Well clearly the drivers (bar Di Resta
) could deal with the conditions well enough. Otherwise they would switch to wets and then if they still couldn't they would then start asking Charlie for a safety car.From the BBC: There have been some suggestions that Sebastian Vettel may have passed Kamui Kobayashi when yellow lights were flashing. Ferrari technical director Pat Fry says it appears they were yellow and red slippery track flags and not yellows. Therefore, no penalty required.

The weather was NOT that bad. And it's not for the race stewards to decide the teams are being dangerous to themselves by not going onto full wets, not that they really were.
This is desperate stuff.

Like it or not, Massa's improvement in results, culminated in Alonso have to drive harder to maintain any chance. At Valencia., it seemed Ferrari were at the front in performance and able to look to control things to some degree. Whether the subsequent changes associated with trying to bring Massa to the fore, were intact too detrimental and thus went too far away from suiting Alonso. Just wonder if Massa will be as close at the start of next year, or the design concentrated towards giving the no.1 all they have.

Besides, it was dangerous. There was a lot of debris on the track and one driver had already picked up a puncture. It needed to be cleared and the only way of doing so safely was a safety car. |

The weather was WORSE than when they brought out the original safety car, so ultimately the point remains that they should have brought it out again BEFORE Di Resta crashed if they are being consistent

I'm sure they said they're showing every race live next year.
But since it looks like there is only going to be 19 races there will only be 9 live races on the BBC and 10 races shown in highlights form. |

I think it just said you can watch the whole championship on the BBC. Which is how they worded this year's coverage

Another tension filled finale, Alonso was brilliant but pipped to the post by Vettel who just did enough to bag a third title.
This has to be a golden era for F1, there's just so many brilliant drivers out there. |

Two exciting races to end the season.
Have we now, as one German leaves, found another one to hate for taking Lewis out.

The BBC guys were also saying that Kobayashi might have received a "drive through" but then he passed Vettel so didn't get one, while Hulkenburg got one for making a genuine error (which by complete coincidence helped Alonso). |

My favourite part of the day though, was Kimi combining his love of F1 with his love of rallying and going 'off-road' for quite some time!! Still managed to be 3rd overall and that from a 'lesser' car is a major feat especially in your first year back.

What a season.
People always say the one who wins it, deserves it. But I really have to say Alonso was the driver of the year and deserved the championship more for me. His Ferrari was conistantly only the 3rd/4th sometimes 5th fastest car all season pretty much. I remember in pre season there was talk of it being the worst ferrari in 20 years. I cant help thinking that no other driver would have got that many points in that car. Whilst Lewis can match and maybe beat Fernando in pure speed, he is inferior in racecraft, management and keeping a cool head, no one on the grid has his consistancy. Hopefully Ferrari will get their act together for next season beacuse as Fernando said today, with the fastest car the championship would be won with races to spare. |

![]() Whether HRT will be back next is not known yet known. ___ On to the overtake of Kobayashi by Vettel, those flags were not yellows, they were orange (red and yellow) warning the drivers that the track was slippery. So the overtake was legal. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/j...t_kob_ipad.jpg [Credit to DavePusey for this image] |
