Sebastian Vettel was surprisingly slow in qualifying, and Fernando Alonso was about his usual Saturday pace. With the two championship contenders close together, the battle is on to see what can be done in the race. McLaren have locked out the front row, and there's a fierce competition there too - Hamilton will want to win his final race with the team, Button is likely to want to take victory for himself. There's something for everyone to watch throughout the entire field, it's going to be brilliant!
There's an hour to go before the racing starts, and everyone has their eye on the weather conditions over the track. So far, dry, but rain isn't an impossibility.
The permutations, courtesy of the BBC: "Alonso must at least finish on the podium to have a chance of winning the title. Alonso wins the title if he wins and Vettel finishes lower than fourth. Second for Alonso means, Vettel must finish below seventh. Third would require Vettel to finish 10th or lower."
Tweet from @alo_oficial: For some reason we are fighting the world championship that logic would say was impossible. Enjoy today and whatever happens.. Thank you all
Pastor Maldonado did qualify in sixth place, but picked up a reprimand for missing the weighbridge in qualifying. Three reprimands this year, and that turns into a ten place grid drop.
Tweet from @Official_SF1Team: There are more and more dark clouds ... Track temperature is 25 degrees, air temp is 20 with increasing humidity (63 %). Will it rain?
Interview with Sebastian Vettel: "There might be some excitement during the race with showers, we don't know. Maybe even now. We'll have to take it as it comes. I think we have a great car, we were competitive all weekend, McLaren may be a bit faster but in race pace we know it can be a bit closer."
Interview with Fernando Alonso: "We know that in normal conditions fighting for the championship would be very difficult. Rain, no rain, whatever happens it will come. It's very difficult to change now, destiny, let's say. I hope people will enjoy. To have any chance we need to be on the podium and we start seventh... it's out of our hands probably."
As well as Maldonado further down the order, Romain Grosjean is also starting in the mix. He had a collision with an HRT during qualifying which means he starts 18th.
Another battle to look out for is with the "new" teams. Marussia have that coveted tenth place in the standings, with Caterham desperate to take it back.
Michael Schumacher starts his last race before his second (and probably last!) retirement. He didn't have a great qualifying, 13th on the grid, but there's talk of a wet setup for the Mercedes.
Tweet from @radarguruf1: #F1 radar 13:26 BRST: No change. The radar is clear to the west and south-west. Outside chance of drizzle during the race. Should stay dry.
The only real concern that Red Bull have at the moment, barring any unforseen crashing, is the reliability of the Renault alternators. They've had more than their fair share of retirements at the hands of those pesky pieces, including Mark Webber last weekend.
Michael Schumacher had a quick pit stop there for the team to secure a flag to the side of the car - it's got some chequered stripes on and reads "Thank you."
Interview with Hamilton on the grid: "It's going to be a tough race, we don't know what the weather is going to do. Almost every year I've come here, it's decided to rain on the grid. Who knows what will happen in the next five minutes. Trying to keep the emotions out of it at the moment, concentrate on the job."
Interview with Jenson Button: "We both did a good job in qualifying, the car felt really good, a lot of fun to drive. The weather is all over the place, but that's pretty normal here. As soon as the cars come out, and the fumes, it brings the rain."
Interview with Nico Rosberg: "It was okay, top ten, we're looking quite okay for race pace if it stays dry especially. On Friday I could keep up with the guys in front, maybe I can get some points today."
More Vettel radio, describes the data from the car as okay. And he sets the fastest lap of the race so far - early days of course, but the Red Bull might be okay.
Replays show Alonso was close to spinning but fought the car to remain pointing in the right direction. It could have been more costly. For now, he's fourth.
Hamilton's instructed he'll need to keep his tyres for the next 30 minutes as the rain is expected to continue, but Lewis says they're already finished.
After an exceptionally long chase up the hill and down the main straight, Kimi refuses to back down an overtake on Schumacher and gets the final points position.
Interview with Bruno Senna: "Had a good start, everything was go well. I was beside of Di Resta into turn four. Vettel just went straight across the track from his position, hit me and there was nothing to do. Pretty big hit and damaged the car too much."
Tweet from @OfficialSF1Team: #Checo is back. He says he doesn't really know himself what happened after start. He went to the inside to avoid others and then got hit
Interview with Sergio Pérez: "Very sad, I just run into turn four, I had a really godo start, gaining some positions into the first corner. I was on in the inside to try and avoid contact, and then everyone came into me - Bruno and Sebastian. Very sad way to end the season like that, I hope Kamui can keep this up for the team."
Replays show it was Räikkönen who ran wide off track, massively wide, navigating onto the old circuit. He had to spin round and come all the way back, run over the grass and continue up the hill.
Hülkenberg was making a move on Hamilton, and there was a Caterham in the way into turn one. Hulk had the inside but couldn't control it into turn one, losing control and sliding into Lewis.
Vettel's stop was massively long, they didn't have the tyres ready for him. It took a mechanic ages to unwrap the intermediates and get the car going again.
The switch happens at Ferrari, with Alonso moving past Massa to second place. This is where Ferrari need to be, but Vettel is still in the points and leading the championship.
Also worth pointing out that Vitaly Petrov finished the race 11th for Caterham, giving them that crucial tenth place in the championship. Pic was 12th.
Button and Alonso are already at the pre-podium room, putting on their hats and chatting calmly. Alonso looks glum but okay. Vettel needs to jog to the podium now, with a wave to the fans.
Podium quotes - Jenson Button: "First of all, I want to congratulate the whole team. This is the perfect way for us to end the season. We started on a high, we had ups and downs, to end on a high is fantastic. It bodes very well for 2013, so congratulations guys. We fought for second in the constructors today, but these two were just a little bit too strong. Thank you very much."
Podium quotes - Fernando Alonso: "First of all, I feel very proud of my team, of the season we did. We lost the championship now, but I don't think we lost it here in Brazil, we lost it in some races where we were a bit unlucky. But this is a sport, when you do something with your heart, when you do something 100% you have to be proud. Proud of my team, happy for them and we will try next year."
Podium quotes - Felipe Massa: "I think the second part of the year was preparation for next year. It's such emotions to race here. I think the race was really fantastic. It could have been a better position than what I finish. Anyway, I don't know what to say, I'm just crying, I don't know what to feel. It's just fantastic."
So, that's it. 2012 is Red Bull's year in both the driver and constructor standings. An incredible year of racing comes to a close with an outstanding race in Brazil.
It's time to hunker down for the winter, take stock and recharge the batteries for next year, because hey, there's only 111 days and 11 hours until Australia.
As the build-up to the race continues we want to take this chance to thank each & every one of our fans for your unwavering support.

would like it more if you keep Heikki, the man who gave us credibility and committment since day 1
ill be with you if Heikki stays, if not so long
If Heikki leaves so will the majority of the fans!
Heikki is the soul of Caterham.

