    Sebastien Vettel Wins the 2011 F1 WDC

    I figured I may as well start this thread early. The title race is over. Clearly there is no stopping him now. It's unrealistic to believe that anyone can catch Red Bull at this stage and equally unrealistic to believe that anyone else can win the WDC.

    In Valencia we saw that McLaren were off the pace. Clearly they are losing out in the development race throughout the year and are unwilling to take risks with upgrades.

    Even if Vettel finishes every remaining race in second place and doesn't win anymore he would still be crowned champion.

    So congratulations to Seb on a job well done. He has made the most of the opportunities presented to him this year and I'm sure he will continue to do that for the remainder of the season.

    And congratulations to RBR who didn't allow poor strategy to jeopardize their chances like last year. The DRS and RBR being way ahead of everyone made this perhaps the worst season since the end of the dark ages (2002-2004).

    I'd have to say it has thus far been the best worst season - if you know what I mean!
    Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.

    I tend to agree that Vettel looks to have the title locked up.
    What's wrong with DRS?

    What is right with it? Makes drivers a sitting duck or else it doesn't really work like this weekend in Valencia. Tis bull****.

    Congrats Vettel, the youngest double world champion. It was a hard fought, and well earned fight last year. This year, red bull have the best car. yeah, it is quite a boring season...

    The only way this season will get exciting now is if the FIA ban Red Bull and Vettel replaces Di Ambrosio at Virgin for the remainder of 2011...
