Damned straight, feckers should employ me I'd show 'em!

Well interesting first couple of laps, boring middle, interesting last couple of laps.

Most impressed by Kobayashi. Last time I was this impressed with a new driver it was Vettel. One thing that worries me is there'll be a Honda/Sato style fiasco if Toyota employ him

Nah, he'd need a lowrider to really keep it real and we all know active suspension is banned!

Quite a dull race apart from the last three laps.

Red Bulls looked awesome, as did Abu Dhabi.

I thought it was quite good at the start; just a shame Hamilton went out because that was the end of the race for the lead. Although from the sounds of it, he had the problem from the start and probably would have pulled away otherwise.

I did enjoy Kobayashi taking Button.

Why were the BBC advertising CarLimits? Andy Walsh didn't seem to be doing anything but getting his face on TV.

Did anyone else think that the bloke from Gavin and Stacey came across as a prize berk ?

Also impressed by Kobayashi. He seems a very aggressive racer.

Kobayashi is awesome! Great battle between webber and Button at the end - how F1 should be!

Thought the circuit was a bit processional, but interesting nonetheless.

Looking forward to next year - I can imagine shoemaker pissing Teflonso off and a feud between Massa

Whilst Kimi walks away with the title in the McLaren! I put £100 on Kimi this year, would be rude not to do the same next year!
