Hmmm

1 Fernando Alonso
2 Sebastian Vettel
3 Mark Webber

Something happened in Webber's head, around about Korea...something not good.
 
I think it may have happened sometime before then Wing. Webber insisting that red bull concentrate on his championship effort and not Vettel....much as I would like to see Webber win the championship he had no right to EXPECT it to be that way.
 
The fastest guy won, so that's good.

Don't like Alonso much (does anyone ?) but he took it reasonably well.

I fear that may have been Webber's chance blown now. Too many quick youngsters around.
 
It made me laugh that Alonso waved is fist at Petrov, good on Petrov for holding him off.

Sad not to see Webber win the title, but at least it wasn't Alonso.

Well done Seb

My concurrency also, don't like Alonzo at all.
 
Well That's Racing...

...and one of the tightest finishes I can recall.
I didn't see how Alonso could lose the Championship, really.
Nor, I reckon, could the entire Board of Ferrari, and Fiat, all present at Yas Marina for this moment of glory.
Heads will roll, for sure.

Some will be happy, and others less happy, with the final outcome, but surely this was one of the best F1 seasons, ever.
It proved to me that this is not merely a rigged show which favours one or team or driver, but an honest test of Who's the Best.

Congratulations to Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel!
 
Well, we can't say Seb didn't earn it today. He's a whiner like Alonso, but he can drive the rubber out of a race car and he got no favors today, he did it on his own.

Congratulations to Sebastian & Red Bull! :ernae:
