    Button right behind Hamilton. Just one race win's points behind him in the championship, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Button does against Hamilton next year.

    Did it in Valencia and Japan this year, dunno about last year but he did it in Italy in 2008 as well.

    Oh ok. I think it was more a case of his lack of conversions.

    Dissapointed for Webber and for Alonso (his teams fault) but at least I won some money on Vettel. He was 11/1 a couple of weeks ago! :)

    Ooh bad loser Alonso!

    That's only Button's 2nd podium in the last 10 races I think.

    Cool to see the last three champions all on the podium.

    He shook is hand at Petrov and Petrov put his hands up as if to say "huh?". Petrov then turned towards Alonso a little, I thought (more hoped) that he was going to ram Alonso.

    Seems from Alonsos interview he was annoyed at Petrov aggressive defence when Nando tried to pass him.

    Seemed pretty content with losing the championship.

    Why did Alonso think he had a right to get past the Renaults? If you can't get past them then your clearly not fast enough.

    ...and his "interview" with the Red Bull boss. Don't think he actually asked a question.

    He'd calmed down by the time he met the press, had a few of the Ferrari lads calming him down.

    Mad race, bad call by Ferrari, wanted Alonso to win it but it wasn't his year, Ill put a few bob on him for next year though.

    Happy for Vettel, although wasn't a fan of seeing Marko on the podium with him.

    Red Bull have clearly had the fastest car this year so its only right that they get the championships really, its mad that it went down to the last race though.

    This ain't NASCAR alas. :P

    I wonder how Kubica will be next year, I'd say he'd be a decent early shout for an outside bet for the title.

    From what I seen it wasn't really calming down from them, he had just lost a championship so his team was around him supporting him. He didn't look too angry.

    I'm surprised Alonso didn't spend half the latter stages of the race whining on the radio back to the team...

    I am absolutely stunned that Webber has just described Vettel's win as a team effort too! No congrats either - Sour Grapes...

    I think eddie jordan made a good point about Mark making the mistake in Korea, put him on the back foot

    Every year I think he will do well but either he never has the car to challenge or he only turns up for certain races, I would have Button ahead of him as an outsider. Hopefully next years Pirelli's don't have too much of an influence and we get another fairly even season like this year. I wouldn't be surprised if the top 4 are battling it out again.
