Mclaren found out what happens when you cheat, Newey doesn't work on the same ethos. ;0)

Cheers, we have earned it. The guys have worked their tits off this year and continue to amaze the big teams how we turn round upgrade parts so quick. They just need to wake up next year. :0)

Good result for JB, not the greatest race although it did have it's moments, liked Jensen's comments at the end pre podium to Seb, might make it a little interesting for the last races?

My predictions for tomorrow
JB is my main tip for the win. Consistent race pace, better tyre strategy will win out
Hamilton CAN win, but needs to have an incident free race. He's on the way to a meltdown IMHO so the odds are pretty low.
Vettel will probably be second, and that will be due to tyre wear.
The Monobrow will be third if(when) Hamilton has an incident.
Webber will have no luck. Again. He really missed his opportunity last season. Shame.
Massa will do feck all that anyone notices. Apart from listen to some words of wisdom from Rob Smedley. When are they going to let Rob drive instead?
Schumacher will crash into someone.
Rosberg will have an exciting start to the race then have a pathetic mid field finish. Just like every single other race of the season.
In other news, a Lotus (one of the 4) will have technical failure.
Eddie J will get on several million people's nerves
The crowd will either go Wild or Mild depending on if you're listening to DC or MBrundle.

I was a bit surprised Hamilton didn't get yet another penalty for driving into Massa again.

I think we have not turn up to the rest of the races to lose now. Next race seals it.

Perhaps JB could still be 2011 Wold Champion if the Red Bull team are disqualified? That super flexible front wing of the Reb Bull with built in heating elements may yet be illegal and thus considered cheating...

Any respect for I had for Vettel went straight out the window after what he did to JB at the start. There was no need for that 
Looks like he's qualified from the Michael Schumacher school of being an arse.
