This is post 500 on my blog, that's my little celebration on this blog. So 2013, United States Grand Prix review of round eighteen of the F1 season at Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas, and predictions for this weekends Brazilian Grand Prix.

Good points
  • Red Bull Racing (Sebastian Vettel, pole to a race win; Mark Webber, finished 3rd)
  • Romain Grosjean (finished 2nd)
  • Nico Hülkenberg (finished 6th)
  • Sergio Perez (finished 7th)
  • Valtteri Bottas (finished 8th)
  • Jules Bianchi (finished 18th, ahead of team-mate Max Chilton and both Caterham drivers)

Bad points
  • Force India (Paul di Resta, finished 16th; Adrian Sutil, DNF, Accident on first lap)
  • Felipe Massa (finished 12th)
  • Esteban Gutiérrez (finished 13th, qualified tenth, but was given a ten-place grid penalty for the race after blocking Pastor Maldonado during qualifying)
  • Heikki Kovalainen (finished 14th)
  • Jean-Éric Vergne (finished 16th, was penalised 20 seconds post-race for colliding with Esteban Gutiérrez on the last lap of the race)
  • Pastor Maldonado (finished 17th)
  • Charles Pic (finished 20th, five-place penalty for the race after a gearbox change, drive through penalty in the race)
  • Max Chilton (finished 21st, drive through penalty at the start of the race)

Another dominating race weekend from Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull, pole postion on Saturday to conclude with a race win on Sunday to give Sebastian his twelveth Grand Prix win of the season and his eighth race win a row, beating Michael Schumacher's record from 2004, he only needs one more Grand Prix wins to match Alberto Ascari record of nine race wins in a row.

Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean finished in second place in the Lotus. While, Mark Webber finished in third place in the other Red Bull.

And so this weekend is the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos outskirts of São Paulo for the final round of the season. So predictions for the race, Sebastian Vettel for the win in his Red Bull, ahead of team-mate Mark Webber in the other Red Bull. While Romain Grosjean will finished in third in the Ferrari. Don't forget the two McLaren drivers, The two Ferrari drivers, Nico Hulkenberg and two Mercedes drivers for a podium as-well.

End of blog for now. New post soon. Bye.
