So.... It's all over for another year. I really enjoyed this season, one of the most exciting I can remember. Vettel a worthy champion, although I was hoping Lewis could've given him a but more of a run for his money today. Quite happy Ferrari didn't get the title.
Anyway, what did you all think about 2010?
was pleased alonso didn't win the chamionship he showed how much of an A*** he is when he started waving his fist at petrov for stopping him from getting past did petrov not get the memo all men must move aside and let alonso through without putting up a fight otherwise he throws his rattle out of the pram.
Shame for jenson and lewis both did well in the slower car
I'm just happy Alonso didn't get it, he's one of them drivers that thinks he deserves more respect than others. Trying to push Petrov off the track at the end of the race should be fine-worthy tbh, just cos you're in title contention and he isn't doesn't mean he should move out of your way.
Vettel is a worthy champion and I'm glad he won.
Roll on March.
I've really enjoyed this year. A bit of a shame Mclaren couldn't quite get the pace. And a bit of a shame the new teams wern't a little quicker.
But we had a good entertaining year. And i'm also glad Alonso didn't get it. Petrov might just well have kept his drive with that.
Think next year will be bonkers with Kers and rear wing dropping. Might make for some mental racing. If a little dangerous
McLaren's expertise with the KERS system to pay off?
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Great season with the fastest man winning. So glad they managed to do it and without team orders clouding the win (overlooking Webber passing the Toro Rosso).
The season started off badly, I was thinking it was just going to be a year of tyre conservation rather than out and out racing, but I was wrong and it turned out to be one of the best seasons for a long time. The fact it had been open with no real title winner until the last race made things far more exciting.
One thing I am really happy about is that Alonso failed, not a massive fan of Vettel but at least he isn`t Alonso. Here`s hoping we can have a Brit back on top next year.
It's been an excellent year. 2008 was a good championship but with generally poor races. 2010 has had a good mix of title battle and excellent races (Montreal was epic). From a championship perspective, it was a bit of a dull finale (decent action elsewhere), but we've been spoiled a few times this year.
As for the title, the fastest driver won out, but all 4 real contenders had good positives and weaknesses.
- Vettel was super quick and unlucky with unreliability, but he made some critical errors too.
- Alonso had the slowest car of all the contenders (much slower for most of the season), some bad luck early in the season, but also had Hockenheim (well his team did) - had he won by less than 8 points, it would have tainted the title for many.
- Webber had the consistency up until Korea, but also had the worst first lap possible in the season and was seldom faster than his teammate.
- Hamilton made too many silly mistakes in races, but held in there.
Had either Vettel or Alonso won, it would have been well deserved, but Webber and Hamilton lost it towards the end of the year. If I was choosing I'd have liked Webber to have won it as he had to get into F1 on his own with a lot of sacrifices, unlike Vettel and Hamilton, and he's a good, honest guy. Still, at least Vettel is hard to dislike and seems a genuinely fun bloke when he's not in a sulk.

Today was just frustration. It's no different from Hamilton complaining over the radio about pit calls. Sometimes you just let your frustration get the better of you in the heat of the moment.
He'd calmed down a lot by the time the media interviews came around and was gracious in defeat.
To be fair, while they are a Red Bull junior team, Ferrari supply the engines, and they gave Ferrari zero help, so they weren't bending over completely. That'll make for an interesting next meeting between team and engine supplier.
Enjoyed the race, glad Vettel won - i.e. car held together for once.
Were you in the same room when my old man summed up this years events. thats pretty much what he said word for word !It's been an excellent year. 2008 was a good championship but with generally poor races. 2010 has had a good mix of title battle and excellent races (Montreal was epic).

im glad redbull won, they deserved it all season. they always had the faster car just reliability and politics werent always in their hands. GO RBR
how ever i got to say, Renault need to have a special thanks too. For denying both hamilton and alonso.
i think the quote of the race has got to be alonso's radio message after a while hes been stuck behind petrov. something like "i know guys your doing a good job, but we need to get past!!" - alonso if you want to be world champion, stop asking for team orders.
overall it was a very exiting season to watch, alot of competition as there was no clear leader ahead for the entire season and plenty of petrov and vettle crashes to keep viewers amused.
and finally i leave you with a picture, many of you might not get the reference but...
cant wait for march now...
our boiler broke so we has no heating or hot water, this is the bloody result ^^
Did anyone watch the qualifiers on Saturday? My Dad said that it had a similar opening sequence to something like the X-Factor with a stupid voice over guy talking about all the drivers like they were contestants. I can't find anything about it anywhere.
If it was, I'm guessing it was something to do with Children in Need?
Yeah. I recognised the voice, but had no idea where from.
Thinking now I'm feeling it was the guy who did (does?) the trailers on channel 4 with the booming voice. No idea if it was specific trailers, but I'm thinking that's where I've heard him.
If I remember tonight I'll rip that section.
Yeah, they did that. Find it on the iPlayer and watch it. It's right at the start so you won't have to watch for long to see it.
Whilst a portion of Vettels success is undoubtably down to the car the thing that impressed me the most is the fact that he stuck at it despite not being in the best position to win the title. He still has some growing up to do, much like Hamilton in some ways, but that is understandable considering his age. Personally I hope winning the title will be a positive influence in this respect as being a great champion in my eyes is also about how you deport yourself. Senna for example may been a devil at times on the track in his pursuit of individual success, but he fought tooth and nail for the safety of all drivers in the sport.
So in the end we had a fitting end to an exciting season, which thankfully was on the BBC.
Roll on next season which with all the changes, including tyre manufacturer, promises to be just as exciting.
If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
Its a pity Webber didn't manage to come through and pick up the title, I would have liked to seen him win it as the underdog and for the majority of the season he's remained dignified in what must be unbearable circumstances in that team. As a Ferrari fan I'd liked to have seen Alonso win, he's a fantastic driver in what's been a terrible car now for several seasons. I'm really looking forward to next season now, will have to try and get some tickets for silverstone!
