2010 F1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GP: FINALE RACE *** SPOILERS ***

And wth was going on with Hamilton? He wanted to pit 20 laps earlier because he thought his front left was wearing thin. The team told him to stay out and he finished on the podium. When you see him do things like that, it makes you wonder if he is a little scared. I doubt we will see Hamilton, Alonso or Button ever win another WDC but I do believe that Vettel is the real deal and with a little grooming he will win a couple more.

 

Well done SV, hope to see YOU in RED next year

 

Hooray Red Bull!

I am relieved that their strategy didn't hurt them after all. I'd have preferred a Webber win, but "anyone but Alonso" works for me.

 

I don't know about that mate,it's going to be a pretty hard pill to swallow for the following couple months. Alonso had to finish ahead of Webber(check),but failed to finish forth and beyond when he started from third place.

 

Massas heart was torn out with that forced pass by Alonso earlier. We will never see him support Alonso and we may be in for some changes for next season and it may be a big surprise.

 

Congratulations again to the people who designed such a great racetrack.
Endless emotions, I still have goose bumps.

These new racetracks are one more ridiculus than another.

 

GET IN VETTEL!!!!!!!!!!


I'm off to the bar...keep that vodka red bull flowing chaps!!!

 

great season!

congratulations, seb!

 

+100000000³! Very well done... Whooooohooooo!

 

Bummer for the tifosi today...........

But Vettel fought very hard all season, I can't be resentful. I would have liked to see Old Man Webber take it as this may be his last real chance, but he wasn't consistently fast like Vettel was. Drivers must really punish themselves over little mistakes made early in the season after it's all over. Both Vettel and Webber made mistakes up to now, but in the final race, there is no question who dominated....

 

Once Webber qualified where he did and did not make any inroads on the first lap today, it was all over and he knew it. The way Alonso drove, it looked as if he was expecting others to move aside for him.

 

+1 Webber should have won today.

 

Well said.

 

I wonder if Massa feels a tiny bit smug that Alonso the golden boy never got the prize.

 

ferrari and alonso dissapoint all tifosi worldwide, what a day

dissapointed as well webber didnt take it..although not a fan of vettel but he did well to take it and great fight to the last for all 4 contenders

 

The title was Ferrari's to loose and they did, sadly... Hats off for Vettel and Redbull. Best car and one of the best drivers won.

+1 They should get rid of Dumbencali for Pit Stop Strategy, they should fire Massa for not knowing how to be a team player. Look at Button, he actually tried to assist Hamilton.

 

Same here, terrible team strategy, Renault steps up with team and drivers to assist Red Bull.

 

Glad to see that i am not the only one thinking that.

 

No no, Button was actually assisting him self and the team, he made that clear from the beginning or the race when interviewed. He did not do anything to assist LH.

 

+1

Massa was nowhere to be found all season. Even before Germany he wasn't himself. i don't know if it was because of the accident last year or Alonso coming to Ferrari, but driving like that he should be in Ferrari!!!
I said it before--I will say it again--Domenicali OUT!!!

 

Why?

I don't think so, Alonso was 1 sec behind Button before his stop. Button finished 3rd, Alonso 7th... it's obvious that he loss the title because of a bad strategic choice from his team

 

I can't blame them. Back in the nineties the Saubers tried to help Ferrari when MS was fighting for the title. It is natural.

We can be lucky that Alonso got us this close to the title. More wasn't possible given the car. Better luck next year.
