Red Bull Racing is sponsoring 2 INFINITY'S and 1 RENAULT. The two Infinity's have been winning almost half of the Formula 1 circuit. Beating the Mercedes and Williams and McLarens
Check out www.redbullracing.com and www.formula1.com.
Red Bull is dumping tons of money into these cars.

Well, I should have kept on reading. It's great everyone is aware and onboard for F1.

Well no more staying up late or early rising.... NBC will screw this up for all of us. They aren't concerned with the fans or the quality we expect and deserve. Only saving grace is that Sky Sports on line has already shown they understand us. They don't just read from prompters..... oh and get ready for an explanation of the sport, ie: The black things are tires; they go round and round!

NBC becomes exclusive US F1™ broadcaster from 2013 17 Oct 2012


NBC Sports Group and Formula One Management have announced a four-year partnership starting in 2013 that provides the American broadcasters with exclusive United States media rights to all Grand Prix races, qualifying and practice sessions on all platforms and devices.

Oh no... this is horrible. Either Speed (which is still doing it) or ESPN (like they did around 17 years ago) should be doing the broadcasts.

The race was actually very entertaining even if Alonzo/Ferrari fans were left unsatisfied. Good work by Masa but this race certainly showed the difference between his and Alonzo's driving skills.

If/when Sebastian goes to Ferrari in '14, that is really going to be a showdown. I hope that Ferrari can get on the highest plane of F1 again. Even under Alonzo's spurs they can't catch the Red Bull and often can't catch a McClaren.

There ought to be a design change to the front wings. Too many incidents of overtaking cars cutting the rear tires of the car under attack.

Like Raikkonen's low risk maneuver taking out the points leader? I still feel he took advantage of a situation to advance; he could have given Alonso room to NOT have cut his rear tire....

Did anyone else see the replay during practice showing Sebastian's front wing going over a curb? The 2nd, from the bottom, lower plain flexed like crazy! Almost 2 inches overall.... I think that's where they found their new advantage.

But the season's not over! Alonso kept his point loss to a minimum and I am looking forward to the first race in Austin! Never been a fan of Abu Dabi ...

Vettel could be penalized depending on why he stopped on track but Alonzo seems to be driving a boat anchor....
