Massa waving flag.

Congratulations to Button and Brawn.

Finsihes with Button as World Champ and Brawn as Constructors!

Good win for Webber, good to see Kub and Lewis in 2nd and 3rd. Lewis coming from so far behind and Kubica in a faster car.

Great racing from this track and some nice action in the early parts. This track seems to lend itself to actual racing which is great!

Button and Vettel had a good fight up to 4th and 5th from quite far down.

Best race of the year for the neutral F1 fan.
Kazuki was totally taken out by Kobyashi, but I was impressed with the debutant for Toyota.
Vettel and Hamilton had starming drives as did Webber and Kubica. But Button's determination on the overtakes were a joy to behold - his race craft is undeniable...thought I'm waiting for the haters to bleat.

I think we'll see a different Button in Abu Dhabi's Qualifying.

Well played Button, he pulled off some nice moves there and he needed to, not just to win the WDC but to show people he's not lucking out. Even though he also lucked out huge in this race too.

Probably one of the better races of the season, too bad rain didn't come and make things more interesting. Don't know what Trulli seemed so angry about, looked like his fault tbh, or at the very least, an unlucky unavoidable collision.

Congrats to Brawn/Button though! Two brits in a row, lets make it three with Hamilton next season. No more messing around McLaren!

I'm expecting normalcy to return next season in terms of the usual suspects winning and being in the race. Brawn next season are a mixed bag, I don't think they'll be able to pull off what they've done this season though, remember they were helped hugely by Honda who really made a great car.

Congratultions to Jenson and Ross, World titles from what is basically a ramshackle team. 08 the Honda RA108 was on fire calling for the fire brigade; 09, the BGP001 was simply on fire from before day one. Best car out there bar none.

Congratulations to all involved.

On to yet another new track now, and a new season now.

Woo-hoo! Go Jense! He drove a great race.

Button is the luckiest SOB in the world!
well done to him after 10 years. I kinda wanted him to slide off in turn 1

But the race was over for ruebens with the saftey car and his sobotaged tyres at his first pit stop.
A critical part was when Alonso, Sutil and Truli went out. These 3 would definitely put Button out of the points. After they went out the gates opened for noobieville and Button zipped pass grosjean, buemi, koboyashi and whoever else.
Very lucky race, and very lucky newbie passes, but it will make a nice highlight reel so good job anyway for the best race this season.

What a drive from JB, May not of won, but he drove like a champ today!

Hats off to Red bull, that car is fast!

Jenson, Your the Champ Baby!

Green F1 idea assaulted F1 trophy.







Incredible :]

So...

Who here had money on JB to win and Brawn to win the Championships?

If so what odds did you get?

[ringo]

BMW seem to have the fastest car now; maybe they should not have sold out of F1. Gonna miss seeing my favourite car brand on the grid next year.

Great drive by JB!!!! =D>
I'm waiting for the race in Abu Dhabi and what JB can show without the pressure.

Interesting Quali and then the race today. For me the titles were decided by the FIA decision to allow double diffusors. The RBR was the better car IMO. Vettel would have been a worthy champ as well. It went against them at the green table for some very dubious reasons. But all those ifs are history. Brawn pulls off an incredible stunt to take over that team free of charge, get himself Merc engines, win the first half season and have the luck that all the races are split to many other winners. It is a fairy tale which I belive will continue very soon as the Merc works team. The Red Bulls will come back strong next year and I can't wait for the next season to see that unfold. Button made hay while the sun shone and deserves the title for making the least number of mistakes in a superior car. Next year his weakness in qualifying will probably prevent him from doing it again. Rubens was true to his old self and never won a race in Brazil. I guess he never will.

Nice win for Webber, shame he won't get much coverage over it.

Funny thing that through all that adversity the RBR is still the fastest car by half a second on most tracks; It's a nice platform to build on for next year. I think this was Vettel's best chance to win a chapionship; the car was there in 90% of the races this season. He is going to have a hard time in the next 3 years with Alonso, Massa, Hamilton, Kimi, and maybe Rosberg.
