This was the second F1 race I've watched this year and probably in my entire life. I really wanted to go to COTA but it wasn't in my cards. Dare I say I'm turning into a fan? I know I now want to go pick up a copy of F1 2013 or 2014 at GameStop.

Mercedes ran away with it again. There was a bit of excitement up front when Hamilton passed Rosberg, but not much changed after that.

The best racing was in the back. Ricciardo's push to P3. Alonso vs. Button and ultimately P6 for Alonso. Vettel to P7 from starting in the pit. Can't wait to see what Vettel does with Ferrari.

Good stuff.

I really hope the BOP becomes more level next year. I'm really sick of watching Mercedes dominate every race.

You should get F1 2013 as it has classic cars and tracks in addition to the '13 season cars and tracks.

That's what I was thinking. Plus it's probably cheaper right now.

Turned it on a couple minutes ago for the podium. Immediately knew how the race shook out once I saw the podium order. Changed it. Back to the other Texas race.

I was wrong. GameStop doesn't carry 2013 new or used. Sucks because even regular copies on a Amazon are $40+.

Maybe because of the extra content.

I feel you. It's been a dull season in the constructor's championship. Hopefully it'll be more balanced next year.

Stick around and watch the Brazil GP. With Hamilton very close to clinching the title, it should be a more entertaining race.

With the double points in Abu Dhabi, the last two races could be very interesting indeed. Any sort of mechanical issue (unlikely) could really spoil Hamilton's run.