Jay25/11/2012 at 13:43:25
I personally liked them bringing the Lotus name back, and sympathised with their dispute with Notus over it. But Heikki helps, aye.
HRT were always going to have an uphill struggle fighting against Alonso for home publicity and sponsors. Marussia? Nice colour scheme but seem to just quietly pluck away at the back, feel more corporate. Not a bad thing, but not as endearing.
Do you know what? It's getting cloudier. We're going to be playing this game all afternoon, aren't we?
Yes. Yes we are...

Afternoon all. For some reason this doesn't seem like a championship decider to me. There doesn't seem to be any of the tension that normally goes with a final race decider. Maybe that is because all I have seen all weekend is Q3 though. Does anyone else feel the same?

Feels to me more as if the tension seems to be over the weather rather than the title...
I guess that is one way of getting a few quid back on merchandise that may be burned.

I don't see any tension but mostly because I think it's a foregone conclusion. Mostly just excitement at it being Brazil/Last race/Championship.

I felt that way until right now when suddenly we have two double world champions and nobody has any clue what the weather will do. Until now I assumed it would be a Vettel walkover because Alonso needs to do too much. But now it is Interlagos and it might rain and anything can happen.

People can never be seen in black or white. He's imperfect, that is very much true, but that also fails to give Michael credit for everything else he's done.
If someone behaves like a thug and puts other drivers' lives at risk that is what should be in focus. That is what is important. The fact he won races, rescued a dog in Brazil or got all emotional over 9/11 are incidental. He thought other people's lives were less important than him winning a motor race. I have no idea how someone as intelligent as you can support someone with those morals

So how does that make him any different to, say, Senna, who did the same thing? End of the day, if the drivers respect him - and they're the ones on the track, shouldn't you respect him too?

The difference is Senna did it once. And until Schumacher started making a habit of it I always described that move as the most stupidly dangerous move anyone ever made in motor racing.
Prost and Senna became very personal and that is why what happened happened.
Schumacher on the other hand just didn't care about anyone else. You just have to look at everything Rubens did for Schumacher yet Schumacher had no compunction about sticking him in the wall at Hungary. Senna did one stupid, dangerous, inexcusable thing. Schumacher had a whole career full of them. How many times did he pull the Schumacher chop off the grid? That is the difference
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 15:06:50

Hello lurkers. We like people to come and talk to us. Everyone here except the management were lurkers at one point and all we did was post one comment and we ended up becoming friends with all these nice people. We don't just talk about every subject under the sun here. Some people havegone to races as a group. We regularly meet up at the Goodwood Festival of Speed etc.
So sitting back reading this without commenting means you are not just missing getting your point across but you will miss a good few days out with a bunch of great people too.
That's what I'm using... I have just used it on my iPhone (which ran out of batteries), my iPad which I couldn't get set up the way I really wanted, and now on my mac.
Just want to say how much I love the notifications, I can move away from the comments & still see the conversation & FBFB, fabulous

Once? Estoril 88 comes to mind along with Suzuka 90. So twice at least.

You just have to look at everything Rubens did for Schumacher yet Schumacher had no compunction about sticking him in the wall at Hungary. Senna did one stupid, dangerous, inexcusable thing. Schumacher had a whole career full of them. How many times did he pull the Schumacher chop off the grid? That is the difference
I have a genuine belief that he didn't think was really risking their lives all that much. Probably a silly belief, but then I remember that Michael pretty much did the same thing to Ralf in Europe 2001 - and that's his own brother.
And I remember Michael was asked about the chopping in 2000, as well, and he had a very good point. His was very visible because he was always at the front, but it also happens a great deal in the midfield.
Anyway, let's end this discussion here. The guy is retiring, and there is a title battle to get excited about.

Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 15:36:46
just to clarify, Pastor moves into the second ten but has to use his Q3 tyres, right?

No idea. I used to know the majority of the rules but there are so many stupid complications that I don't even try or care any more

Merc 7+8 (If Lewis takes his finishing position)
No he can't. 1-2 is reserved for team of the defending driver champion. 3 on down is based on constructors finishing order.

I'm not sure if it was explained but Damon said he'd spoken to a former Ferrari driver on the condition of anonymity, and he said Ferrari would try everything to make their man win.
Christine25/11/2012 at 15:45:07

Presumably you mean Rob's wife and not Martin's. That's how rumours start!
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 15:45:19
I watched Thank You For Smoking last night - Smedley reminds me of Aaron Eckhart

I'm not sure we needed a former Ferrari driver to tell us that.

It was Rob's wife. Apparently he texts her before every race as a good luck thing. He looked thoroughly embarrassed then Martin asked him if he wanted to say something to her on air and he went redder than his shirt

Ha. I thought Vettel would wait for Alonso to be passing to stage a crash.

Now that is a possibility. Shame Pastor got the penalty or he would have been right behind Vettel. Imagine trying to sleep knowing you have Alonso's team mate beside you and Pastor behind you

Vertical red and yellow stripes. It's the slippery surface flag because the track is wet.

Doubt it / definitely not

No, FIA can apply "common sense" if bits have fallen off due to damage

oooooh, Rosberg took the fall for JB...

Duct tape and cable ties.

Hilariously, Kovi now in 16th and Glock in 12th!
Ryan25/11/2012 at 16:41:13
Just to get me head around it, 4th is 12 points yes? So Kobi needs to finish 3rd and hope Rosberg and Schumacher don't score?

Yup. Safety car means Mercs have a shot at scoring points though, especially Schumacher.

Yup. Safety car means Mercs have a shot at scoring points though, especially Schumacher.
Just understanding permatations, in the event I prematurely celebrate Kobi finishing 4th.

Alex Andronov25/11/2012 at 16:44:40
I can confirm if people aren't sure. You only don't have to use both dry tyres if you yourself used a kind of wet tyre.

Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 16:45:36
I can confirm if people aren't sure. You only don't have to use both dry tyres if you yourself used a kind of wet tyre.
And the only people who have not used wet tyres are JB and Hulk and they have used both slick compounds so no-one has to pit again for tyres.

Also, it's not Dan's fault that Vettel damaged his car and is a slow snail :)

There's only normal overtaking now. I'm bored.

felipe goes past, overtakes everyone than backs them into Alonso.

