Lap 43 and I'm still glued to it. They just need another 19 like this each year! Much though I want Hamilton to win, Hulkenburg has impressed.

Heart-stopping stuff here, Alonso could win the championship all of a sudden! Sorry for Hamilton,

edit: but he didn't! What a race, drama down to the last lap.

Pity for Hulkenberg... Liked more that Vettel got the champion than Fernando, but i thought Hamilton was still in the game...

Kimi should be back :)

All over.
Or is it. Ferraris last straw is to ask FIA to check the car weiights. I am usre a few Red Bull bits were dislodged mid race.
Same here from Lap 8.
Fantastic Race.

Really enjoyed that. Did Vettel overtake under yellow flags though ???

Exciting race though. A few showers always livens things up eh ?

It looked to me that he did Ian...Don't understand why Ferrari never shouted about that at the time..........Great race all the same...

Is Bernie really replacing Jake on the BBC? They also stated the BBC will be showing the whole of next year live too...

Garden sprinklers on every circuit, controlled to operate randomly, is all F1 needs to spice it up :)

Fabulous race. Button deserved the win with his measured excellence on the 'wrong' tyres. I really thought his chances had been blown by the Safety Car period but he bounced back.

I really wanted Alonso to do it, and he certainly gave it a good shot. Edge of the seat stuff all the way, literally from the first corner to the last.

A classic.

Agreed, this years season has been good. The last two races were belters. Really hoped Alonso would do it, so close. Great stuff.

The Bernie thing has to be a wind up it's not like him to be helpful....

So who do we think it is going to be???

Also Schumacher said the suggestion for the flag on his car during the formation lap was the suggestion of Sabina; presumably Schmitt?

What are you saying Newton. I heard he got the idea from you being your secret weapon for the Karting. Have one waving at the back of the kart so nobody else can see where they are heading to stay in the lead. It did not work for him as he went out a lap too early.

Was he a good man??

Well yes, it was quite a brief chat I was there running the zymol stand and he was really quite interested and chatty, the only down side was that he was being jollied along by the PR dollies & obviously had time slots he had to fulfil. Quite bizarre show, spent the entire show with Jodie Marsh on the stand opposite in a skin tight yellow leather jump suit with her giblets on show. I also collected Richard Burns from the airport and had a night out with him and about 40 Porsche UK peeps on a corporate jolly around Brum... One of the more surreal moments of my life!
