I don't want to disappoint you but from the previous seasons Red Bull (Vettel) won all the Asian races after Italy. No way any team can do anything unless Vettel has a failure . I think its all over already

Yep. At least Singapore, Korea, India and Abu Dhabi are definitely "Red Bull tracks" ... if they couldn't match Red Bull in low aero Spa and Monza they have no chance in the rest...
Ehhh, I don't watch just to see who wins anyway. As long as there is racing in the pack (and it is covered by the TV feed) I am happy. I particularly root for Toro Rosso, Sauber, Force India and the always-phlegmatic Kimi (although probably not as much as he is going to Ferrari). This year I've been fond of Lewis Hamilton, too, I thought he was a bit whiny with McLaren but I like him as underdog.

Yeh I know. Figured this season was pretty much over after Monza.

Agreed. Lewis seems like a different person with Mercedes.
Think I'll be rooting for Sauber for the rest of the season.

I agree, I have really enjoyed Force India this year despite the fact that they seem to have had a run of bad luck. At this point it does seem Vettel has run away with the championship but there is so much more to watch than just the front runners.

Agreed. I'll watch regardless.
I think something good could come of Force India's misfortunes though. Like Mclaren, they've likely given up on further development for this year. So a lot of what's been learned and much focus can shift to next year's car. As for the engines, well that's pretty much fair game since it's all new.
I think they may very well be a bigger threat next year. Along with Sauber. Probably even Toro Rosso.
I'm hoping Marussia and Caterham will be more competitive too.
To be honest, Maldonado would have beaten Rubens in his rookie season if it wasn't for Hamilton punting him off at Monaco (stellar drive, running 6th when Lewis took him out). Pastor also had Rubens number in nearly all Saturdays that season.
Obviously there were better options than Bruno Senna for 2012, and why they didn't go with one of them is beyond me (or maybe the P&G Gillete Brazil $$$ package was THAT good), but I don't think Rubens was the best choice after his 2011 season.
As for Vettel, I couldn't agree more, I would love if it was closer.
Hi Collective
I respect your viewpoint; but I think Williams would have made a more successful run in 2012
if Rubens kept; the team was semi-totally renewed, from manager to engine; it only lacked the
experience which "Rubinho" was about to offer!
2012 could have seen 2 or 3 victories + 4 or 5 podiums If Rubens got in the cockpit!
I really love to see Sauber or even Force India within podium finishers next races!
P.S. When will Caterham & Marussia score their first F1 points?
Who knows. Hopefully next season.
