It nearly was - rained at the start of the Italian GP but that was it.

Didn't you know that Fernando kid is very talented?

Anyway, a little surprised only me and Avenger went for Webber given the grid penalty - hope it's a gamble that paid off!

Brazilian GP was wet. VERY wet. Remember Webber and Alonso's crashes?

5. Has my memory faded or wasn't it like that in 2010? There doesn't seem to be anywhere good for them to put it, unfortunately.

On the F1 2010 video game it was, but it was released before the Korean GP ever took place. There were also barriers put up on that so there was a definite avoidance of a collision.

DID YOU KNOW?: Of the 165 laps so far run in the Korean GP, Sebastian Vettel has led all but 12 of them - the remaining were headed by Fernando Alonso.

POINTS OF DISCUSSION

 

  1. To what extent does Sebastian Vettel's dominance in Singapore create an ominous precedence for the remaining races of the season?
  2. Jules Bianchi will remain with Marussia for 2014 - is it good for him to spend another year gaining experience at the back or should he look to have moved up the grid?
  3. With a potential 22 race calendar, some are considering it too much - if the calendar were to be trimmed down, would Korea make the cut or not for you?
  4. Paul di Resta has now been involved in three race-ending crashes in the past three races (Belgium not being his fault though) - is he feeling the pressure since the tyre change?
  5. The pit lane exit has been changed for this year - is this change for better or worse?

My brain took a while to work.

When was the last full Formula One season without a race with rain? (So not necessarily a fully dry track all the time - just no rainfall)

BIANCHI TO STAY WITH MARUSSIA FOR 2014

Jules Bianchi will remain with Marussia for a second season in 2014, the team announced on Thursday morning.

The Frenchman made his debut for the outfit at the start of this year but Ferrari, which has supported his career, was considering moving him to Sauber.

However, Marussia's switch to Ferrari engines and its progress on track has ensured it will retain Bianchi for at least another campaign.

"I couldn't have wished for a more supportive environment in which to make my F1 debut and from the very beginning I have always felt completely at home with the team," said Bianchi, whose best finish is 13th in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

"We started the season very well and, while the challenge has increased as the season has developed, we have learned important lessons together that will place us in a much stronger position next year when there are a lot of changes for the sport and the team to get used to.

"I am very excited to be part of the team as we all enter this new era of F1 and I look forward to achieving some rewarding performances together."

Bianchi's decision to remain at Marussia is a huge sign of confidence in the teamfrom both the driver and Ferrari ahead of the challenges posed by new regulations in 2014.

Marussia team principal John Booth welcomed the fact that his team would have stability on the driver front.

"2014 heralds a new era for the sport and continuity and consistency of line-up will be important in helping us to navigate the transition," he said.

Bianchi's team-mate Max Chilton is in negotiations with the team to stay on board as well for 2014, with an announcement about Marussia's second driver plans expected later this season.

In a last-ditch attempt to stop Vettel running away with the championship, Ferrari hire God to send a typhoon to Korea.

Ferrari's anti-typhoon bodywork deemed legal by FIA.
