2011-10-30 20:42:00 |
| Sebastian Vettel won the 2011 Formula 1 Airtel Grand Prix of India, but it might as well have been a replay of his victory in Korea a fortnight ago as he simply ran away and hid and left Jenson Button to chase him from a distance.
Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber were even further behind while yet another clash with Felipe Massa left a bitterly disappointed Lewis Hamilton to a seventh-place finish in the McLaren behind the Mercedes duo of Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg.

2011-10-14 11:51:00 |
| Mercedes' Michael Schumacher upstaged Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel in a super-wet opening practice session on Friday morning in Korea - and just got away with a very off-course moment coming into the pits at the end of the session.

Schumacher: You will see me in 2012 |

| Mercedes' Michael Schumacher has rebuffed rumours that he is set to retire (again) at the end of the 2011 season. It follows recent speculation that the seven-time champion could be replaced for 2012 in light of his disappointing form since joining the German team last year.
Schumacher was overshadowed by younger team mate Nico Rosberg in 2010, and although he has closed the gap this season, Rosberg has still scored 50 percent more points thus far in 2011. Nevertheless, the 42-year-old insists he will be fulfilling his Mercedes contract next year

You'd be wrong. There's still plenty left on Heidfeld's F1 fantasy wish list, including dining with Ayrton Senna, Bernie Ecclestone, Enzo Ferrari and Colin Chapman, trying out 1950s-style F1 and driving Michael Schumacher's title winning 2004 Ferrari
