F1 title decider

[LE Greys]

Won't say what happened in case you haven't seen it, but from my perspective one team screwed up and one driver was incredibly lucky. Oh, and Schumacher ended his season rather badly, but was lucky to get away with it.

Red Bull got what they wanted, personally the jury's out on Vettel - only time will tell if we have another arrogant champion...

Ferrari really screwed that up. Properly screwed up. Much to my amusement. Of Webber and Vettel, I'm glad Seb got the title. Roll on 2011.

Hoping that someone that doesn't know the result isn't reading this thread

It couldn't have happened to a nicer team, although I would have preferred the Ferrari 3 wheel pit stop. Certainly was a good race, with the what ifs. I was hoping that Vettel didn't blow his engine, I was of course hoping Alonso would Crash to make the job totally safe. Not even bothered trying to work if Hamilton would have done enough if Vettel and Alonso had gone - not much point really!

I would have preferred to have Brazil as the last race, not a circuit were overtaking is very difficult. Where is the interest in someone get stuck behind a slower car for the race and lost the championship as a result.

The touble with F1 is that a lot of things other than the drivers can influence an outcome. When you look at Brazil it could be the rain that influences the campionship rather than driver skill. For example driver pits as his tyres are done, it rains, he needs to pit again quickly and has lost.

I am not a fan of these difficult to overtake circuits myself, but in some respects this should have made it easier for Alonso. I have a feeling they didn't take the Vettel threat seriously enough!

I'd say that the chicane before the hairpin is the biggest problem. Just running straight into the hairpin would make it a lot easier to outbrake someone, as long as there's enough run-off on the outside. From my point of view, I'd rather have seen Alonso catching Rosberg and forcing his way through after an epic battle for fourth, especially if Webber followed him, since he could have won the championship for Vettel by overtaking Alonso. That would have been tense, but it was spoilt by a 12ft-wide (or so it seemed) Renault.
