Well Donington seem to have shot themselves in the foot, thank heavens, just need to see Silverstone get a long term deal now :thumb:
Jean Todt has got the Presidency of the FIA, no surprise there.
Jenson Button may be linked to McLaren alongside Lewis, if Brawn can't pay him what he is now worth :duh: I want him to stay at Brawn to be honest but there is no guarantee they will carry on in the same vane next season so a move might be on the cards.
Have looked at the Abu Dahbi circuit and it looks like a bag of crap, really glad the title isn't being decided there as I think it will be a dull race :mad: two long straights, one fast corner and the rest is Mickey Mouse 2nd gear rubbish. Glad they have decided to switch the dates of Brazil and Abu Dahbi around for next season, at least if it goes to the wire we will finish at a decent circuit.
Looking forward to the final race non the less, safe in the knowledge that we have a British F1 Champion :thumb:

Well after watching practice for Abu Dahbi I may have been a little unkind saying it was rubbish. Seems to be a bit quicker than the earlier footage but I still think there will be very few places to overtake and it will be a dull race, I hope I'm proved wrong.
If Jarno Trulli and Adrian Sutil qualify next to each other it might be interesting though, we could have handbags at dawn as their personal tiff has carried over from Brazil :biggrin:
McLarens seem to like the circuit and Jenson is looking good, would be nice to see Jenson and Lewis have a good fight throughout the race and be great if Jenson could get on the top step to round off a great season :hattip:

Well I wasn't wrong unfortunately, fantastic facility but missed the opportunity to create an exciting circuit :frown:
I only counted two overtakes throughout the race and even Jenson couldn't do Webber in the only exciting part of the race (the last two laps) It was nice to see Jenson get on the podium and able to celebrate his title in the spotlight. Many congratulations to Sebastian Vettle and Mark Webber for a fantastic 1-2 and Christian Horner ( Red Bull team boss) who happens to live in my home town.
I have been impressed by Kamui Kobayashi, looks like another real racer and wouldn't be surprised to see him snapped up, if not by Toyota then another team :hattip:
Overall it has been an interesting season with Brawn stealing a march on the other teams at the beginning and the other teams doing a fantastic job and improving massively through the second half to bring the fight back to them. I am delighted for Jenson for clinching the title he richly deserves after so long with a dog of a car, that was the Honda.
Next season will be interesting with new teams and no re fuelling and I really hope that Silverstone will be on the calendar. We must have a British GP if only in memory of Tom Wheatcroft (the owner of Donington) who sadly passed away today RIP Tom :frown:
Roll on 14th March and Bahrain
