You all still watching the F1?



Weren't those 8 or 9 laps behind the safety car really exciting ? I've had more fun watching white emulsion paint dry :evil:

I must admit that once the safety car went in it was good though. Was hoping for the remaining Lotus to sneak into the points. Maybe next year ?

I'm sure it was 17 laps of safety car (talk of the Medic car taking over whilst the safety car refuelled :shock: ) followed by three laps of racing then Webber brought the safety car out again.

Club Lotus parade laps are more exciting :-D

Fantastic result for Redbull with the constructors champ :clap:

Even though Alonso has done a great job this year i would like to see Webber clinch the title (if Lewis doesn`t that is)

Should be a good show done next weekend :burnout:

He has proved on more than one occasion to be the most self-centred arrogant driver on the grid.
After the race, he even had the cheek to gesture at Petrov for not letting him past! Got what he deserved.

Well Done Vettel. Well done my local team. Well done Josler & friends. :banana:

plenty of places it all went wrong for the top teams ,
red bull had their fair share of moments but it shows that team orders would not have been the right call.

im not a vettel fan but i will take my hat of to his achivements...

Alonso has had a good year then goes and spoils it with his arrogance :twisted:

Can`t under stand why Webber couldn`t have a go at Alonso when he was stuck behinde Petrov :?

Good to see the 2 brits on the Podium and what a season for redbull, infact what a great season for F1. Lets hope Lotus (?) have a better 2011, btw who will be there drivers next year?

Breaking news from the FIA:

Fernando Alonso has been disqualified from the Abu Dhabi GP. The FIA Stewards have reported that his car was found to be underweight following a toys from pram throwing incident on the slowing down lap.

:wink:

Vettel has been terrific in the last few races and deserves the championship. I can't help but feel sorry for Webber, though. Must also give Button a mention for being such a good champion. He acquitted himself pretty well on and off track throughout the season and was gracious in defeat.

Why feel sorry for Webber? He cocked it up by trying to shag a Lotus in a previous race! :wink:

Especially when he could have had my shagged one for nowt anyway :-D
