Although he can still win the championship from the back :-\ :-\

Alonso is looking scruffy too... Could be the best race of the season :-\ :-\

Can't believe Vettel's luck! And now a SC, which might work OK for JB but could also go very wrong ::)

Mind you... If we can have another 20 laps like the first 20 it will be fantastic :y :y

Vettle over-took under Yellow flags too, looks like it was not spotted.

Action packed race  :D

Alonso looking solid, as he has done all season, a steady 3rd or 4th, might be good enough. He's not going to be fast enough to beat the Hamilton/Button. Force India is a surprise though!  :o

That was unlucky for Lewis with Hulkenburg sliding... Shame he didn't get to finish his last McClaren race. :'( :'(

Vettel just had a shite stop so it's really close now :y :y

Fantastic stuff, 2008 all over again, not over till last corner?

Go Button, show McClaren they don't need Hamilton  :y

Well done JB and Vettel... Got to give him credit for getting through the field and winning his 3rd championship :y

Shame the safety car finished first though ::) ;D

Although, will Ferrari make complaints about Vettel's pass under Yellow's?  :-\ :-\

I wouldn't put it past them ::) ::)

Clear video of him over taking Kobayashi, under a yellow. So makes you wonder.

Take the buzz out of winning the championship on that though, for Alonso?

Absolutely :y :y I had feared that the weather would cause the safety car to ruin control most of the race but thankfully it was wet enough to make it interesting but not wet enough for the safety car :y :y

Definitely a historic race in F1 :y :y

 I lost all respect for Alonso when he started spitting his dummy out because Hamilton was better

Indeed... No-one wants to win like that and, to be fair, it probably wouldn't have been enough for Alonso to win if it had been punished during the race :-\

Good for Button too, clear master of the wet.  :)

That was a great finale to the season. Damp track shows up the poor drivers.

Great shame about Hulkenberg taking out Hamilton.

Well done Button.

Vettel was a very very lucky man to survive with his car still running . I liked the way he presumably ran deliberately backwards to make the car as small a target as possible.

Ferrari seem to think it wasn't Yellow Flags but Yellow and Red (Oil) flags so perhaps they will let it go :-\

They did not seem too fussed did they? Sky Sports F1 just did a slow-mo freeze frame on it, they said although there was a red/yellow & yellow. Then it went to green flag, then back to yellow.

They are saying if there was a penalty, he would have just had to give position back, but Koby pitted straight after the pass

Either way it was a fantastic drive from Vettle.

I hate to admit it as I hate the bloke but he did well :y Incredibly lucky the car stayed together though ::) Even Newey admitted he didn't expect him to make the end of the race :o :o

Great finale to the season, after a heavy lunch I didn't nod off ;D ;D ;D

Vettel has gone up in my estimation, that's two races he's shown he can battle through the field, a worthy Triple World Champion. Great season from Alonso, in an inferior car, well done Jenson winning the opener and finishing races of the season. :y

Expect Hamilton to be in the middle of the pack next year, that'll keep him quiet, and regretting his move, his bitch won't be very happy ;D ;D ;D

Roll on next year, for a battle royal between, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren I have my doubts about Perez tho' ???

Adrain Newey for the Constructors Championship :y

Fantastic race. Mayhem.
Loved the onboard stuff. Vestal bhind Kobayashi who was scaring around all over the place and controlling it so well.

Awesome race, awesome coverage, and it has to be said, an awesome world champion and his team.

I predict that McLaren will not win the constructors,or drivers championship while they insist on keeping Sam Michaels, the guy is a disaster. Look how Williams improved after he was shown the door, why the hell McLaren entertained the anitopdean I'll never know :(
