    I think Williams is a good team to be part of. Especially so early in his career.

    Excellent from Hulkenberg, he has been showing potential this season. The 1st conner tomorrow will be very interesting.

    Disappointed that apart from Nico's team mate Ruebens, who congratulated him warmly, the other drivers just looked at him as if to say 'so what', especially Alonso. :(

    Go Nico, and seems like a great guy too ...... well I'm pleased for him. :)

    A certain Mr Schumacher also congratulated Nico with a pat on the head and the Schumacher smile.

    Well done Nico today but I don't think this will be enough to save your drive at williams and maybe your F1 career as Williams need a pay driver and you have no sponsers.

    Lewis Hamilton had 4 in his rookie season. He also almost won the title finishing 1 point behind Kimi.

    I am really pleased for Hulkenberg. I was especially pleased when he took pole back from Alonso.

    wtf, Jensen Button whilst travelling from the circuit has been attacked by armed men, but he is fine because McLaren provide him with a bullet-proof car (like those used for state-leaders). What's going on there?

    Poor Jenson. :( Luckily he was in a bullet proof car. At least nobody was hurt.
    "Vodafone McLaren Mercedes had provided both Jenson and team-mate Lewis Hamilton with reinforced armoured vehicles driven by police drivers, who had been trained in avoidance techniques and were armed.

    "The police driver of Jenson's vehicle reacted swiftly and, using avoidance techniques, rapidly forced his way through the traffic, taking Jenson and the other occupants of the car immediately away from any danger and back to their hotel."

    Such armed incidents have become a regular occurence at the Brazilian Grand Prix, although this is the first time in recent years that a current driver is believed to have faced such a danger.

    McLaren said that local officials will provide additional security for its team personnel on Sunday.

    The driver floored it and hit several cars, bouncing off them. Something out of James Bond. He called the driver a legend.

    What's going on is exactly the same as if he was driving through south London. Lots of poor people/criminals who will do their best to take whatever you have by any means possible.

    Glad to hear Jenson is ok.

    Onto the race today, got a strong feeling Lewis is going to win and I dont really have anything to back that up with.

    Really cant see Vettel and Webber finishing the race, gotta say Webber is most likely to make an error if im honest.

    So im going for 1. Hamilton 2. Vettel 3. Alonso. Webber DNF

    which would leave the standings as

    Alonso 246
    Hamilton 235 (-11)
    Vettel 224 (-22)
    Webber 220 (-26)

    Meaning a podium in abu dhabi would seal the deal for Alonso.

    Personally I think if it was down to Alonso v Hamilton in Abu Dhabi that would be an awesome end to an awesome season. No offense red bull fans:D

    That would make a great end to the season (as long as Lewis wins though!). If Lewis doesn't win the championship, then I'd rather it was one of the Red Bulls than Alonso.
