what for? rbr’s main rival has lost its lead driver and is in financial turmoil….and who best to afront the technical changes in 2014 than Newey? Red bull have also subscribed to the status quo by promoting Ricciardo who will just pickup where webber left off. Here’s hope Renault produce a fragile engine next year to distabilise this dictatorship!

@mpmark much like the excitement of Loeb’s 9 world championships. One never knew when he would proclaim himself champion mathematically and by how many points. Just about killed the sport

I think Seb’s getting a bit emotional on the podium!

I loved it when he said “I am speechless, speechless. We have to remember these days, boys. There is no guarantee they will last. We must enjoy it. I love this team. I love you. I am so proud of you all.” on the radio :D

As much as I dislike his wins, this makes me feel a little vindicating, because he still appreciates, values, and loves it, and doesn’t take it for granted like some might.

Incredibly boring.
Good for Grosjean who’s the man this weekend, special mention to Bottas for bringing 4 points back with a nice race, making a 500% points increase for the team.
And a flawless Vettel.
Yawn.

Anyone have Vettel’s quote at the end of the race written down? It was pretty gracious of him- A side I like to see.
Good moments in the throughout the rest of the field, but yes, overshadowed by Vettel’s dominance.
COTA is really a top-notch facility, I look forward to future seasons there. It’s unfortunate that the hype surrounding the USGP is so dependent on the season, since it’s either complete uncertainty or completely decided by then.

Very good performance by Bottas!
He’s been very good this season, finally some points.

Yep. Bottas did really well, especially his overtake on the outside of T2/T3. Made it really stick.
