2011 Coming to be over
If you succeed to stop, it is relief but still breathtaking. If Alonso is 1st and Vettel is 2nd in Singapore, Vettel will be 20 points to go: worse case. The pace which Vettel meets the championship at the end of the season is to take about 6 points every race, which is 7th place, which is hard for Vettel. So, now you can understand why teams are better to prepare the next season.

Future of the Korean circuit
Today, I had a chance to play the Korean circuit in the F1 2010 within the famous rFactor. Among the user-made versions, there was a soso-made version of the Korean circuit, but none of these were comparable to the official one (F1 2010). Also, the official game is not enough to feel the circuit properly (precision of the simulation is not enough). As I play the circuit in the game, I could feel the circuit properly, and I realised that this circuit is really really difficult.
BBC said that the circuit is half Monza and half Monaco. It is quite right, but today I realised that some other's expression is more convincing: "like Hungaroring". The circuit will not be used almost other than the Grand Prix and is quite narrow so always with traffic problem. Compared to Monaco, Korea is much better. Monaco has more elevation difference so is more proper street circuit. Korea is about between so is really in the confusing area.
While some races are held in this place after the inaugural Grand Prix, the non-useness may still be problem in the future. Most race, including GP races may be he ld in the permanent track only, so the another part of the GP track (city circuit part) may remain unused until the next Grand Prix so may remain dirty.
And if the city is built properly as in the plan, the GP track may be the public road besides the Grand Prix. Well, I don't think the plan will be completed either.
