Consolation is both McLarens on the podium.

Congrats to Vettel, fair play to him, he raced brilliantly.

Well that was a yawn fest.

True, and I knew vettel would pull it off in the end, how disappointing

My suspicion is that they sacraficed Webber to distract Alonso and let Vettel win.

It has broken down on him many times too. He would have won it ages ago. Fact is, they don't have a faster car and he won it fair and square.

Fair and square, yep right. Remind me again about their team orders to give vettel the lead?

He would have won it fair and square had he not made more mistakes than the rest of the top 4 put together.

Ferrari did blow the strategy at this race though.

Now we'll see that famous German sense of humour and outpouring of emotion , maybe not

This blokes happy

Germany flag above the British flag sick of seeing that in sport

Danthus · 14 Nov 2010 at 14:52

Sacrificed Webber how exactly?

Like him or not Vettel is faster than Webber.

peterattheboro · 14 Nov 2010 at 14:53

If I ever meet Vettel i'm going to snap his finger off

knip · 14 Nov 2010 at 14:53

Aaaaaarrggghhhhhhhh!!!! :mad:

ps3ud0 · 14 Nov 2010 at 14:53

I really want to see an interview with Webber now - wonder what hes thinking...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Although I would have preferred Hamilton or Webber to win the title it's been a great season for Vettel.
An emotional release in the car after some mega pressure and hard work this year.

Here's to 2011 !!

Webber is a slower driver. Not sure why every one is complaining? Vettel may not be popular but he is the fastest man of the 2 fastest cars. And F1 is all about drivers and cars.

Who would you rather win? A inferior Webber, or Alonso who is a ****.

Something we will never know. At least it wasn't as blatant as Ferrari's team orders.

What difference would it have made?

The point is another team shouldn't be yielding, they are supposed to be separate teams.

Yas786 · 14 Nov 2010 at 14:54

To be perfectly honest i dont think the end result would have been any different....Vettel definitely had the best car and Alonso pitting so early was utter madness.

Still would have perferred Alonso to win it rather than that smug little arse Vettel..stupid finger wagging arse that he is....possibly the worst WDC champ ever as most people seem to hate him universally

The most exciting bit of that race was Herr Schuey nearing getting chinned by a Force India.

Trojan · 14 Nov 2010 at 14:54

Seriously though, why have the last race of the season as such a dull, processional track?! Absolute anti-climax to the whole season, just a complete lack of any kind of decent overtake.

And now we've got to put up with a crying, finger waving pussy all over the headlines. Great.

I think you just need to accept the fact that Vettel has won. I personally would rather it was Hamilton, but Vettel fully deserved it.