Crofty pointing out that as the track drys it puts Vettel is a bad situation handling wise.

Bruno with Lee on the beeb.

Ooh I think I caught up with comments.
Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 17:02:26
at the risk of angry responses... has he really had that good of a season?
First half was good. If you look at the points charts for the two FI drivers Paul has the lead for most of the season. Last half dozen races have been terrible. He was interviewed yesterday and says he is struggling because of his smooth driving style. Hulk is a bit more Hamilton than Button and that seems to suit the car/tyres
lou25/11/2012 at 17:02:27
this has possibily been the best hour of F1 racing i have ever seen... ever.
Mike25/11/2012 at 17:02:29
Bruno blames Seb
Mike25/11/2012 at 17:02:47
Bruno blames Seb
rightly so I might add
Lukeh25/11/2012 at 17:02:59
di Resta gets Schumi
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:03:15
Schu well and truly being shoved aside by the new guard
Mike25/11/2012 at 17:03:26
First FI win since Jordan if this continues
rethymno racer25/11/2012 at 17:03:30
Bland last race for Schumi so far
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:03:31
Alonso falling back from that precious podium now
Journeyer25/11/2012 at 17:03:35
Schu well and truly being shoved aside by the new guard
What does that make Rosberg, then...?
Lukeh25/11/2012 at 17:03:52
First FI win since Jordan if this continues
coincidentally that was fisichella, who almost got FI's first win in... 2008?
Mike25/11/2012 at 17:03:59
Is Vijay in Brazil? I hope not!
Amy25/11/2012 at 17:03:59
this has possibily been the best hour of F1 racing i have ever seen... ever.
do you still watch jensons win in monaco? i seem to recall a time you watched it daily :D
lou25/11/2012 at 17:04:02
We've come along way since the days that the Red Bulls used to fall to pieces/ explode whenever they felt like it..

he seems lost. I'm glad there's a reason like driving style, though, Steven.
lou25/11/2012 at 17:05:04
do you still watch jensons win in monaco? i seem to recall a time you watched it daily :D
hehe... occasionally :D i also have most of JBs wins on dvd and recorded so they sometimes get put on while doing sketchbook work... kinda hoping i'll get this one too :D
Bassano25/11/2012 at 17:05:05
Hope Hulk's bonus scheme is a good one
Mark25/11/2012 at 17:05:13

No, Raikkonen beat him at Spa in the end.
Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 17:05:23
he seems lost. I'm glad there's a reason like driving style, though, Steven.
I said at the start of the season that I expected Hulk to have the upper hand and I was suprised it was not the case for a large part of the season
Lukeh25/11/2012 at 17:05:26
No, Raikkonen beat him at Spa in the end.
That's what I mean, he almost got the win
Alex Andronov25/11/2012 at 17:05:28

guille230625/11/2012 at 17:05:38
alonso needs the rain to come back, his mediums won't go to the end
Journeyer25/11/2012 at 17:05:39
Hope Hulk's bonus scheme is a good one
If Willi Weber negotiated his contract before he and Hulk parted ways, I'm sure it will be great.
Nick25/11/2012 at 17:05:42
Is Vijay in Brazil? I hope not!
Im sure his airline will get him there in a hurry!
I think my live timing is telling lies - Hulk is still running?
Mike25/11/2012 at 17:26:07
Oh come on, how can Hulk get a penalty for that and Seb doesn't for hitting Senna?!
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:26:08
Massa will let him through
Kai25/11/2012 at 17:26:08
Drive through for HULK!?
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:26:13
What is happening

Button still on dry tyres. #Hero

Whoever wins the championship today deserves it. Holding everything together today!!!
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:26:26
Hulk penalty and Massa gift could switch it back?

Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 17:26:47
I think it is a bit harsh to penalise Hulk for that. That was a racing incident in very difficult conditions. No way is it worth a penalty

The F1 2012 season might surpass Buffy season 6 as the best box set ever,

Amazing overtake by Alonso there ;)

6
Lukeh25/11/2012 at 17:33:48
oh an, it could be just 1 point to vettel if it ends like this
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:33:56
Vettel only ONE place above the threshold

Enough for Vettel to take the title if Alonso doesn't win.
lou25/11/2012 at 17:34:08
Alonso needs two more points!!!!
Well you're gonna have to catch JB...
Ryan25/11/2012 at 17:34:09
I think the BBC gave the overtake of the season too soon after that pass.
Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 17:34:14
Although clearly the inside line didn't have much grip
He didn't need that much grip. Heikki was going wide so Hulk could not have passed him on the outside. Hulk found plenty grip on the inside. He only went sideways because he carried enough speed in to make the pass. Lewis could have gone in slow, parked it on the apex and then exitted the corner first.
Easy to say that sitting here of course
rethymno racer25/11/2012 at 17:34:15

Will Petrov save his seat for next year with 12th?
ricciardo on his way to ruin it.

I'll say it quietly, but I think Petrov has had the better season compared to Kovalainen.

Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:43:11
it feels like weeks ago that Vettel spun on lap 1. What a race

We should have Christine do that WPM typing test at the beginning and end of the season to see how much it increases.
Mike25/11/2012 at 17:57:33
nice trophy
littlepurplegoth25/11/2012 at 17:57:35
Vettel stepped off the weighing machine and was hugging horner, Katherine looked up at the tv and noticed Vettel and one of the other drivers on the weighing machine and said, "how freakin' tall is he"?
Tall. Webber isn't that short either.*
*note, next to me almost anyone is tall. Although that also means that sometimes the occasional person is just the right height...
Jay (@burwellian)25/11/2012 at 17:57:44
Nice job Christine, indeed :)
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 17:57:48
Massa crying. I wonder why
David in NZ25/11/2012 at 17:57:55
nice trophy
Looks like a tin opener.
Nick25/11/2012 at 17:57:59
I guess this makes up for buttons championship win without a podium in 09

Oh look, massa milking the podium!!111
Mark25/11/2012 at 17:58:29

So if Ferrari sort their car out next year, is Massa worth a punt?

It's not much to ask!

Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 18:03:41
Magnanamous from Alonso there. He learned from the best, his team mate
He is copying Schumacher. Schumacher's first few years at Ferrari showed how someone should conduct themselves when things are not going their way. He always backed the team up. He was always positive and he never criticised them in public. Alonso is just copying that
Alex Andronov25/11/2012 at 18:03:45
Luckily I can translate what he's saying...
"Actually I would like to announce that I have won the world championship, yes, this is correct, despite what you have heard, or will hear, it's great to win honestly"
Mark25/11/2012 at 18:03:50

People, been a good year once again, sorry I've not been around so much in the second half of the season, but appreciate all the hard work you all put in and its still been fun. Hopefully 2013 won't be too bad in comparison, looking forward to Hulk coming on in.

