I'd rather Webber win it. If only so that there would be a different world champion each year (Alonso, Hamilton, Raikonen, Button and Webber)

Oh and I hate Alonso's guts. No reason, he just rubs me the wrong way.

We all want Webber to win, my judgment tells me Alonso will have what it takes to take it to the end, I never liked Alonso when he was with Renault but he suits Ferrari and not many drivers can rise above Ferrari's demands but he can so I've developed a liking for him.


The F20C held the record for producing the highest specific power output for any mass production naturally aspirated engine 123.5 HP/L until Ferrari released the 458 Italia in 2010, which produces 124.5 HP/L.

The race night was totally packed out. Crowd might look a little thin in some of my pics but I was there at all hours.

I want to shave his eye brows !



Singapore has quickly become one of the premier gp events the commentators were saying .

I think they might say that about whatever event is current.

The F1 Rocks was a bit of a camp fest. Monza had the Stereophonics, Singapore had Mariah Carey, Adam Lambert, and the Chippendales!

With Webber chucking his car in Korea, I cant wait for this weekend's race in Brazil, I think Alonso is going to take the Championship win this year!

I watched the race. It was very exciting. With Hulkenberg getting in everybody's way it had an element of "The rookie is going to take someone out" which I enjoyed.

I don't like the idea of Alonso winning but all he has to do is finish right behind Webber (as long as it is <5th I think). Webber has to win and hope Alonso finishes 3rd or worse.

The title can go three ways if these drivers finish in these positions

- Vettel first
- Webber Second
- Alonso comes fifth

The title points will be

Alonso = 256
Vettel = 256
Webber = 256

but then it comes down to who has the most wins , and Alonzo will have that in the bag.

Vettel's a DH , he should let Webber win in Brazil, as Ferrari/Alonzo must be laughing their arse's off , as they have the advantage going into the final round. Vettel's ego wont let him back off to let Webber win it.

Im gonna scream abuse at Vettel next year in Melbourne :lalala:

^ yeah true redbull have shot themselves in the foot in Brazil by not letting Webber win it, but then with team orders they can't do that & if they did, Ferrari will jump up and down if they let Webber pass, Vettel was quicker all weekend. At the end of the day Webber chucked it in Korea if he had finished with some points in that race then title would go his way in Abu Dahbi... I can see a Ferrari winning it this weekend.

I think it is Webber's own mess. But Ferrari would cop it if it protested team orders.

Disappointing race. Not because Webber didn't win, but because both him and Alonso didn't even look like they were trying.

He took a gamble on the pitstop, Alonso followed and then they just sat there behind the Renault doing nothing, like neither of them even wanted to win the championship anymore.

I really thought this would be an exciting race but it turned out quite boring.
Too fast for the street :P

It was disappointing but then F1 often is. You don't think Alonso and Webber were trying?

Actually the conspiracy theorist side of me thinks it was a deliberate ploy by Red Bull to take Alonso out of contention so Vettel could win :D

How would Webber keep Alonso out? He was behind him?

im sure they were , just the conditions on the day didnt suit their cars.

Maybe it was the build up and hype for the final round that has left me wanting more for the final race with a battle from the 4 contenders.

But it was just a dominant drive from Vettel.

I dont know what race you guys were watching but to me Alonso and Webber were pushing as hard as they possibly could! Alonso was pushing so hard he was making mistakes.. which he rarely does, Petrov did a great job of staying infront of Alonso, it was the first time Petrov didnt make a mistake because he knows its his last chance for him to impress Renult so he can retain his seat for next year.. All in all, good race happy Vettel won it.

I agree 90%! All except the bit about Vettel winning. ;)
