I’ve never liked this Korean track and it won’t improve because it is basically built in the middle of nowhere. Why in god’s name did they built this monster in the middle of a swamp? If you take a good look at the layout, then it looks like a nice and fast track. You have the first sector with those straits and the other two twisty sections, but it just doesn’t work.
If vettel’s engine had stayed intact in ’10 we would have seen the same parade 3 times, that is what these Tillkedromes are all about (except Malaysia). So far none of them have been able to provide a thrilling race for me personal. Austin seems promising, let us hope for the best!
I wonder if this is the future of F1, dusty tracks, empty grand-stands, massive constructions that might be dumped after three years. All of that just makes me very sad.
I’d give the Korean GP 2012 a 3/10. I mean a race were the most spectacular moment is when a piece of astro-turf gets caught onto a car is not what I want to get up early for.

Does anyone knows if Kamui has a penalty after the incident. I know stewards are not fully reliable on taking action but when they are they seem fair.(as they ve got more data than us, simple mortals)
I say this because from the camera angle in the race it s hard to see the cars movements and positions.
Yes Rosberg was in front of Kamui when he swerved to get close to the racing line but he knew that there was the sauber’s front not far on his left and i dont think Kamui was to slow down while being overtaken and going in a straight line.
But as i said the camera angle was rubbish so maybe Kobi did move towards Rosberg as well.
Anyone got some insight? opinions? (based on evidence)

OF course drive through for kobayashi but still my question holds as i do not know why that decision was taken exactly.

I found it to be a dull race overall so only gave it a 5.
