That's kinda what he did by announcing his departure early in the season, isn't it?

I felt webber was getting the short end of the stick for a while. Honestly sad to see him leave as its a spite departure. Redbull obviously behind closed doors kisses vettels ***. I say that because they weren't kissing webbers at all and even if the team doesn't get along 100% you would think there is some merrit in having time together developing. So maybe it's not vettels *** they were kissing but neglecting webby

The new rubber is clearly better and the only guys that didn't want it played that card because others did and they didn't want to hand them a lead just by agreeing on tires. For as advanced as f1 is there's some reall petty stuff lol

Anyone think that either Alonso and/or Hamilton has a legit shot at taking the championship at this point? Seems like Vettel has this one just about wrapped up....again.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone will have a shot at catching Vettel again this year. While I can admit that he's a very talented driver those red bull cars are way better than anyone else. We'll see how the new cars do next year, hopefully the manufacturers will be closer in performance.

Yes! I have a feeling that we might have another Brawn GP type of season next year IF one of the mid-pack teams can come up with something really innovative that none of the top tier teams somehow thought of. For example, Pat Symonds has proven he can build a winning car, and considering Williams has clearly not been investing much time in developing this year's car, then who knows.

pretty good race from the mid pack. not much racing with the top 4 guys. sucks that kimi and hami had issues early on, or it would have been more interesting race with the front runners.

Watch every race every year

Good run at Monza. RedBull had some tech issues but they hung in there. Massa ran well, but was hoping he would podium

Ferrari of course was just itching to win it but Seb cancelled their plans

Can't believe no one has commented on Kimi going to Ferrari...

Not surprised but disappointed. Was really hoping Kimi would stick with Lotus and elevate them to routine contender.

Honestly, I don't understand why they signed him unless Alonso has already decided to bail and go elsewhere....which I don't believe will happen for a long time. Otherwise, Kimi's going to play the role of #2 about as well as Webber did, if not worse.

That is exactly what I explain to a friend of mine who is an Alanso fan. He says no way Jose!

Looks like next year is shaping up to be real interesting...

My vote is worse. Kimi is more consistent than Webber. At the very least he doesn't drop 3-8 positions on starts a few times a season.
