And he did amazingly well. To be this good at 43 shows how incredible he was at his peak.
Shame he never learned how not to be an asshat on track

Nah, I was referring to 1999 Mercedes (the last Mercedes that raced there), when they became airborne. Those were dangerous, although nobody was seriously hurt.
Group. C Saubers owned though. This year's top speed at Le Mans was reached by... a Sauber-Mercedes during Saturday morning group. C race. 
The engine was an real Mercedes though, wasn't it ? |

It happened three or four times, during practice and race. It happened to Webber once, but IIRC during practice. Peter Dumbreck was the one driving it when it happened during the race. That's from memory, I'll check it up when I have five minutes (during the next F1 ad-break ).
edit : Webber during FP2, then Webber again during the warm up, and eventually Peter Dumbreck during the race, then all the Mercedes retired.

Involved drivers in the crash : the usual suspects. Grosjean, Senna.
Too bad for Alonso, but it's not like he didn't have his share of luck this season.

So you think it's nice to get out for a rider because of the other drivers mistakes? 
Can't stand Red Bull and Vettel. Not only were they cheating with the car, but they also need enormous amounts of luck to get back in the classification.  |

No. But Vettel had far more bad luck so far.
Plus, my sympathies are definately on Vettel's side, whether that might be correct from a neutral view or not.

Say what you want, but Grosjean makes racing exciting!
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Yup, in the 15 seconds per race he has an intact car.

harsh
Australia was not his fault
Monaco was Monaco, could have happened to anyone, MSC again
Spain was unlucky, tiny contact
Malaysia was soaked, MSC crashes a lot too
Britain was unlucky, tiny contact
Germany, was not his fault
Japan and Belgium he was at fault
the BBC have put toghether a video showing all his early contacts, and it shows how unlucky, small etc they actually are. You can do anything with statistics...

Webber/Vettel in the first row for the Korean GP. Alonso only 4th. Well, I hope there will be an interesting battle for the championship lead, and that none of the contenders abandon the race. |

Please have two alternator failures for the Red Bull drivers, and an Alonso win. Only needs Hamilton to DNF and I'd be in heaven.  |

The start will be especially interesting. The even numbers have a bigger disadvantage than usually due to no racing happening there all year, so Webber might save himself from being overtaken, and Hamilton has a good chance to get Vettel.
