Grand Prix of Japan (Indianapolis) 10/09/2011

Just for Stinđer 🤣

Mladen, cut the chatter. ☕

What a masterclass🙏🙏🙏🙏

Man, if they had been running a car this competitive all season long, I honestly don't doubt for a second that they would have walked away with the title.

man, Sebastian Vettel seriously has zero clue how to actually drive
Fernando Alonso is hands down the best even when he's stuck in a garbage car
Lewis Hamilton is just a total jerk
Jenson Button was almost the best out there
but the absolute GOATs are Prost and Senna

just more of the same mindless babble from one race to the next...

Way to go Button, way to go Alonso.

Massa was just mediocre again.👎

Perez and Rosberg 🙏

Congrats to Vettel on the title. Honestly, he was as boring as a rainy Monday this year.😬

Morning, everyone—specifically to the folks over at 😬
.

Alonso takes first place. ☕

Big congrats to Gumbek on the win, huge props to Vettel for clinching the championship title, and high fives to Schumacher for staying ahead of Ferrari. Also, a quick shout-out to all the haters out there who have been stoically absorbing nothing but pure inferiority complexes from the greatest ☕

Look, Mladen, if he was already the youngest world champion in history, isn't it just common sense that Vettel would be the youngest two-time F1 Champion too? 🤔

Actually, he's not. 🙂

Button is driving just like a true legend!!! 🙏 This time, the underdog actually taught the successor a thing or two. 🙏

Alonso was brilliant! Schumacher was brilliant! And Perez was brilliant too! 🙏

Kobayashi fell short this time. 😢

Hamilton... 🤦

That was exactly what I was planning to write to him... He was certainly a sharp guy, though perhaps not quite as brilliant as people assumed...

If he won it two years in a row, then he definitely did.

Your logic is a bit shaky there... ☕
Bravo Vettel🙂

^^^^ That was a race absolutely packed with action and pure spectacle on track.

I honestly have no idea what Mladen Jergovic was watching. How could he call that anything other than a tense, incredible race?

Boring as hell.

morning to you too😁



😍

damn, it was freezing this morning. first time this year I actually had to scrape ice off my windshield.😳

For instance, why should anyone hold Ferrari accountable when they perform catastrophically on the hardest compound tires?
I fail to see where the grievance lies; McLaren Racing and Red Bull Racing are more than happy whenever Ferrari opts for that specific tire specification.
I was actually quite surprised today; I had fully expected Fernando Alonso to suffer a setback due to the persistent issues Ferrari has faced all season, yet somehow, this outcome feels entirely unexpected.😕

Then there is the matter of the aerodynamics at the beginning of the year—what an endless string of complications. One can only hope that Ferrari finally engineers a truly competitive car for next season, rather than relying on nothing but optimistic rhetoric.
I just pray that Adrian Newey doesn't design a powerhouse that leaves the entire field in the dust.

That’s exactly how it’s going to go.
Ferrari should be more competitive next year, but Adrian Newey has already hinted that next season's car will be even better than this one.
🙂All respect to the master.

How incredibly dull that race was...🤦
That was such a pathetic call by Red Bull...🤦
Just one Rubens...🤦
And what a poor prediction from TBF1D...🤦 😁

😢

The worst part is everything just stays 🙂

And honestly, I am absolutely livid about Red Bull's decision. Seriously, what a joke. Even if they had crashed out, it wouldn't have mattered—the kid was going to take the title regardless.🙄

The only thing I actually regret, and I have no clue why, is why Kamui started on softs when his lap in Q3 ended up being on hards. 😕

I was wondering if any of the logic experts here could walk me through how it's possible for someone to hold two consecutive titles without necessarily being the youngest person to achieve two titles?

McLaren was the closest challenger to Red Bull this season, and regardless of what Adrian Newey does, next season should be much tighter. I must reiterate my expectation that from Pat Fry, we should see a total revolution at Ferrari for the 2012 season, making them true contenders against Red Bull right from the very first race.

What I find utterly baffling in this entire narrative is where Mark Webber disappeared to this season, considering he was fighting alongside Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel for the championship title in the final race last year?