Nothing wrong with differing opinions. McNish has the best view of anyone who has commented so far. he can zoom in and make sure he is right

Hasn't Martin told them already??
Stuart Taylor25/11/2012 at 18:27:07
Sky are really going into this yellow flag thing. They did point out a diff between oil and yellow earlier, but... why would yellows be up the main straight?
Pat W25/11/2012 at 18:27:31
Phew, I fell 40 minutes behind on comments. Brilliant race. Glad Di Resta is ok. Happy to see Button win but a bit gutted for both Hamilton and Hulkenberg. Great season (some boring races but that's going to happen in a 20 race season).

Indeed, and the yellows they show flashing. The ones on the main straight blinkiung out as Vettel goes through doesn't help but they seem more stationary.

Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 19:20:53
DON'T SACK STEFANANO!
He is toast

DON'T SACK STEFANANO!
It wasn't (spec) his fault that the car was awful to start with.
Lukeh25/11/2012 at 19:21:08

but... toast is so nice... but not in this context :(
Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 19:21:30
Ted Hulk cost McLaren £10-15 million.
Would have been cheaper signing him

Of the three Stefanano is the most likely to get the chop.

He is in charge of the team and has been for a few years. Failure is not tolerated at Ferrari. Unless Alonso is a big fan he is history
Pat W25/11/2012 at 19:22:34

I don't know why they are chasing him, he spent ages talking to Lee.

That is true - buck does stop with him, and he's not delivered a 'satisfactory' (winning) season.
Steven Roy25/11/2012 at 19:23:27

Pat Fry is barely in the door so he has to be safe. Tombazis has been there before and it is not long since they signed him back from McLaren

Apart from the non-racing commenting, remember the next racing is the Race of Champions in about 3 weeks.
The next real racing is probably Daytona 24 at the end of Jan. Only 2 months. F1 car launches likely around then too.

That is going to be difficult. I suggest the following script
So much happened today that I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. JB won the race , Vettel the title, lots of people cried/ That is all

it lacked a Taki Inoue, but had pretty much everything else...

i love all you guys and girls. this season has been awesome and i've truly enjoyed spending it with y'all.
2012 was meant to be a rebuilding year, when everyone left us to get this ready for 2013, instead sidepodcast is bigger than ever and we can only thank each and every one of you for sticking out the period where we ditched stuff left, right and centre.
we absolutely promise to try and make 2013 the most exciting, vibrant and interactive season ever. hope you can join us.
Hehe. End of season is v. difficult for my anti-emotion robotness to navigate!
Nothing wrong with not being emotional. You are not alone. Plus you have to imagine what would happen if you were as emotional as Mr C. You would live in a permanent hug

Comment from Stuart Taylor: "I need an FBFB gap-analysis between me and the edge of my seat"
Schumacher says thank you.
Team radio to Räikkönen: "Only three cars on primes, Romain, Schumacher and one of the HRTs. Everyone else on options."
Medium and hard tyres. Try telling them apart!
Race started.
Vettel has crashed!
Yellow flags.
Track is clear.
Safety car deployed.
Newey studies a photo of the damage to Vettel's car. The man is dedicated!
He has pulled off track again, race over for Hamilton.
You can just see the bit of car disappearing behind Vettel.
Di Resta in the wall.
Jenson Button wins the Brazilian Grand Prix!!
Button, the winner.
@MyCaterhamF1
3 hours until go time in Interlagos. The latest weather update is in and it's now reduced the chance of rain to around 20%....
Booooo!!
It's definitely looking less and less likely on the weather front.
...so we'll have to rely on a crash or a botched pit stop or something then :/
Even @JeanEricVergne was hoping for it: Please let it rain in Interlagos...!
lol, Ben Edwards gave Jake some coasters as a leaving gift. https://pbs.twimg…EAArKWs.jpg:large
I was gonna nap before the race but oops.
Awwww...
@MyCaterhamF1
As the build-up to the race continues we want to take this chance to thank each & every one of our fans for your unwavering support.
@MyCaterhamF1
The messages we receive every day mean a great deal to us. It's amazing that people take the time to tell us what our team means to them...
aww, i bet they're loving it.
would like it more if you keep Heikki, the man who gave us credibility and committment since day 1
ill be with you if Heikki stays, if not so long
If Heikki leaves so will the majority of the fans!
Heikki is the soul of Caterham.
I think if heikki goes you may see a dent in that fanbase
etc, etc, and so on.
Ah, a pic of the state of the circuit. Only an hour or so old...
@Lotus_F1Team
Bit of Porsche Challenge action to kick off the morning; dry that track up for us please boys! #F1 #FullBrazilia… http://yfrog.com/kjv19sfj
Support for the driver ahead of the team... yeah, I can understand that. Decent team though, want them to get something today but can't see it...
i think hes the only reason caterham had so much support compared to marussia and hrt.
I personally liked them bringing the Lotus name back, and sympathised with their dispute with Notus over it. But Heikki helps, aye.
HRT were always going to have an uphill struggle fighting against Alonso for home publicity and sponsors. Marussia? Nice colour scheme but seem to just quietly pluck away at the back, feel more corporate. Not a bad thing, but not as endearing.

Yes. Yes we are...
I like that, on a slightly different note, that Jake's got his own hashtag going. And that 3 million tuned in just to see him on his final qualifying session...

