The Formula One season is over. Or is it? With four races left, the Championship has been sown up by Sebastian Vettel again after winning the Constructors Title this weekend for Red Bull. While many will no doubt choose not to watch the F1 circus travel to South Korea, India, Abu Dhabi and Brazil, for the teams, these races represent a mini season by themselves.
