Vettel Wins! Sealing his 2013 World Championship!

Rosberg 2nd,Grosjean 3rd.

Driver('s) of the Race for this F1 fan is two-fold Vettel, for a great drive and a 4 time world champion, with 4 in a row championship title wins. Joining the likes of Fangio and Schumacher. At 26 years old its a great record to hold.  And, Grosjean for finishing 3rd, starting from 17th is very Schumacher-esk! 

 

 

India is a great F1 circuit. This was a very enjoyable race. It is a shame (and it defies belief), that we are not coming back to India next year! Yes, India is NOT on the 2014 race calendar!  

 

 

Its a brand new circuit for a few drivers, but some say, a corner, is a corner! How different can they be from track to track? Well, the difference is massive. 

 

No-two corners in formula 1 are the same, but even if you could match the bank and turn of two corners, you would still have surface differences, including weather and atmospheric changes.

 

Other main corner factors are on the entrance and exits, depending upon what speed you enter the corner, whether from a long-straight or from the exit of another corer, parabolica or within part of a combination of sequential corners. 

 

(A parabolica is a sweeping turn, that usually starts off tighter and opens out gradually, usually becoming a straight. It can also be opposite to that, starting out with a long sweeping turn that gradually gets tighter and tighter).

F1 2013 Race Japanese Grand Prix

F1 2013 Race, Japanese Grand Prix.

Vettel wins! Webber 2nd Grosjean 3rd.


Suzuka, 11-13 October.
Live on BBC TV and BBC Radio 5 live plus live text commentary online.

Man of the race for this F1 fan is Sebastian Vettel for a quality drive, this race seals his position as F1 champion this year.

The whole race was scattered with overtaking incidents, bumps and knocks, but a good race. The best news is for Estaban Gutierrez who is the first Mexican F1 driver to score points, lets hope this will inspire more new drivers from countries were the F1 sport is not their primary export for sporting talent.

Gutierrez is learning and you can see him moving up through the sport. Its also about time we had some women drivers too!