Does that mean they are out there? Or will it be a pre-filmed VT?
I'd like it to be Lee.
Jake and the BBC are out there, aye.
that'll be lee then.
As for replacement, I dunno.
Could be The Stig? He is sat in the Merc garage and retiring himself today after all... :p
I meant this mystery replacement - on location, learning the job already.
@andrewbensonf1
Definitely the odd spot of rain in the air. Two hours to go
Hmmmm...
Oh, I assume peeps are aware that it's Infiniti Red Bull Racing next season. Title sponsorship deal done, 4 years...
Yeah - I said earlier on Twitter that I hope this isn't a sign that they are going to continue this dominance forever.
Hello!
think it'll mean less interest from renault (france) and they'll put all their eggs in the caterham basket. at least in terms of preferred supplier.
Heya :)
And people said the same thing about Schumacher & Ferrari, Williams & Renault, McLaren & Honda... Swings and roundabouts.
Renault own Infiniti don't they?
Or, as we discussed in the very confusing show, all their eggs in the Renault basket :)
Part of, with Nissan I think.. (don't quote me)
#beharsfault
Gonna have to go with the beeb today as, despite being the last day of the seaosn and no sundays needing requesting for 3 months, the football is still more important in this house.
Yay for the bbc!
indeed. but they've stated red bull can't have infinity engines. they can only have renault engines. so there's a bit of rivalry, hence why i added renault-france :)
your stories make me glad i dont live at home. but then you mention the roasts :(
you mean the mint sauce dinners :)
also. it's jake's last day.
You'd never know it!
So they are. Though there's still a fairly strong partnership between Renault & Nissan; cross-shareholding.
he's barely mentioned it! ;)
I should've made this kinda fuss on friday.
Also I heartily await the first article with the title 'To Infiniti and Beyond'
Afternoon all. For some reason this doesn't seem like a championship decider to me. There doesn't seem to be any of the tension that normally goes with a final race decider. Maybe that is because all I have seen all weekend is Q3 though. Does anyone else feel the same?
Looks like some shops are jumping the gun... https://twitter.c…621791744/photo/1
I bet Magic Alonso could do an actual hat trick.
I hear they were funded by a fellow F1 blogger who enjoys jumping the championship gun. Hope he's got his prepared articles ready!
Feels to me more as if the tension seems to be over the weather rather than the title...
I guess that is one way of getting a few quid back on merchandise that may be burned.
I don't see any tension but mostly because I think it's a foregone conclusion. Mostly just excitement at it being Brazil/Last race/Championship.
Do think it's Vettel's title but Alonso deserves it more though.
To whom do you refer?
He's an unmentionable around these parts.
i had completely forgotten about that. zing.
Hehehe, seems like it is the done thing: https://twitter.c…72704642897547264
heheheeh!!
Mark I shall mention it on twitter for you :)
i am confused as to exactly who she works for these days
a fanatical f1 blogger.
Yeah, I saw that, hehe!
Woo & indeed hoo
Yay!
Calm down there giggles, you're going to accidentally tip over a glass with all this excitement!
*hugs*
I seem to be thinking of this more like final race of the season after the championship has already been decided
Still exciting though!
FBFB for the build-up, we are being spoilt today.
Hello.
I like their split strategy. Keeping Williams as an option too.
as it's his last race, we should take a moment to remember the wonderful moments of Michael Schumacher's career. yes, looking all the way back to when he first retired, to the moment where he retired again, we thank you Michael for both decisions and two wonderful highlights.
Other stuff happened.
But mostly, them two we should focus on. *toasts*
@WilliamsF1Team
End of term photo! #Interlagos pic.twitter.com/rlqoO4Jn
...and Sky Sports coverage has started.
Absolutely
mark webber you are drunk
I believe I can exclusively reveal who will be Jake's replacement.
A knowledgable Scot who has a great record on safety and technical ability.
Steven Roy is the new Jake!!!
I felt that way until right now when suddenly we have two double world champions and nobody has any clue what the weather will do. Until now I assumed it would be a Vettel walkover because Alonso needs to do too much. But now it is Interlagos and it might rain and anything can happen.
Sky - Chance of rain: 40%
*joins toast*
*Adds jam*
afternoon everyone, I'm here on a proper computer this week!
Which, coincidentally, is what a certain over excitable current BBC radio commentator tweeted earlier. Up from the 20% Caterham stated an hour ago.
already? that must be my cue to try this nap thing.
Yeah, an hour and a half build up.
A proper computer? What devilry is this?
oof. i'll see you all in 90 minutes then :)
Come on rraaain
Just say the Sky Pad box in the background!

Who says #Kimi never smiles? #F1 #FullBrazilian http://instagr.am/p/SdMcHArky-/
The rain,
In the main,
Falls when,
It favours Spain
is pole on the inside or outside of turn 1?
The rain in Brazil,
Falls mainly on the hill
lol, The Chain being blasted through the Paddock in the background on the Sky coverage.

Pretty sure it's the Outside. Racing line.
I am slightly north east of Brazil now so it is not me.

