So glad I stayed up and watched the race although I wanted ALO to win the WDC, I'm rapt Mclaren/Button managed to get a win in the final race. ALO did everything he possibly could but VET just managed to get up those few positions to score enough points to JUST stay ahead of ALO.

The race had everything in it, was an amazing race, and VET did well to go from spinning on the first lap to 24th to finishing 6th and securing his third WDC. I recommend watching the race for anyone that is remotely a F1 fan, although we know the result, hands down best race of the season IMHO.

Was a great race.

I am not really a Vettel or Alonso fan, so i wasn't to concerned with who ended up with the WDC crown.

What I did enjoy was having an the pressure of the WDC giving us an interesting race with close racing,
the intermittent rain just to keep everyone guessing about grip and seeing Hulkenberg leading the race
for a number of laps.

It was a really enjoyable finish to the season.

This is the reason the guy is a champ. That race was insane. Last laps were a bit of an anti-climax though and i feel sorry for Button as i feel the WDC stripped the glory from his win.

Was interesting seeing Alonso glaring from his Helmet. Very happy for Massa on the podium.

And FFS i hate those live post race interviews. Could see Alonso almost want to smack Piquet asking those fumbling bloody questions. What the hell was Piquet on??

I am over the moon for Caterham - 11th to steal back the 10th place and all the $$ for constructors.

Insane race, so much going on.

Alonso's stare at the end - the look of a shattered man.

Goodbye Schumi - your contribution to the sport was incredible. Good and bad.

Good bye Lewis @ macca, and what a sad way to go out. I have no idea how Mercedes will go, but I hope your immense talent is not wasted.

Incredible year - best ever F1 season?

Was shouting in joy at the TV when Vettel spun, but then i remembered his drive in Abu Dhabi...

Awesome race though....although i don't like Vettel, was another amazing drive...

Tremendous achievement for RBR & Vettel for bagging up the triple double.

Another awsome quote by Kimi.

"Where I went off you can get back on the track by going through the support race pit lane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year I’ll make sure it’s open again."
