I think they're just alienating the few remaining people that actually enjoy watching F1. It's gotten to the point where they might as well just cancel all the races and hand Vettel the title for the next 2 or 3 years - at least it'd save him being booed.

No, I think that's a little pessimistic - sure, it's almost sealed in stone that Vettel will win his 4th title this season, but next year, with a whole host of regulation changes etc. I think we'll start to see a shift in power - Vettel's domination won't last forever, and I certainly wouldn't count out a Mercedes/McLaren resurgence in 2014.

That's been said for the past 2 years now, and nothing has visibly changed whatsoever. Red Bull have a car that is significantly faster and more reliable than all the other cars in the field. McLaren are most certainly on the downslope - with their slow and unreliable cars, and Mercedes are just not nearly quick enough at all - even the addition of Hamilton couldn't do anything about that. The drivers, I would say, are all pretty much on a level given the same car - bar perhaps Alonso and Hamilton on his day.
 
I think we should make Vettel drive a reliant robin instead of a F1 car for the rest of the season.

He would still be fantastic and show everyone up.
 
Hamilton needs to grow up, his attitude on the radio is just worse than a baby. Sick of hearing about tyres every five seconds also.
 
As a fan of Red Bull, I guess this is what it was like being a United fan before Moyes took over. You'd think winning constantly would get boring, but I'm not bored at all.
 
So sad.

'Natural causes' doesn't give us any idea, but it is not hard to imagine that this could in some way be as a result of her accident even after all this time.
 
From what I read somewhere (I can't remember exactly where), it's suspected that her death could be something to do with 'a detachment of brain mass' as a result of her accident last year. Very unfortunate, and the entire paddock of Formula 1 at Suzuka seems to be in shock this weekend. What makes it even more of a surprise is that she seemed to be recovering very well, and she was due to promote her book in Seville on Monday. Which, sadly, she'll never be able to do. :(
 
And today formula 1 lose mark webber the sport, one off the great drivers
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If there's one driver in the field who hasn't won the world championship yet but deserves to, then it's Webber.
 
Whilst I enjoyed the various 'end of season montages', today was a little anticlimactic otherwise - a lot like MANY of the signature races this year. As seasons go, it's not been one of the greats, and I'd blame Pirelli for that long before I'd blame Vettel.

Nevertheless, 16 weeks 'til Aus and we can start all over again :)
 
So, amongst other things the FIA have announced that double points will be awarded for the final race of the season, starting from next year. This means that the winner of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2014 will receive 50 points. Not sure I'm too keen on that really.

Well this is very strange I'm not really a big fan of this system
 
Utterly ridiculous. It seems as though they're deliberately trying to alienate fans from the sport!