Predictioning! sidepodcast.com/p…2012-predict-race
Interesting.. I haven't been following BBC, but Lee must be up there. I hope not Mr Allen!
Aye, feel free to jump in fellow lurkers :) I usually lurk... We don't bite ;)
My normal Firefox - Windows 7 set up I have been using for most of the last year
dc and lee are the only two on my list. if allen gets it i am buying sky tomorrow.
My guess is Lee
Heh. See he is in Brazil!!! This is a coverup
I think it'll be Lee.
I also think he was joking and they'll say it is Eddie. :)
I hope they have a complete revamp. The 3 amigos won't work with just Eddie & DC
Someone less grating than DC commentating, and less of a Red Bull love in and I may give them another go...
it should be me. I feel like a new job and I like travelling. #nothere
james allen presenting would be hilarious!
..ly bad!
My dad is currently ranting about schumacher. He can never see him as anything but a 'nasty cheating **********'
#affinity
guess which tee i'm wearing today :)
Stuart, your Dad is absolutely correct!
Well he's not wrong. But he's still been such a major figure in the sport for so long... been kinda sad to see him struggle a bit, except for nearly ramming Rubinho into the wall last year >:(
Your dad is absolutely right. Schumacher was and is an embarrassment and the FIA is a disgrace for giving him immunity
lots of love for my dad up here in SPC :)
Mr Taylor ftw
I'm offended there are goodbye packages for Schumi and nothing for HRT. They've had just as much success retiring.
https://twitter.c…135153664/photo/1
it feels like a long time since everyone in the brazil photo was the same as in the melbourne photo.
Ever since I saw quali I have a picture of Vettel and Massa coming together in the first corner.
Damon said early in the Sky broadcast that a former Ferrari driver told him Ferrari will use any means to win the title.
Re-booted and comments are now loading
I had a thought about HRT on my way over today. They should have been sponsored by Yodel because they promise so much and delivered nothing.
*budum-tish*
*tumbleweed*
People can never be seen in black or white. He's imperfect, that is very much true, but that also fails to give Michael credit for everything else he's done.
Nah, Schuey has them beat there. He's left the sport twice... ;p
:):)
pedro is causing mayhem
Who knows? Someone might still save them. There were rumors of Wurz sniffing around to buy the team.
*glares*
Their reliability is at least better than Mercedes, which is something I refer to in my latest article about the team. sidepodcast.com/f…nt/everybody-hrts
Where's stefanovich and his nutterness when you need him?
@InsideFerrari
Less than 90 minutes and then the race will start! Be sure that we will do 120% to help Fernando to win!
I would watch Sky's coverage, but a) I want to say goodbye to Jake and b) I'm listening to Fiona Apple.
DC has been a lot better at managing that this season. He was terrible last year.
last year had two 'pundits' commenting so DC couldn't really get into his role properly
whatever is on bbc1 at the mo is making me hungry.
If someone behaves like a thug and puts other drivers' lives at risk that is what should be in focus. That is what is important. The fact he won races, rescued a dog in Brazil or got all emotional over 9/11 are incidental. He thought other people's lives were less important than him winning a motor race. I have no idea how someone as intelligent as you can support someone with those morals
Nice plugging
Mmmmm he's making rice pudding.
You could use a similar argument against two multiple World Champions who crashed into each other in Japan a few times...
It would be incredible if HRT snatched 10th place today :)
ROFLMAO!
hahaha THIS ftw
Wow this tread is moving fast, I look away and back and either have like 21 pending or a full 2 page-downs to readh.
I would cry a happy man.
I hope the Cs have battened down the hatches, it's gonna be a BIG event
Hello fbfb!
This is what eurovision threads were made for :)
I have said it often about Senna. Prost had the sense to crash at the lowest speed corner on the track where there was effectively no risk to their lives
Bing weather still saying it's gonna rain a t 2pm local
So how does that make him any different to, say, Senna, who did the same thing? End of the day, if the drivers respect him - and they're the ones on the track, shouldn't you respect him too?
On another note, I'll miss these arguments once Michael retires. They'll be a lot less often. ;)
here we go!
Ah, during the war, we didn't have these fancy auto-updates, had this thing called an F5, now...
It's time BBC-peeps!
:)
it's OK, I'll always be around to berate him where possible ;)
First time I have voted in one of the polls where the votes are changing as I vote. You can actually watch the votes coming in
They really won't :)
Phew, my Freeview box finished rescanning (yet AGAIN) just in time for The Chain.
Ah, that music!
HRT seem destined for this list: www.f1rejects.com…/teams/index.html
Mine keeps doing that to the point i shouted at it the other night
'But there are no new channels, freeview! YOU KNOW THAT!'
I may be the only person on the planet who does not respect Senna's tactics. Driving ok, tactics no.
over 100 people this early ahead of a race is unprecedented!
*waves*
So are Caterham and Marussia the way they are progressing...
i don't either. prost ftw.
When was the last time the championship went down to the last race between two double champions?
But Prost had Balestre in his corner..
It would be a bit sad if we were still talking about Schumacher regularly next year. There are 22 other drivers racing out there to talk about - and I'm sure they'll keep us entertained plenty.
But yeah, I'm sure Michael will pop up once or twice in discussion. ;)
100 on the page already?
RB playing the chain :D
Heh, the chain from red bull :)
Hope they use that Chain to tie that Big Bad Wolf down - don't want that to get out later!
i ♥ alo: For some reason we are fighting the world championship that logic would say was impossible. Enjoy today and whatever happens.. Thank you all
#rankings
It looks really grey
Hello all, Mum finished our Sunday chat early when she heard The Chain. I do love an understanding parent!
They're playing the Chain again? At least play You Make Loving Fun.
The difference is Senna did it once. And until Schumacher started making a habit of it I always described that move as the most stupidly dangerous move anyone ever made in motor racing.
Prost and Senna became very personal and that is why what happened happened.
Schumacher on the other hand just didn't care about anyone else. You just have to look at everything Rubens did for Schumacher yet Schumacher had no compunction about sticking him in the wall at Hungary. Senna did one stupid, dangerous, inexcusable thing. Schumacher had a whole career full of them. How many times did he pull the Schumacher chop off the grid? That is the difference
Do you remember the 2008 finale and it was dry on the grid and with 5 mins to go the rain just fell on them on the grid
2000 came a race short of it...
I'm looking.
Please say hello everyone :)
M83 make for good montage choices
O yes, now i remember. Lets have a race as exciting as that one!
Brands Hatch > Silverstone
it just set up the tension brilliantly!
Senna wearing 2 hats..
Busy here, busy on Twitter too. Proves it is a good time to hold a title decider. :)
trying to balance both bbc and sky... and sorting out issues that have happened in farnham... plus doing sketchbook work..
ultimate multitasking going on here. :) so excited, but so sad for this race! :) Hope we're all happy and excited!
Afternoon folks
imagine a title decider in abu dhabi. any chance of rain... nope.
That's some serious multitasking
Hello, see you've reverted to the usual name so I won't be hearing Wombles all afternoon
Don't need to imagine it, just ask Vitaly about it!
I am supposed to be watching ER on the TV...
if you're new to sidepodcast, can i recommend the dashboard too: http://sidepodcast.com/dashboard
Jake: "You know all the rules. THEY DON'T APPLY TO ME ANYMORE."
I always use the dash! i don't know why as I don't use anything but the comments
sometimes i feel like the only person in our house at uni capable of sorting out issues. We've only got power in half the house apparently, and i'm instructing them what to do from all the way in Kent!!
However... they have until 4pm and then i turn the phone off. :)
Hello lurkers. We like people to come and talk to us. Everyone here except the management were lurkers at one point and all we did was post one comment and we ended up becoming friends with all these nice people. We don't just talk about every subject under the sun here. Some people havegone to races as a group. We regularly meet up at the Goodwood Festival of Speed etc.
So sitting back reading this without commenting means you are not just missing getting your point across but you will miss a good few days out with a bunch of great people too.
SO COMMENT NOW :)
That's what I'm using... I have just used it on my iPhone (which ran out of batteries), my iPad which I couldn't get set up the way I really wanted, and now on my mac.
Hope those 100 people aren't just me :)
Just want to say how much I love the notifications, I can move away from the comments & still see the conversation & FBFB, fabulous
Once? Estoril 88 comes to mind along with Suzuka 90. So twice at least.
I have a genuine belief that he didn't think was really risking their lives all that much. Probably a silly belief, but then I remember that Michael pretty much did the same thing to Ralf in Europe 2001 - and that's his own brother.
And I remember Michael was asked about the chopping in 2000, as well, and he had a very good point. His was very visible because he was always at the front, but it also happens a great deal in the midfield.
Anyway, let's end this discussion here. The guy is retiring, and there is a title battle to get excited about.
last Lewis tooned?
oh noooooooo :(
Multiple personality? :-)
Ahhh the curse of mumma lou strikes again... who knew you could maintain a house over a load of miles away?
quite right :D
We don't bite, unless you mention he who must not be named!
He'll become 'just a photo on their wall of champions'
YES!
first Sergio Tooned next year will be fun. :D
how is it possible i'm the only one with common sense! :)
yay. even more to come next year too.
I would have thought his Spa accident with DC would have given him an idea what could happen
this is hilarious 'Tooned
Awww, rubens is doing brazilian tv today. He's brazilian jake :)
Tooned buffering :D
Careful about un-lurking, it's addictive and takes over your life ;)
M-Ulator, lol
Mr C loving this, I'm sure.
BSOD!!
"Do you want to continue?"
Lewis: "No".
aw
Ron and Cosworth :D
Is that the real Ron?!
Also rubens has the most amazing pair of shoes
http://t.co/6UD8kYdK
can't see it. will watch later.

