CANT WAIT FOR THIS SUNDAY !!!!!!! :saythat::saythat:

GO FONZO GOOOOOO!!!!​

 

[caLLous]

So, for Hamilton to win the championship... he needs to win in Abu Dhabi and Webber, Vettel and Alonso all need to fall off, basically.

It could happen.

 

[Gumbo]

I just put £5 at 60/1 on Hamilton to win the championship.

It needs Alonso to fail to finish, and if Hamilton wins, Webber must do no better than 6th with Vettel no better than 3rd.

I'm hoping Webber and Vettel take each other off, and Alonso blows up

 

[xomer]

this is one of the best f1 word championship i've ever seen.

i support Ferrari and i hope Alonso will win.

 

[Exioce]

Gonna be a cracking end to the season.
Money has been on Alonso all season but Mark is such a nice guy I wouldn't begrudge him the Championship.

 

[ECA]

The first 30s of the race tomorrow could easily decide it.
It's going to be awesommmeeeeeeeee.

 

[leviathane]

more like the first 10secs, whoever gets a good start will be home drive. No real difficulty in turn 1, drivers can pretty much just floor it.

 

[Aph3x]

I think Button will be told to take out both Red Bulls and a Ferrari on the first corner, his super smooth driving will make this a real possibility!

Should be a fantastic race tomorrow, cant wait to see what unfolds as the race goes on, this season has been the best I can remember, really cant remember a dull race, apart from the first in Bahrain.

It would be so epic if Hamilton somehow managed to win, I remember AGES ago that cars used to crash and the drivers used to run back to the pits to get in the T-cars so they could finish the race - although we havn't seen that happen for ageeeees ( do they still even let them do that? ).

 

[Aph3x]

I think (not 100% sure) that they took the T cars out due to costs reducing measures.

 

[caLLous]

It's prettier and stuff in upscaled HD, but does the red button still work for the actual race? I tried it in quali today and couldn't get the 5 Live commentary.

 

[Aph3x]

Todays the day peoples, lets have some predictions, name who you think will finish in the top 5. Mine is -

1. Webber
2.Hamilton
3. Vettel
4. Alonso
5. Button

Which I belive will give the title to Webber.

 

[Scouse]

Webber'd have to have nitrous pumping through his engine to achieve that

 

[Aph3x]

Strange things have been happening all season in F1. Its a bit out there and would produce one hell of a race if that finish was to happen but thats kinda what Im hoping for.

 

[Exioce]

Vettel to win the race, Alonso the championship.

 

[Embattle]

Todays the day peoples, lets have some predictions, name who you think will finish in the top 5. Mine is -

1. Webber

Would be great if Webber won the title, I think most people who didn't pick him as their first choice would pick him as their second choice but in reality he needed to do a lot better yesterday.

 

[Calo]

go petrov, kubica & rosberg!

 

[Calo]

woooot, vettel champion!

where was alonso?

 

[Ch3tan]

Loved Alonso having a go at Petrov at the end there. What a classless douche.

 

[ECA]

Honestly I didn't really want Vettel to win but when it was a Vettel vs Alonso decision on who's going to win - I had no probs cheering Vettel on

Alonso is hmmmmm ch3t described it best already.

 

[Embattle]

Loved Alonso having a go at Petrov at the end there. What a classless douche.

I'm not prone to making excuses for him but I suspect he was just a little emotional.

 

[Raven]

FERNANNNNNNNNNNNNNDO

HAHAHAHAHA

ehehehehehe

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah, he recovered a lot of face in the interview he just gave.

 

[Gumbo]

Good exciting season. I'm glad I spent the race on betfair though, otherwise it would have been a pretty boring last race.

Biggest credit has to go to Adrian Newey. He's designed/engineered winning cars for three different teams now, and eight drivers titles, awesome.

 

[Aph3x]

Great season and an unexpected end to it, didnt think Vettel would walk away as World Champion but it is fully deserved.

Just watching the F1 Forum and loving it, fantastic to see Eddie Jordan charging around grabbing random passers by and interviewing them, poor DC is trying to remain proffesional about it and kinda failing. Best bit of the BBC's coverage for me is the F1 Forum (other than the actual race of course)

 

[ford prefect]

Fantastic season I thought and all things considered, a very good result.

 

[caLLous]

Well done Vettel tbh, my order of preference was Hamilton > Webber > Vettel > Alonso but any situation that prevented Alonso winning was music to my um, eyes.

Petrov was outstanding for keeping him behind all that time and not making a single mistake that I saw, seems the Renaults were great out of the corners (Kubica only yielding to Hamilton when he had to pit). And well done Mc for a solid 2-3.

Pity we didnt get to see the onboard replay from Schumachers car, that would've been pretty terrifying for him I bet.

Picture of the day:

 

[ECA]

teehee this kobayashi interview is funny:

Formula 1

Q: What is your secret for overtaking?
KK: Because I am Japanese I have small eyes - so I can’t see the others guys.

what a racist!

 

[Kryten]

Woot woot, I won a competition to name the new Pit complex at Silverstone, so Im off to see the British Grand Prix next year with full hospitality
And lots more besides!
