart lap after the second Safety car period, where Webber's Red Bull escaped without damage, but Hamilton's suspension (just leading ahead of Webber then) was broken and he was forced out, his second retirement in two races. It was just a racing incident in my opinion, could have cost Webber a drive through penalty, well done race stewards for the decision.
But wasn't impressed with the stewards decision with Adrian Sutil and Nico Hulkenberg giving them 20 second penalty after the race, for both cutting at turn seven on the first lap!, When the decision was made after the race. So why do the penalty in the race?, so in my view the penalties should be void, because the decision should have been 20 minutes after the incidence (it's in the rule book). So poor decision stewards have created then.
So with the latest news with the Korean Grand Prix lately, are we going in three weeks time? In my opinion if the track isn't ready 90 days ago before hand, let alone three weeks time and still not ready, and my answer is no. But track designer Hermann Tilke says it will be ready. Below, footage of Karun Chandhok driving a Red Bull around South Jeolla Circuit a few weeks back.
I think Bernie Ecclestone being a bit forgiving this time (usually his unforgiving remember Donnington last season). If I was Bernie? say no. It gives a message to the organisers and future organisers such as Jaypee Circuit in India (an Indian Grand Prix in 2011 is schedule) and organisers in Austin, Texas (for the United States Grand Prix, schedule for 2012). Get your stuff into gear, and It gives a clear message 'Don't mess with Bernie!' for the future.
That is all, Bye.