This is how they are going to cover Lewis leaving
"Do you want to continue" "No."

Absolute genius by Tooned. Lewis to Sergio
Awww man, this weeks tooned sounds amazing. Can't wait to see it¬
#pleasenospoliers
That. was. AWESOME.
Sounded like him. Ron would be up for that
Thought I had seen it, bnut was unsure whether it was on Twitter or here. #pointsindeed
IT WAS!
c'mon youtube! #tooned
TV Rubens :)
http://t.co/4a9GM5PP
Amen to that!
hahahahaha! that was a great tooned! EVERYONE MUST WATCH IT! BEST TRANSITION EVER! (better than Doctor who)
(no spoilers tho for the people who can't see it right now)
can everyone (eventually) watch Tooned on Sky Sport F1 website or do you have to be a Sky subscirber?
When will someone make Lewis shave, he looks ridiculous!
it quickly turns up on youtube anyways
Aren't they on YouTube?
Ted doing a pre-race Notebook
De la Rosa has been given a 5 place penalty for a new gearbox and will be starting in austin.
hehehe awkward moment where ted says hello to Aryton's sister :)
Nice to see him relaxed again.
Ted pointing out how important Kimi has been to Lotus this year.
Senna's sister...
And Sauber could move ahead of Mercedes. Meaning Merc dropping 2 places
Second day in a row now.
That tooned was incredible!
It even had windows xp

There's a RBR one somewhere as well
TED saying it looks like HRT are deffo stopping. Not even pretending they aren't any more.
Paul and JB chatting on the drivers parade to make lou happy ;)
I need an FBFB gap-analysis between me and the edge of my seat
I think knowing there is a transition is spoiler enough!!
Stefanano: There are clouds
Impressive analysis
ohh i rewound to catch it, thought you meant they were talking to the tv.. not in the background.
They werent very good at pretending...
Come to think of it, they...
oh... sorry :(
ahh I should've pointed that out, schumi was tlaking so I was ignoring him :)
Don't they usually end up stopping anyway
The Pre-FBFB?
cor it's 50-50 in the race-prediction!
"No trembling legs, no short arms" Is he talking about Mr Horner?
Pre-FBFB: O - Steven Taylor O - Edge of seat
And I even voted with me head and not my heart.
No short arms! What is Stefano wittering on about?
Pre-FBFB: 36 minutes 27 seconds to FBFB
good work, pre-FBFB

Rubens and sam michael :)
also rubens is going baaaalllld.
@andrewbensonf1
Some rumours @rubarrichello may make F1 return (with Caterham). Asked him if chance. Shook his head and made "very small" sign with fingers
Naahhh, unless that sam michael pic suggests... the return of the DREAM TEAM.
....i shouldn't think these things.
way too old
BBC weather ma showing a large wet front coming across Sao Paolo. Anyone know any decent weather services?
Mr C. Commenting update:
Posted a comment, pending box appeared, after hitting submit, nothing happened until pending pox clicked. Odd
Switching to Dolphin now
Don't worry, he'll twist it into a full article saying Vettel is going to Ferrari :-
Plus he would juts turn into Trulli and no one wants that
Why would he make a comeback to troll around at the back?
The Interview is on. Has he been on Sky yet?
FergieWeather On Twitter said 25% of light shower at the start
Whitmarsh saying that both drivers have made it very clear that they both are desperate to win the race. He will only be calm after corner 4
A little??? bit off topic but I know we have a lot of Big Bang Theory fans. Ignore the text and scroll down to the first video. They had just set up for a take when.....
www.hollywoodrepo…-flash-mob-390919
ahhhh i've seen that, so so good!
Aww, they cou;d've chose a good song. funny though :)
#stillwaiting
it's so strange that Alonso was more than a race win ahead for auite a while
The first two or three corners have seen a good few accidents. Of course if Massa and Vettel tangle McLaren will be in a great position
So, Fernando needs a podium, and then Seb to be far enough back...
Or, Seb gets 4th, and it's all over bar the shouting.
star wars music and ej is an odd combination
From the sound of things there will be a lot of shouting
Question for everyone:
Will both Vettel and Alonso finish the race?
Yes.
It does look very grey...
No
Hulk gets the overtake of the year at Korea from the beeb
i hope so, whoever wins it needs to do this on track!
Superman isn't it?
it was a brilliant overtake
Superman...
Been digging, as far as I can tell, it's never happened before.
ohh I don't know. I don't like superman!
My perfect storybook ending will be Lewis is winning the race, Alonso is second, and Alonso needs to pass Lewis to win the championship...
BBC with Sky-esque data overlaying the video.
I love Kimi!
or Star Wars, apparently!
he he FBFB...
I wonder if Schumacher is the Arnie of F1? I'll be back?
I've seen neither, I'm allowed to be confused :)
I don't like the way Stefanano said 'If nothing is happening to Vettel'
Vettel: Eddie Jordan? He's an expert?
#points
To be fair the question started, "you need a problem for Vettel now to win don't you?"
When did Lewis get inked?
Vettel: Drive of the year? It was amazing to see him do all that while throwing his toys out as well.
All these awards remind me I better get cracking on with the amazing TOATA F1 awards ;)
Well the theme music for one of them is a bit like the theme music for Cool Runnings
Before Austin, I think
Man alive, I turned everything on this morning and blew a fuse.
credit to eddie. amazingly.
what happened
Luckily ej invented ice cream scoops
please explain such a mad comment
I wonder how many strange trophies the cleaners will find left in the garages after the race.
EJ wins scoop of the year award
Ah
Scoopmof the year award for Lewis to Mercedes
bbc gave him an award for his scoop naming hamilton to mercedes next year.
mika salo!
He has Bernie to thank for that, I think. Credit should go to Benson, too - he has nailed these moves a lot in his career.
MIKA SALO.
nelson piquet got old since flav sacked him
...wait
eddie put his name to it. no-one would have let him live it down if he was wrong.
So if massa takes out Vettel at turn 1, is there a secret radio code for webber?
"Peter Perfect Down, Penelope Pitstop to Dick Dastardly"
I wonder if he was the unnamed Ferrari driver Damon was talking about
It's shame Benson has let himself down recently with his Lewis and Seb to Ferrari obession
just to clarify, Pastor moves into the second ten but has to use his Q3 tyres, right?
@JRobertsF1
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain! Rain!! RAIN!!!! No rain... #F1
to replace Jake, yes?
I don't know why everyone is going on about no rain, he's starting in 23rd.
Lewis AND Seb to Ferrari? I think he will nail the Seb to Ferrari move.
caterham want it to rain, as much as fernando does.
:)
martin gridwalk! :)
Sad for Pedro De La Rosa to start his final race in 29th
Martin's Grid Walk time :)
What was that?
No idea. I used to know the majority of the rules but there are so many stupid complications that I don't even try or care any more
we're saying goodbye to Michael and HRT but nothing will beat the sadness of the year we said goodbye to Sauber, Jordan and Minardi
Schumi is driving about with a flag?
I'm ready, but I know I'm going to be asked to go and do something right at a critical moment.
Schumi has a flag
Movable Aero Device?
Is that Mercs new aero innovation?
Oh lord.
Track temp: 25C. Track temp in Quali: 55C. - Martin
Nice touch. Hope it doesn't fall off.
It was an emotional time, BMW just didn't have the heart.
If Michael gets that stuck in the exhaust...
Kai Ebel looking very unlike himself with a sensible shirt
Destroys his RW - at least then it won't cause him problems later in the race.
He didn't do any of this last time he retired. It's almost like he knew he was coming back then.
I guessed Kimi
Martin is on the grid and says he feels rain
yaaaaay for finding JB :)
DC with Lewis
Could be
Or that could be the pressure of the title battle that year.
Mr Piquet on Sky.
DC says it's dripping
Just been given freshly popped popcorn
@TobyMoody: "Go on Martin. Ask Kimi about his thoughts on Schumacher."
Lewis needs a haircut.
you are being treated very well! where is my popcorn? ;)
Piquet is hardly going to pick Alonso after his family's history
There were a few spots on the camera too.
Jenson putting his 'slippers on' says Martin :)
Will McL be #7+8 next year?
The best team...but I'm leaving it..
Great hosts, especially considering how hungover we all are
Or he's getting nostalgic in his old age :)
"McLaren is the best team" so why are you leaving then?
They will be 5 and 6.
it's Mikey Muscles birthday today! say happy birthday Martin!
Just spitting with rain...
It's spitting! It's spitting!
wow, he listens to me..
Or 3 and 4. Depends
Hello! Ruddy hell, took me *ages* to get down here...
give them a hug from me :) popcorn is a great hang over cure :)
Sam Michael expects light enough showers to be able to hang on with slicks
heh. there's an arrow at the top for that :)
hello all,
i cant believe the last race is here. what a season, what a way to finish, come on alonso.

