F1 championship done and dusted
« on: 12 September 2011, 15:33:54 »

Vettel may as well be crowned world champion now as there's no chance of anyone getting close to him now unless something causes him not to race for the remaining races. ::) Trouble is, when he gets out in front he's just untouchable in the Red Bull car. It's like a repeat of the Schumacher years when he won almost every pole and race for a few years. Good job there's still a bit of decent action going on behind him though.

I'm a Hamilton fan, but Button's pass was excellent, he passed them and might as well have said "that's how it's done Lewis, now eat my dust"

Agreed but bear in mind Ross Brawn did just warn Schumacher not to weave anymore just before Button passed. Hamilton had to put up with Scunis weaving for a good few laps.

Exactly what I said when he got past Schumi. :y Button reckons his one of his best ever overtakes and I'm not sure I'd disagree!! He seems to be getting better as he gets older. :y

Good point, Hamilton ended up on the grass at stupid MPH because of Scumachers antics in front of him.When he blatantly broke the "one move" rule, why did he not get a stop/go ?
Anyone else would have done.
Hamiltons car also seemed to be set up wrong as he was hitting the rev limiter half way along the pit straight.
Hes the best driver of this generation imo. If the cars were all the same my money would be on Hamilton every time.
Fairly enjoyable to watch yesterday, because it was at Monza. A proper racetrack, even if it has been partially nuetered by silly chicanes.

Apparently something to do with the gearbox ratio setup according to Brundle. :-/

His bosses certainly think so,seems that they are trying to keep him for the remainder of his career.Funny innit,everyone thought Lewis would eat him for breakfast in the same car :y

Generally speaking, he has. But Hamilton has had a pretty poor season this year.Some of it of his own making,some of it not. ;)

He's getting Frustrated not being at the front & winning. He needs to calm down a bit I think

He did exactly that yesterday - seemed very lacklustre compared to his usual aggressive style. It's my guess he actually wanted to finish a race!! ::)

Just look at that prick Alonso, did I mention he was a prick? He has done bugger all in the way of winning to speak of, but like a bad smell he is hanging around the top of the championship because of consistency finishing 3-5th ish  :(

If Vettel clinches it in 2 weeks, does that mean the end of the season? Or do we still have to endure the tedium of this false racing?
