looks like weber has just given up. Why cant he close on Alonso, who is being held up by Petrov?

[naplesE30]

Button is going to be used as a blocker to Vettel I think.......

Nevermind he just pitted

[tg318is]

Webber :(

I am so happy at the result of this race, it hasn't even hit me yet and I almost in tears.

Vettel and Redbull are 2010 champs

[naplesE30]

Poor Ferrari all that hard work with team orders and whatnot and nothing to show for it.


RBR 2 championships in a true sporting fashion, congrats to them.


I would love to see horner give a big fah-q to the media who roasted him, and the team for the past month.

Called it! Sad for Alonso but he didnt drive like the wanted it after the first stop. Vettel had this season won, lost 75 points due to mechanical failures...

[naplesE30]

Begin silly season

Patriotism aside, full props to Vettel. He won it, Alonso lost it and Webber just didn't seem to bother after he passed Alguersuari.

Now for the wait til 2011...

Webber didn't have the pace like he had in the last races for some reason. Petrov did an awesome job maintaining Alonso at bay for his teammate. Ferrari screwed up bringing alonso in soooooooo early and it cost them!!

Vettel performed the drive of his life and deserved it.

What a great, great season it has been! Thrills, letdowns, elations, and innovations. They don't get much closer or wilder than 2010. Enjoy it!

What a race.

I was pulling for Ferrari, but wow - what a result for Seb. Everyone ruled him out. The next few years could be all Vettel as he continues to mature.

Nice podium with the three WDC on it.

Does Petrov keep his job now? How about Webber?

Such a fantastic result for Vettel! I was clinching at the final laps.

MVP has got to go to Petrov though. Alonso can cry if he wants to and blame it on random crap like the grain on the front left tire, or the fact that Massa wasnt equipped with a rocket launcher to take out the Renault, but the Russian guy was a key player in Sebastian's title, holding Alonso back for most of the race.

Kubica also did a fantastic job of holding Hamilton back. Hamilton made plenty of mistakes and you can tell Kubica was doing his job when you started seeing the frustration in Hamilton's driving.

Webber..... no clue.

A huge high five to the pit crew for RBR. Vettel's pit stop couldn't have been done any better.

What a race!

Unbelievable race.....the Schumy/Liuzzi smash at the start and subsequent pitstops for tire change strategy shook things up a bit. No question Renault was the spoiler x2 in this race. Great drives by both. Congrats to Vettel on beating all the odds! Many people (including myself) had figured this was going to be Alonso's day but things just crumbled for the Scuderia....the Spaniard still has the potential to be WDC again.

And in somewhat related news, the silly season has already begun. I wonder where he will land....

Hulkenburg will be with one of the big three next year, no doubt.
