VETTEL! Last lap at Suzuka he dropped a second just to get fastest lap. Read an interview where Newey stated that the car is balanced under full and light fuel loads, prime or options and the new DDRS is working...they are going to be tough to beat.

Vettel
Hamilton
Button
Webber
Alonso

I think it will be Vettel (Lotus is bringing big updates so even Kimi might have an outside chance) but voted for Alonso since it worked so splendidly last time...

Interested to see how it does with this flying saucer tech.

Lotus is to become the latest team to introduce Coanda-effect exhausts, with the concept set to be part of the major upgrade package the team is introducing in Korea.

As AUTOSPORT revealed last month, Lotus is pinning hopes of a late-season surge in form on a raft of developments to its E20.

The team has revealed that these will include the downwashed exhausts - that makes use of the Coanda effect to utilise exhaust gases for a boost to the car's aerodynamics.

Technical director James Allison believes the changes for Korea are significant, as the outfit chases its first win of the season to put itself firmly in the hunt for the title.

"The upgrades for Korea are a big step; it is the opening of a new era for us," he explained.

I totally agree, Fernando, Hamilton and Vettel. Fernando wants his third WDC and has the skill and car to do it with. Vettel has the fastest car and will probably get pole, but if Fernando can get in the first three rows, and hang on to Vettel for the first half of the race, he will stay on the top of the points

RG needs to spend a season with one of the bottom 3 teams. They'd appreciate his (outstanding) qualifying pace, and if (when) he crashes in turn 1, at least he's taking out backmarkers instead of championship contenders.

Nice comic strip, Consolidated! LMFAO
Vettel will be tough to beat, Alonso no doubt motivated.
