yeongam style
Check out this week's #fanformula followed by a video below as the #fanformulites take on a #yeongamstyle challenge!
question 1
A 3rd and 4th for Ferrari and a 10th and a DNF for McLaren means that Ferrari have now overtaken McLaren in the WCC standings. Which out of the two teams do you think will claim the 2nd place spot with RBR very likely to claim the title if their recent form continues?
@hedgeryhoops : I think McLaren will still finish second in the WCC. I would still like to think that McLaren could beat Ferrari in an out and out fight, luck was very much against McLaren through the whole weekend in Korea.
@jo_johnson63 : Going on reliability, tyre management and pit stop errors, I would say Ferrari are more than likely to claim 2nd place in the WCC standings. McLaren should be at the top in both by rights. They have had the fastest car most of the season, but due to DNFs and pit stop errors, they unfortunately have more or less given it away.
@NigelBeechey : Well, it appears McLaren can't manage to get two cars to the end of a race? Lewis was lucky to finish and JB an unfortunate casualty. Had the cars and management been better then both Lew and JB would have been at the front away from the less experienced drivers where they should both be. Its now looking like McLaren have 'lost' Lewis and the will to be cutting edge competative. I hope it returns but cant see it next year either.

question 2
What is your view on the Button/Kobayashi incident? Did Kobayashi deserve the penalty?
@multicooldude34 : Yes, Kobayashi deserved the penalty, but I think it should have been harsher, like a Stop-Go penalty. He took out both Button and Rosberg in a stupid move.
@DarshanChokhani : Yes, Kobayashi did deserve the penalty. It is true he had nowhere to go but he got himself into that position in the first place. Not angry at him but it won't do him good, all the more because he is fighting for his seat. Good that he accepted his mistake and apologized duly.

question 3
The Toro Rosso's seemed to show an improvement in pace in the Korean GP. Do you think that the drivers are finally starting to show their potential despite the car lacking the pace and development to match fellow mid-field teams throughout the season so far?
@alonsomanso : When the season began i thought Daniel and Jean-Eric were going to be the surprise for this year. I hope to see Daniel and Jean-Eric in the points and Q3 for the next year both have potential.
@RobLMyers : Torro Rosso have definitely started to get their act together and Vergne and Ricciardo finally have a car that allows them to show what they can really do. Now that James Key is on board I expect that Torro Rosso will continue to move forward. Look out for them in 2013

bonus question
What was your favourite moment of the F1 weekend? ( can be either on or off track moments)
@EmTheEmu : The Korean fans' banners were superb, especially the Kimi 'Creation of Adam' take and Red Bull Gangnam Style. Quite disturbing, but brilliant. You have to be a hardcore fan to spend that amount of money on getting those printed.
@cbeSudha : My favourite moment was the "AstroTurf Moment ". Hamilton was having a horrible race upto that point. We learnt later due to a broken anti-roll bar in the rear suspension. He is racing with the Toro Rosso's from 10th position, goes offline and picks up a big piece of torn AstroTurf. Drives around with it flapping and defending for life from Perez for that 10th spot and 1 point. Must have been the toughest point Hamilton has ever earned. It was almost symbolic of McLaren's day. They might as well have waved a White Flag, in surrender.
@MarussiaF1Will : On-track: Timo fighting with the two Caterhams all race. Off-track: SkyF1's version of Gangnam Style, absolutely brilliant.
