Nothing wrong with the plan from a Red Bull perspective....they made Alonso respond immediately. Looks like a Vettel championship at the moment...exciting stuff though :)

can't see vettel losing title from here... don't like the guy, but have to admit he's going to be a deserving champion.

Very boring race not much overtaking. Very poor effort by webber, having the fastest car and sitting in 9th is quite disgraceful. Vettel has taught him a lesson the last few weeks.

Vettels done it. World champ 2010. Webber 3rd overall but disappointing this week, to have the fastest car and to finish 8th behind some lesser cars juat not good enough. Only got himself to blame

Disappointing by Webber but well done to Vettel. Very deserving winner for mine.

Always disappointing when the best driver doesnt win the title. Alonso was unlucky to lose by 4 pts with a vastly inferior car was a great effort. Put him in a red bull and he would have been champ 6 weeks ago. Best driver by a bit for me. Hopefully vettel is a one year wonder. Red bull way too superior this year, hopefully with new rule changes and technology a couple of other teams step up next year.

Not in f1 the best car usually wins. The red bills were that superior this season. Alonso did a fantastic job in a car clearly below par. If alonso had driven for red bull he would have won title easy. Just my opinion but have been fortunate enough to attend a heap of f1 all around the world and if all drivers were in equal cars id have money on alonso just over hamilton and button

Yeah Dead right there. Plenty of good drivers that unfortunately will never get a crack at the title because they drive in mediocre teams. Kubica looks like going to ferrari so he might get a shot next year. I liked the concept allan jones had with the A1 dream. All cars equal and let the best man win. Id pay top dollars to watch that in F1

so would i, I love F1 but i just dont like it how evedry race 24 drivers start on the grid but really only about 5 of them will win throughout the whole season. and everything always relys on qualifying and pit stops. Id love to see cars overtaking all the time not just on the first lap or a lapped car.

Last night was worst for long time. Can only remember 5 or 6 overtakes for whole race. Too much reliance on qualifying and pit strategies.

Agree about Kubica, he put that Renault further up than it should have ever been this year. Not so sure about Rosberg though. IIRC Webber spanked him when they were teamed up at Williams. Nico has been in F1 for 5 seasons now, so he's no spring chicken either. Sure he beat a washed up 40y.o. MSC, but..

On some bright news from an Aussie perspective:
