I'm loving how the points have ended up for this year. Makes for an exciting finish.

Yesterday's race should have started earlier though.

It was hillarious to hear the scripted comments over the radio from the teams. RBR weren't keen on racing and wanted to finish straight after lap 42 once Vettel had full points. Others like Hamilton wanted to race and keep racing.

Given the RBR engine couldn't last race distance, will there be issues for them in the next races?

Personally (and yes I am a McLaren fan) I would love to see Hamilton win the next race (or even someone not in contention for the championship) just to have it all come down to the last race.

Will be interesting to see how Alonso goes now that all of his engines are surely reaching the end of their useful life. If he has to put a new one in at a penalty of 10 spots it will make for an interesting couple of races.

Alonso crashed @ the start in Brazil last year & Webber ended up Winning.

Lets hope this is repeated.

Engine & Gearbox stats Here

Webber has a very low mileage engine ( thanks to this weekends cockup ) to do two races.

Vettel shouldn't have an issue although they will be thinking hard about which engines they will be re-using.

Alonso Really will be pushing it to make the end of the season with his 8. Personally I think he might be better taking the penalty in Brazil and having a new engine that they can run hard for 2 races rather than get caught with a blow up.

Hammy and Button should not have and issue but will be re using engines.

Webber & Alonso should both have a new Gearbox in Brazil. The other 3 need to last till the end of the year on current ones.

Yep his 1:14:xxx was AFTER he had already secured P1 too as he got one extra lap right at the end compared to others, on a slippery track less than 5 minutes after everyone switched to (soft) dry tyres. Very well done, not an ounce of fear

Predictions:
1) Hamilton
2) Vettel
3) Webber
4) MSC

Good on him! My prediction is also Hamilton. Especially if the tracks going to be slippery
