    I believe a Virgin blocked Vettel and let Alonso get a gap on him. Gave him the finger I believe as he was going by.

    Sutil passes Kobi at the end of 130R. looked fantastic as both cars looked nervous during braking.

    Vettel getting angry shaking his fist at a back marker, not happy at all, showing his true colours, nothing wrong with that IMO, but he isnt so squeaky clean as some seem to make out.

    Button under pressure now..

    I think this is the race of the year with the way this is going to finish with Alonso on the charge and Vettel about to become a 2 time champion.

    Now Button really put the hammer down as FA closes in on him.

    Yeah that would have been awkward if he wasn't.

    What we knew for the past couple of months is official now. It was funny how Speed tried to continuously create a drama with a championship that only required Button to score 1 pt in the final 5 races.

    Let's get on to 2012...

    Poetic justice that Button had the last laugh. That was a pretty crappy move by Vettel, imo. Legal, but not really "clean"...

    Yes, agreed he didn't need to do it, if he had took himself out he wouldn't have wrapped it up today.

    But I liked seeing Vettels true colours, everyone slams Hamilton, but get yourself out front on pole and you stay out of the trouble.

    Not taking anything from Vettel awesome driver, but my driver of the day by far Button.

    I've never seen McHam look more like a No.2. Never would have believed he'd end up behind Jenson in the points at the end of the year....

    +1

    And great job to FA as well. The guy keeps dragging that piece of crap to far better results than it deserves.

    Speed TV was on a delay and I couldn't look at your comments until the race was over. That's really annoying!
