Hamilton comfortably quickest in FP2, even Vettel didn't get that close.
Hamilton could be a spanner in the works for Webber and RBR because if he wins, it means Alonso needs a top 8 finish to win then AFAIK?
Alonso didn't run much in FP2, saving his engine for the race.

I've just realised, I'm not actually that pissed if Webber doesn't get the WDC this year. When he's out of the game, someone younger and better than Vettel (and Australian!) will be there to take his place.
It's been 30 years *exactly* since we last had a driver to win the driver's championship... that has to be an omen of some kind for Webber!

The exciting 2010 Formula 1 season comes to a close in the sunset of Abu Dhabi. Four drivers, one with an outside chance, come to the track in hopes of becoming this years champion. This season has seen many points leader changes, devastating race ending crashes, rules controversy, and in team rivalries that culminate on the Yas Marina circuit.
Formula 1 first came to Abu Dhabi in 2007 in the guise of the first ever Formula One Festival. Announced in January 2007, the event which took place on 3 February 2007 was free, and the largest gathering of current Formula One cars and drivers outside of a Grand Prix. At the festival it was announced that Abu Dhabi had won the rights to host a Grand Prix from 2009 until 2016. Later that year, Etihad Airways negotiated a three-year deal for them to become sponsors of the Grand Prix.
For the 2009 Formula One season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was added to the schedule. It was provisionally announced as being held on 15 November 2009, as the 19th and final Grand Prix of the season. Both the Canadian Grand Prix and French Grand Prix were later removed from the provisional schedule, and as a result the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was moved to 1 November 2009 where it would become the last of 17 meetings. In August 2009, it was announced that the start time would be 1700 local time (1300 UTC), and that the race would be floodlit. The inaugural race was won by Sebastian Vettel for Red Bull Racing.
The Yas Marina Circuit is located on Yas Island a 2,550 hectares (25.5 km2) island on the east coast of Abu Dhabi and the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was the first major event to take place on the circuit.

Was he using his race engine in Friday Free Practices?
I though the Monza/Brazil engine is for Saturday and Sunday and one of the retired engines get sued on Fridays.
:lol I lost it. I've been laughing for the past 2 mins like a hysterical old man.Lince said:
Well, the last qualifying session of the year, it all comes around too fats.
This should be an intriguing session; RBR very fast, McLaren finally on pace, and Ferrari struggling with engines? it's all poised to produce a grid that'll make tomorrow a massive race. Personally I hope for RBR on pole, Vettel rather than Webber, with Alonso 5th or 6th. We'll see though.
Right, for anyone who sues Steam and likes F1, I invite you to the F1 2010 GAF group on Steam. there's usually a few of us about and it gives us a proper live chat, rather than just posting here.

I put a 20/1 bet on a few weeks ago and I still have hope Hamilton can win me £200!
Edit: Eddie Jordan push-ups :lol That's just made my Saturday!

Me and Lucius just mentioned that in the Steam chat. We knew you'd get all hot watching EJ with no shirt on!Foliorum Viridum said:
Watching Jake Humphrey racing that single seater round the Abu Dhabi track made me hugely jealous, especially following the legend that is Jean Alesi! Anyway, around 10 minutes til go time.
Isn't the engine situation almost the same for everyone?

Alonso will use #7 and Webber and Vettel #8 ?

Hamilton you douche.:lol
Embarassing reaction at Red Bull. Your best option to the WDC ends at 5th and you're celebrating? Mark Webber is right, inside Red Bull everyone wants Vettel to win...
EDIT - Hamilton will receive a grid penalty. There is no way that incident with Massa in Q2 doesn't get him a penalty.
