Same could be said about Hamilton, it seemed like Red Bull where trying their hardest not to win this year

But comparing Alonso to Massa and Hamilton to Button the results Alonso got look even more impressive.

But even though I am not a fan of Hamilton he had a great season considering how bad the car was at the start as did Button.

The delicious irony about his tantrum is that Alonso is one of the drivers most well known for not giving any quarter to *anyone* no matter how close they are to the championship or how far out of contention he is.

Hilarious to see Alonso throwing a fit for Petrov doing exactly what Alonso would've done were the roles reversed. So glad he didn't win.

Altought I want to see Hamilton winning again, I'm hoping for a massive Schumacher comeback. C'mon Ross, give the man a car.

Schumacher deserves one last shot at the WDC, him and Alonso competing for a Championship again would be fantastic. Those laps at Imola were some of the greatest in the last 10 years of F1

Depend son what Mercedes want, Michael winning his 8th title would look a lot better for the team. I think they will throw their weight behind Michael for his last year.

Red Bull was bloody fast in 2009 without Double Deck Diffuser, they will probably dominate again and keep on dominating as long Newey designs the cars and Vettel stays there.

Brawn dominated the first part of the season, it was only until RBR got their double-diffuser they came into contention.

Mclaren have an advantage with KERS, they eventually got it working quite nicely two seasons ago.

Yes, but Brawn was only mildly faster while they had the DD. Or am I getting my facts mixed up?

Button won 6 out of the first 7 races I think.

They completely dominated the first half of the season until the rest of the field overtook them

Yes, but I don't think Red Bull was that far behind during those first races.

Wow, dream scenario for Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel today. I was expecting to wake up with Alonso celebrating his third title but wow :D

Congrats to RBR and Vettel. Goddamnit, GT5 better have RB6 now :lol

They were the second fastest team but if we exclude the Chinese Grand Prix, it was in the rain, it was only until the British Grand Prix that Vettel won a race on pure pace(Pole. fastest lap and 1st position)

In all the excitement its important to note Massa stayed behind Alguersuari for the rest of the race. I like him the most of all the drivers but hes simply not fast enough.

Which gives further prove of who wrong the Ferraris' set up was.

Hamilton couldn't get past Kubica, Alonso couldn't get past Massa/

A $1 billion track that you can't overtake on:lol

Massa could turn it around next year with the Pirelli tyres.

EDIT: Also it should be noted that Ferrari's straight line speed today was very low, I think Alonso was 4kph of Petrov's straight line speed

He definitely has to give some explanation about that.

He had just lost the WDC due to poor strategy he had 40 laps following Petrov with no chance of overtaking him.

In his interview with the BBC he was much more respectful to Petrov.

Vettel says he didnt know he had won until after it was over. They told him to wait a second whilst everyone else finished and then told him.

Why no? Kubica just needs a good car and he'd be right up there with the rest of the pack. The Renault team is a joke right now.

I just don't want him to go to Team Vettel. McLaren seems most honest to their drivers from the topteams. I can't see why Renault won't improve next year, their car wasn't that bad throughout the season and Kubica managed quite well.

He did, but from what I've come to understand the team isn't even owned by Renault anymore. I have serious doubts they'll put the right people in place to make sure any of their riders prosper. For example.. the race in Suzuka was a sham. He should have had a podium finish.

Kubica seems like a like-able guy, much like Vettel, I'd hate to see him take Massa's seat.

Damn missed the end of the race, had to run off. Reading through the thread is funny though.
Sounds like the Alonso Petrov thing was good, i'll recorded it so I'll watch it later.

An off-season thread would be a good idea unless we keep this one going until the new year.
Depends what people want.

You didn't really missed much, it was pretty sad to see how the Renault car was impossible to catch no matter what Nando did.
