I agree.

Although, I was kinda hoping they would be able to fix his car in the pits, because it would have been a really interesting race to see him try and fight back from being last in the field.

Can't believe someone else won a race

You don't really get the likes of Vettel, Button, Hamilton, Alonso, Webber (ie the only podium drivers in the last 15 races) having to battle their way through the field much anymore, especially from the back

I just wiah most of the cars would be on a more level playing field but that just won't happen, though you can't deny Vettel is one great driver

Seabastian Vettel just broke Nigel Mansell's long standing record for most pole positions in a year! He got 15 Pole positions this year out of the 19...mesmerizing to say the least 8-)

I thought it was a great end to the season. A solid race that showed some great driving from a lot of drivers.

VERY pleased for Webber. He's my favourite driver and drove a great race, deserving to win after putting in fastest lap after fastest lap.

Great finish for Button too - he's been a consistently great driver this season but always seems to be overshadowed by Hamilton for some reason. Button comes across as a proper gent too.

Also great for Force India getting both cars in the Top 10, and Sauber for pipping Toro Rosso to the post in the Constructors Championship. Good drive from Barrichello - I hope he doesn't leave F1, he seems like the nicest guy in the field.

Overall, I think this season has shown some really great driving. It's a shame Vettel got carried away with the winning 'cos it could've been a really tight battle otherwise. Roll on March 2012!!

Great to see that Webber finally won this year, just hope that next season won't be dominated by any driver and that there will be a lot more different winners.. Great result for Sutil, I hoped that Heidfeld will stay in top 10 in overall standing but Sutil has overtake him and Petrov

Can't believe it that Renault only scored 7 points since Nick left the team, that saying everything..

Decent race to end the season at one of my favourite circuits, relieved to see a new winner in 2011!

Schumacher involved in another incident but this time it's not his fault!! I'd like to see Rubens stay in F1, he is one lovely guy (you never hear/read anything negative about him)

Force India have really improved throughout the 2nd half of the season more than anyone, as for Renault it's all gone horribly wrong

Let's hope next year won't be a 1 man show, there have been too many races this year where the winner just drove off into the distance

The team was going downhill when Nick was still there, it has nothing to do with Nick. Overall, I think Bruno Senna put in some great qualifying times but, for some reason, hasn't had great race consistency but he's fresh and new.

I think Schumi should just retire already. I appreciate he still has a strong passion for F1 but he's passed his prime. I'd give his seat to Sutil, and keep Di Resta at Force India with Hulkenberg.

Yes they went downhill when Nick was there still.. but he always puts stronger performances in races.. They would have definitely more points now if he stayed in team..

But now they have more fans following them thanks to Bruno

That's the truth, but i'm not sure how safe Bruno is there for next year..

I don't think he's 100% better yet plus I heard that he had fallen out with Renault/Lotus F1.

Last FM <3 · by **Ivica** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:51 pm

I have heard that he's not interested to drive for Renault anymore, he's now waiting for Ferrari seat..

I hope that Nick can grab one of those seats (preferable in Force India)

by **Play** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:59 pm

I hope Petrov won't be in Renault next year...too much Vodka would be flowing in the team then!

Hopefully Hulkenberg will find a seat for himself

Romain Grosjean has returned to drive for Renault (Lotus) next year

If he and Kimi are their drivers then, where does Kubica fit in all this?? Sounds to me he won't be driving for them again

I think it's safe to say that he won't be returning to F1 any time soon.

Feel a bit sorry for Algueshuari and Sutil - both decent drivers but neither of whom seem to have secured a seat for next year.

Is Kimi really coming back

In a Renault! I used to love Kimi. He seemed fearless.
I'd love if Kimi, Alonso and Webber had great seasons.

On another note I watch the Senna film recently. I don't know much about Senna until I saw the film. He was cool

Seemed to be so much politics in the sport then. He won against the odds.

yep Kimi is really back
