The other teams may as well pack their bags and head to Abu Dhabi as there is no stopping Vettel and Red bull. Good news for Ricciardo for next year though

I thought it was nearly going to be the perfect position for Webber there late in qualifying that he was on the mediums and had a front row start as opposed to Vettel on the softs which would have meant, if Webber got a decent start, that he would have got the advantage of the longer first stint but alas the two Mercs got in between the two Red bulls.

Hopefully Webber can have a cracker of a start.

Also hard luck to Ricciardo on missing out on Q3 and Massa will be happy with his performance beating Alonso.

Yep if Webber could have Qualified in P2 it would have been a great result, In saying that though, I think with the medium's on he is still in with a very good shot to finish P2 in the race, Webber won't beat Vettel unless he has a mechanical or crash, Vettel's practice times and past history on this track are very impressive.

I don't know what it is but it seems to me that every podium competing team has stopped development to focus on 2014 which is allowing Vettel and Red bull to truly dominate and show the class of this year's car.

All I will say is there must seriously be a conspiracy working against Webber in Red bull for him to have so many DNFs and Vettel to have so few.
