F1:India (Concise) - All Things Vettel...

Well, he's finally gone and done it, Seb Vettel has finally secured his fourth consecutive World Championship, joining the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher!

This is not going to be so much as a review of the Indian GP, more like a brief (very brief as these past reviews have just been getting longer and looonger!) celebration of the way Vettel has secured greatness in such a short time, being only 26 years of age...

MotoGP:Phillip Island (Part Three) - The Colour of the Flag Is Black...

Before I get onto the moment that blasted the championship wide open, I do have to say it was unfortunate at this point for Damien Cudlin, new to the MotoGP this year, to be entering the pits after all of this chaos, but all will become clear later on...

MotoGP:Phillip Island (Part Two) - The Colour of the Flag Is Black...

That's qualifying taken care of, time for the race action, and boy-o was there plenty of it...

MotoGP:Phillip Island (Part One) - The Colour of the Flag Is Black...

Well, this one proved to be a bumper event with action all the way around the circuit and controversies galore as riders were forced to adopt a split race mentality as the harder rear tires were deemed too heat retentive to last the full 19 laps. This meant that a mandatory pit stop would be required where riders had to change bikes for the softer compound but all after around ten laps maximum.

Riders would be disqualified, they would be chastised and others would think it was their lucky day and it's MY job to sort it all out for you and give you my take on it all, so here goes...

MotoGP:Sepang (Part Three) - Dani vs. Marc War of Stars

Onto the final stretch then... and "Rider of the Day" of course, bro's...

MotoGP:Sepang (Part Two) - Dani vs. Marc War of Stars

It's a 20 lap race meaning that this is the first chance that Marc Marquez has to nail his claim onto the handles of the World Championship, wresting it from the control of current champ Jorge Lorenzo...

MotoGP:Sepang (Part One) - Dani vs. Marc War of Stars

After the events of the last round in Aragon, Spain, it remained to be seen what action would be taken after Marc Marquez was deemed to have taken out his team-mate Dani Pedrosa.

The answer? One penalty point taking his total up to three now, meaning that if he clocks up just one more in the remaining rounds, he will be starting from the back of the grid. His team, however, were penalised around 25 points meaning that going into this race in Malaysia, it closed the lead they had over rivals Yamaha.

This one would not be as straightforward and inevitable as some might think...

F1:Japan (Part Three) - Day of the Vettel

We're halfway there now (no... DON'T sing the song bro'!), so let's take a look at the concluding part...

F1:Japan (Part Two) - Day of the Vettel

Okay, so that's qualifying taken care of, let's take a look at what happened in the race itself...

F1:Japan (Part One) - The Day of the Vettel

With the action hotting up as the season draws to a close, can Red Bull Racing driver Sebastian Vettel seal his fourth consecutive world title, or will there be a strong sting in the tail as the season draws ever closer to a close?

Let's have a look at my interpretation of the best of the action from round 15 in Suzuka, Japan...
