    F1 - So, who are you wanting to win?

    Who do you want to take the title, or are you just not bothered?

    Ive got to say I'd like Alonso to pull out a miracle, I've warmed to him this season

    I would like Alonso to do it as well. He has out performed his car this year.
    The mighty Leedsnum has gone but the Airtrek mods will soon fill this space

    Now if that happened every week, it may be worth watching occasionally. Well done Jenson.

    Vettel deserved the title after that race.
    And they had the weber giving up 4th place Or stopping option if they needed it.
    Great race

    Well done button

    But that race summed up Hamilton luck for this year. Is that the 4th or 5th time this year that he was in a race winning position, and due to no fault of his own, he has been taken out of the race.

    Bummer for Lewis. Not sure how easy it would have been for him - JB was on a par for most of the race, but he certainly had a good chance. Was it Sods Law that the BBC gave Hulkenburg the "Overtake of the Year" award before the race?!

    Great to see JB take the win.

    I think I would have preferred Alonso to win, simply due to the way he has outperformed his car all year. Vettel could make this sport as boring as Schumacher did - lets hope Red Bull aren't able to take any titles next year!

    True but I did grin with alonso crying in the podium but hey I'm twisted!! Hoping Lewis's car is competitive for him next year but he will do well whatever he drives to an extent

    this is an intesting development in this story.

    so could red bull find something wrong with mark webbers car or some thing he did during the race to get him disqualified. which would bump vettel back up a place.

    FIA just made final decision: no further action. Vettel stays champion.

    Good right choice in my opinion! alonso did bloody well considering the car lacked in a lot of races but he's still a mule!
