Great race, very entertaining at the end! Goodbye 2009.

I'm really glad Webber didn't go all dirty on Button in the closing stages, great racing between the both of them.

I feel sorry for Hamilton though, he could have been well and truly in the race for a podium. Congrats to McLaren for 3rd in the WCC though, Kimi didn't bring enough today.

Goodbye refuelling, welcome back Montreal, hopefully welcome back Silverstone, we will see you again in 2010!

Fantastic race,really.

Congrats to Vettel & Webber-they've done it again! Pity about Hamilton. Kobayashi is our new sensation!


Clever bit of driving by Webber on that last lap!



Button's peppering the ****s all around. Nice,sounds like me.

In the words of Button, "**** I should have waited!"

Indeed, interesting race to end the season with and of course massively gutted Lewis has finally been stopped by a mechanical failure

What an awesome track from which to wave goodbye to 2009 and here's looking forward to next year

The power failed here just before the race and only came back on with 17 laps to go. I was annoyed but it sounds like 17 laps was the perfect length. Just enough time to appreciate the setting and see a bit of racing without all the dull early laps.

Terrible race, terrible track. Only good points were Kobayashi's nuttiness and the last lap fight between Webber and Button.

Apart from the last few laps, that race was dull. Track just hasn't impressed me.

Pleased with that, no Hamilton win to ruin my day great drive from Kobayashi, great battle with Webber and Button and Vettel just awesome

Pretty shit race overall but some good moments

Vettel
Webber
Button
Kobayashi
Ferrari Clueless.

Great clean fight between Webber and Jensen in the last lap. Good fun.

Jenson pre podium

"F*** I shouldve gone to the inside there Mark, both you guys were slow there" live on air, LMAO.

Great finish to a less than great race. Succesful all the same, full grandstands, great atmosphere. Loved it!

Well done to Vettel on a well deserved win

Amazing 2nd race from Kobayashi and Buemi finishing in the points. Buemi nearly got fastest lap had Vettel not improved on his penultimate lap (would have lost me £20! thanks Vettel).

Heidfeld the silent success story as usual was gonna beat Kubica fair and square before he span.

Thanks F1 2009 and goodnight!

So when was the last time a driver finished 14th in his final race before moving to Ferrari?

Quite an achievement there.

The track didn't produce the best racing, but surely it's the best Tilke track on the calendar. The TV director needs to be sacked though - long, wide shots at the end of the straight when Button was attempting to pass Webber, didn't show any of Webbo's post-race burnouts, total crap.

OK race. Kobayashi did very well - great last lap!

Well done Vettel!

Great track, but race with comparison to others was quite boring....

The race was over the second Hamilton had to retire. Webber got outpaced by Vettel by a BIG margin, whilst behind him in clean air.

I've got to say i enjoyed that, great drive from Seb - faultless. Fantastic racing from both Jenson and Mark at the end there and unlucky Lewis.

Well we say goodbye to 09, and i'll have the post season blues for a few weeks but roll on 2010!!!

boring race,
the best part was to watch kobayashi and button in the final laps.

Certainly one of the better races this year. That last lap was better than entire Grands Prix; Valencia springs to mind, as does Singapore.

Is it just me or is Vettel chubbing up a little?

Great race????

I don't think so. 3 or 4 exciting laps at the end can't disguise the fact that this is another not so great track. The pretty lights can't hide that.

Kobayashi driver of the day and the best rookie since Hamilton. The 2 most exciting drivers - Lewis & Kobayashi

Yay, James Corden indahouse!!

Schumi would you believe it. He did retire from the race, but still.

This was little bit better than I expected.

The track is somewhat boring, like most new tracks. Give me Spa any day. But at least the grandstands were actually full (even though the atmosphere isn´t even close to Melbourne or Montreal). We´ll see if they are full next year, and the year after that.

Fantastic racing between Jenson & Mark, neat way to close the 2009 season

Kobayashi...where did this guy come from?

lol, great race...
people can only remember the last 3 laps...

Again Vettel whining about the button

If he does get any chubblier, he will look like James Corden!

Ha Ha ha! The boys in the Brawn garage superglued James Corden's shoes and trousers to the roof of the garage!

Decent race.

Congrat to McLaren for the 3rd position in the WCC and to Red Bull for the 1-2.

Just goes to show you what a few flashy buildings and a tiny bit of on-track action can do to a person's mentality.

I would if I just won an F1 race...

James Allen doing the post reace press conference

How longs he been doing that?

You have a strange definition of whining. He mentioned it once in relation to what happened.

Mid-season? A little bit after Peter Windsor announced his USF1 project.

All season, I think. I guess Peter Windsor is conflicted because of his involvement with USF1.

Can't wait for 2010.

And you have a strange definition of minding your own business.

Vettel can't let go about the button can he?

moan for Germany.

Mentioned after qualifying and just mentioned now, no mention that he has a faster car then anyone else.

Not a bad race. Vettel, Kobayashi were fantastic today, they did extremely good job. I'm looking forward to 2010.

I didn't realise only certain people were allowed to read your posts on a public BB. Still at least I know where to file you.

DNF,yes. I think both MS and Irvine were running in the top five when they retired. (?)



Has to go further back.

I was just going to post the same thing. The cry baby guy is a an idiot. I cant wait to hear his excuses next season.

Relax, that was a joke? I thought you were relaxed because your favorite driver won?

You wait til you hear the German RTL commentators go on about it. Absolute joke.

There is new chapter waiting for us. No refueling, no more of MM, no more Briatore, whilst Alonso at Scuderia, Kimi might be smoking a pipe in his home in the front of a fire place, no more BMW, Fisi(?), Nick (?), Timo(?), and the new Japanese sensation, and much more...

What did Vettel say?

In fairness to Vettel, he's only pointing out what the vast majority of people can readily see: the KERS cars are very hard to overtake on the straights. I don't think he was whining.
