Schumi on top in P1!

14th in P2 when it dried out

[LRW]

1. Vettel, 2. Button, 3. Hamilton, 4. Alonso, 5. Webber, 6. Rosberg, 7. Senna, 8. Massa, 9. Petrov, 10. Schumacher...

There we go, now we can move onto India!

How about you tell us what the results are for the rest of the season, then I can spend my weekends doing things that the wife wont moan about, instead of watching hrs of F1 on TV and pissing her off?

Hm, maybe time to take care of that moaning for good with a replacement engine?

FP2 = McLaren 1-2. Good times.

Nice to see that the circuit organisers don't actually care about the race. Please, can we just go back to France? Even Magny-Cours!

What are you referring to here?

I was thinking you meant the fact that the circuit in Yeongam is miles away from any form of human life until you mentioned Magny-Cours... which also suffered from the same problem.

Where do I begin?

The circuit was dull last year and looked like a construction site. That's fair enough, as it was the first year, and Valencia (which now has some colour and is a little more built up) had the same problem. It's exactly the same this year. There's also the matter of no improvements to the circuit, despite that shocking pit-lane exit. How that was approved, I don't know. Not to mention this:

Bild bit.ly/pqkTMb reports that the Korea circuit appears to have been locked after last years race and opened again last week.

Williams hotel is a full hour from the track, accomodation locally is so short folk are staying in womens hostels and brothels. What a dump!

Some teams found leftovers from 2010 in their fridges and the Williams team still had Nico Hulkenbergs name on their hospitality unit.

And this...

Miserable day weather wise here in Korea. Like this track but don't fully understand why the infrastructure hasn't improved since last year.

The potential is there but for all the Grand Plans the car parks still need tarmac, the accommodation for fans and media needs improving

Tell me we wouldn't be better off at Magny-Cours.

[LewEngBridewell]

Wow that seems pretty dire. I know Magny-Cours was surrounded by miles and miles of field, but at least things actually didn't grind to a complete halt when the fans had left!

It's a shame, because I enjoyed the racing last year here. I'd rather this be a dry race, so we can see the track's real potential.

But its contract could be called into question if they have such situations as the ones you've brought to light.

[LewEngBridewell]

We can reminisce about former circuits on the new thread I've just made, so this one doesn't get derailed!

[andrew]

Aye mon Capitan.

Yes I know it's spelt wrong but I'll see if any of you lot can see the cultural reference.

Is this for real? The track still looks like crap? I am disappointed...

[tco]

It seems that the promises to develop the surrounding area and the circuit generally have not been kept. Bernie should have a word with them just like he harrassed Silverstone for all those years. No matter what they did he was never satisfied. But he has been strangely silent on Korea, perhaps he doesn't want to upset the natives. He will no doubt do all he can to re-instate Bahrain and brush the humanties trangressions under the carpet - always chasing the money.

Think Horner will be on the mic to the Torro Rosso boys...

Does anyone else find qualifying simply RIDICULOUS?

I mean what the heck is F1 today, tyre conservation? I thought this is a sport where everyone tests the limits of the cars and themselves, proving who has what it takes to take it to the edge of what's possible.

Instead, I see everyone simply driving around and babying the tyres in Korea, might as well give 25 points to the driver who has most rubber left on the tyres!! I understand its strategy and all that, but come on Pirelli are seriously overdoing it this time. This track definitely needed the option tyres and the harder compounds....NOT supersoft!! Qualifying is a joke, and I bet everyones going to be tiptoeing through the race as well.

Are these guys below racing or conserving their damn tyres??
