Whoa! It's November again and F1 is nearly over. Does anyone fancy another SeasonFinaleWatchParty?

Why? Meet and marvel at your fellow Autosport forummers. Watch Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel prove that next year is going to be their year. Say things about Kimi Raikkonen with total impunity.

Where? Open to suggestions about venues, although the place that hosted us last year, JetLag, had many screens, audible sound, nice beer and no natural light. It's in London near Warren St station and the Post Office Tower. Any other ideas, post them below. But keep them in London.

Who? This is the best part -- you decide whether or not you attend. Leave a comment below if you'd like to come and if there's a good response it will definitely happen.

Damn. Wish I'd been able to join, and was actually planning to be in London that weekend because we have a 4-day weekend back here, but budgetary constraints put paid to that.

Oh well. I'll give you guys a trade: post as many photos as you can from this party, and I'll post as many as I can from the Bathurst 12 Hour.

Unfortunately I'll be in Cape Town so I'll have to give this a miss this year.

I enjoyed last year's Watch Party so much and I would love to go again...however, I now have four month old twin girls to look after so it's impossible. Hope all those who can make it have a great time!

Congratulations!! :clap: :clap:

They are probably more important than watching F1 in a pub on a wet November afternoon. Not that that's not a great way to spend your Sunday, everyone.

Would love to attend myself, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm completely stuck in the Netherlands ATM. Won't be suggesting doing the same thing here!

Names of Vettels girlfriend and his 1st daughter. Coincidence?

Ha ha yes I did actually think about Vettel when I chose the names, those that wasn't the reason I chose them, I just liked them. We both have good taste.

I'd love to join you all but sadly isn't possible due to many reasons (

) but I implore anyone who can go should go because if they are awesome as they are on the forums and in chat you will have a hell of a good time.

I've spoken Scott @ JetLag and have a reservation for Sunday, 29 November. I will PM you all at the end of the week with details. The rules are:

1. Arrive by noon.

2. There are no other rules.

3. You've still got to arrive by noon.

4. Peat is bringing gazpacho.

5. Is that gazpacho?

If anyone's interested in puerile comedy, Richard Herring is doing one of his interview/podcasts over at Leicester Square Theatre at 4pm. That's where I shall be heading afterwards. Please, someone wake me up and let me know when the race is over.

OvDrone is a nice young man in person. Wears a very heavy leather jacket.

Had a really nice time watching a 5/10 race with y'all in London. Especially the Nico Rosberg slagging-off session that developed halfway through.
