After that drive, anyone who says that Seb does not deserve to be a champion can GTFO

Not saying he doesn't deserve it.

Alonso just deserved it 10x more... oh well.

Not the result I wanted,but a great race nonetheless.

Vettel should have ate it on the first lap. He caused that crash, but whatcha gonna do.

Great championship, incredible final race.

I will say that I'm new to the sport and I did miss a few races this year, but you can't argue too much with the results. I kinda feel like a big fanboy but I really like Red Bull and what they do outside of sell piss flavored caffeine, so it kind of makes sense I would root for Vettel.

Also, sucks for Hamilton and I'm sure Senna really wanted to have a good showing at home.

Watching Austin race now, downloading brazil as we speak... man I'm behind!

Is there anywhere to stream the races? I plan to cancel my cable and use the savings on a car payment in the spring haha

Senna wouldn't have a good showing if you took everyone else off the track and let him run against shifter karts.

Sorry to say it, but the only reason he's still a driver is because of his name.

Pretty spot on there ^. Having seen where Ferrari came from Alonso really deserved to win. He did everything he had to in an under performing car. Luck was on SV's side today. I'm not trying to take anything from Vettel, he drove a great race after the spin. He along with Alonso are 2 of the best drivers the sport has seen in a long time and along with Lewis (and many others) put on some spectacular racing this season. 111 days until it starts all over again :D

Fantastic race and I was certainly very pleased with the outcome.

I certainly felt for Alonso, certainly bringing it down to the wire, however as a Red Bull / Vettel fan I'm happy.

Same, Alonso really got screwed in those couple of races with bad accidents and DNF's, I felt bad for him. But at the same time, that's racing. Unexpected things happen, and they are part of what determine the outcome of the season.

It was interesting to see what piquet had to say to alonso on the podium. You could tell there was a bit of a language barrier, but i felt bad for alonso when piquet straight up said "he felt sorry" for alonso. Alonso's face was pretty expressionless when this happened.

Seriously a great race. No more speed channel for next year! No schumi!

My shameless plus is to view the new schedule for next year on my buddies site (still in dev) www.f1onnbc.com

Thanks,

Looks like Red Bull Renault will be renamed Infiniti Red Bull next year, Infiniti will now be the title sponsor, and the cars will still be using Renault engines.

I don't know about anyone else, but I felt so bad for Hulkenberg and Button when they called out the safety car and eliminated their 40+ second lead. I get that there was debris on the track, but it was also there for quite a while before they made the decision (cleverly edited to happen right after Alonso complained).
