It was a great weekend of racing. Stoner wins in MotoGP & Webber wins in F1. Go the Aussies!!!

Thing is, Barrichello was straight out of the pits with cold tyres and a heavy tank, Vettel was far lighter and his tyres were up to temp – Grosjean could have overtaken him.

i know i’m gonna get pounced on for saying this but i hardly think Button deserved to win the championship like this. Barrichello got robbed the whole season. How many times were there accusations that Braun rigged the race so that Button would come in front of Barrichello. And what was up with the three stop strategy for Barrichello in Brazil!?
Yes Button is a great driver but he won most of his races at the begininning of the season when thier car had the superior rear diffuser. When the other teams’ technology caught up Button almost entirely blew his 30 point lead!

Rahim I was amazed Kimi carried on after he said he did get fuel in his eyes and it was burning all way through race, real commitment there, he just got on with it and done a very good job too!

Why is everyone in a dither about Koby’s defensive moves? Webber did it all race long, and has always been an expert at the last second chop, as made popular by Schumy.

Speaking of Webbo, I thought his post race interview was strange. Very subdued, almost morose. He acted like a five time WC who expected to win it all again as opposed to a second time race winner.

As for Vettel not passing, I think he passed quite a few people, with his outside move on Rubens being the best.
Jenson drove like a man possessed (about time!) and is a truly deserving champ.

In my opinion one the best races for ages.

The fact that the race decided both championships has probably overshadowed how good the race was on its own merits. For example the BBC post race coverage didn’t discuss the first lap incidents or Kovalainen pulling away with the fuel hose attached.

Although some of Kobayashi’s driving seemed a bit dangerous he wasn’t as slow as many may have thought in his first race, but then we never saw what the true pace of the Toyota was after Trulli retired on the first lap.

Yes the BBC didn’t show all the podium coverage they usually do such as the camera following the drivers up to the podium, which considering what else had just happened was perfectly understandable.

The one significant bit they didn’t show was the third place driver being interviewed in the press conference, which of course was Hamilton, and given that we are discussing the BBC being biased towards British drivers shows that it was down to both Championships having just being won and not anything else.

Kubica explained it by saying that his gamble for a dry weather setup worked out beautifully. Apart from some luck with incidents and delivering a solid drive of course.
