Sad that Schumi didn't make it to Q3.

[LabradoRacer 2]

Massa will take a penalty. You read it here first.

[LabradoRacer 2]

Hope Hamilton's car holds up. I really want him to win. It'll be his last win - sadly - in a while.

[LabradoRacer 2]

Oh, I was wrong. Domenicali confirmed they won't repeat the gearbox move.

[LabradoRacer 2]

An extremely interesting grid, for sure.

I don't think think Ferrari would get out of Brazil alive if they did that again.

Besides, there's not a huge difference between the clean and dirty side of the grid like there was in Austin, so it'd be pretty pointless.

All Ferrari are talking about is rain. It seems a credible theory that the reason Alonso was slower than Massa is because he has a wet setup. If they wanted Massa behind Alonso, they would have given them both the same setup and let nature take its course

Ah, reminds me of the time Massa answered nature's call while driving. I think he won or was on the podium.

Hope to see a competitive and exciting race. Will be interesting seeing Vettel vs Alonso while everyone else drives for fun and pride.

Maldonado gets a penalty for missing weight station, so Alonso to 7th and the clean side anyway. Webber did the same last weekend, but managed to escape with just a warning. Maldonado had a few too many warnings already, so had to take the penalty.

If Alonso finishes in front of Vettel that in itself would be an achievement. Getting the needed 13 points difference would be something of a miracle (without an unlucky retirement). But, as Eric said, we can look forward to an exciting race.

and we can deduce that Vettel has'nt?

I believe so, Brad, yes.

I'm not diminishing Seb's achievement at all. I think he deserves the title through a combination of enjoying a great car and drving it very well.

But he has led more than Fernando and in those situations has not had to be chasing, rather more controlling.

It's almost as if you did'nt watch the first half of the season when Vettel displayed real race craft and silenced those who said he couldn't...

Let's not forget he's the one that did eventually put himself in a position to capitalize on Alonso's "misfortunes", when he himself have suffered just that the first half of the season

And after all that, guess what the weather is today? Dry. They don't expect rain in the race.

****'s sake. Where's some wet weather when you want it?!

Think it'll be pretty easy for Seb now. Shame for the championship to end with a bit of an anti-climax though.

Where has the rain been this year? We've only had one wet race and that was all the way back in Malaysia. Disappointing.

[Rainmaster 7]

Well, it could still rain yet. But if it doesn't then Ferrari's task is difficult. Even more so if they have got some kind of wet setup on Alonso's car. That thing looked quite horrible to drive in the dry so that could make even the podium difficult in a completely dry race.

[BradSpeedMan 6]

For the first time I can remember I saw Vettel yesterday showing sign of edginess under pressure, or should I say certainly both the championship contenders are showings signs of it. As they say, it ain't over till it's over. This race is going to have me on the edge of my seat for the entire duration, come rain or shine

[BradSpeedMan 6]

Actually the nerves are already going, wonder if I should watch

[freaky2 1]

Sure you should, especially since you're probably the one who will enjoy it most!

On to the race!!

Crazy race!

Lotus needs to really work on their strategies... why on Earth did they bring Kimi in so early. By the time the rain started, I bet the tires were completely worn out already. Idiots.

[freaky2 1]

And it's the final countdown... Only four laps.

I guess Di Resta disagrees XD

[Schumikonen 2]

jajajajajajaja Great end of the season and great race, now I am going to spend the rest of the day watching Alonso's fan pictures(at the pictures of you thread) and imagining how their faces are at this moment, I guess they are just the same as Alonso's jajajajajajaja.

Aright, that was disappointing. Race Starts, Vettel ends up facing the wrong way , and I go "YES !!!" (It was 3 AM on Monday morning here in Sydney , Australia, so my wife didnt take kindly to that), then I watch in disbelief as Vettel claws his way back up to where he needed to be. And to top it all off, an unmotivated Rosberg just goes through the paces, and in all honesty, as much as i dislike the other Deutsche-man, Schumacher has outperformed Rosberg this season. So, time to get in a power-nap , and off to work. Hopefully Alonso and Ferrari come back with some motivation, and Mercedes get their act together.

[Rainmaster 7]

Wow, I expected more posts here (you know, a forum war ).

All that I cay is congratulations to Sebastian Vettel, he's a good guy and he drove a fantastic season. Commiserations Fernando Alonso, he's a good guy and he drove a fantastic season.