JB on the beeb now
Hello Sidepodpeople! :)
Martin to Bernie 'are you excited'
Bernie '*shurg* it's another race..'
Hey Guille
what is this? This is... wrong
No he can't. 1-2 is reserved for team of the defending driver champion. 3 on down is based on constructors finishing order.
Hi LPG, Guille
yes, this.
@fergieweather
#F1 #INTERLAGOS Note that rainfall radar won't be able to show very light patchy rain with any accuracy, or even at all
Brundle: I thought you ordered the rain?
Bernie: No, I tried to stop it...
I vastly enjoyed his prediction yesterday that Lewis would win the world championship today
hehe. jb's a better presenter than dc :)
Ahh constructor standings :) not WDC.
Yes, but then I wouldn't know who was here :-)
And *why* didnt I go and find the popcorn maker? (regrets time spent on fruitcake)
changes channel and rewinds to catch JB
feel like i'm stalking him..
points!
oh sure, gets to JB and my feed gets glitchy
don't pretend that you're not ;)
Hi both and anyone I have missed
yes. "feel like".
Was that a joke by DC?
Drops of rain on grid atm...
The brazillian and shave line?
brundle caught Smedley texting his wife
Oui.
Rob embarrassed at getting caught texting his wife
Smiley Rob. :) He's so cute.
I'm not sure if it was explained but Damon said he'd spoken to a former Ferrari driver on the condition of anonymity, and he said Ferrari would try everything to make their man win.
Presumably you mean Rob's wife and not Martin's. That's how rumours start!
I watched Thank You For Smoking last night - Smedley reminds me of Aaron Eckhart
Hmmm... thinking ahead, would a Smedley-Vettel combo work at Ferrari in 2014?
Great fun interview with Rob Smedley on Martin's Gridwalk
He'd make a great replacement for Webber.
right?
TOONED! www1.skysports.co…deo/12870/8281535
I'm not sure we needed a former Ferrari driver to tell us that.
yay!
love whitmarsh. great interview.
It was Rob's wife. Apparently he texts her before every race as a good luck thing. He looked thoroughly embarrassed then Martin asked him if he wanted to say something to her on air and he went redder than his shirt
Rubens told Massa to take his hat off during the Anthem
Dad: "Ah Rubens, a gentleman racer. Unlike his co-pilot Schumacher, the **** ****** ******!"
surely the moment Felipe moves Rob will either go with him, or move up at Ferrari, he seems too good to just be Felipe's engineer now..
yep, mr taylor definitely ftw!
bff
hehe
Tooned on YouTube: http://t.co/5dodZ8e2
Sauber says that the radar doesn't show any strong raining coming.
Because his wife is watching on the BBC?
She's in Italy, apparently.
need a clip of that.
He asked if she'd be watching Sky. He said... She's in Italy, she'll probably be watching on some VPN
Omg, that tooned was properly brilliant :D
Just turn it off and on again!
rob's heard of a VPN? whaaat?
Wonderful. He wins the internet, for now :-)
Tooned was great :) www1.skysports.co…deo/12870/8281535
You have to see it... :)
I'm getting all nervous. 10 minutes¬!
You missed his earlier rants on the same subject
I'd like to buy a vowel.
Well, he is an engineer and lives in another country to his birth
i am back, after 0 minutes of sleep :(
:(
BRILLIANT :D
and now my tv has james allen on it. bah.
It is the seconds that count.
The flag was mrs schumacher's idea
Of course it wasn't MSC's idea.
Situation normal then
Sky just got the worst last minute Schumacher interview
Seems there is/was a very light shower on the other end of the track
Yaaaay comparison lap.
T-10 minutes!
typical brazil. i always plan to sleep before it and i never do and its always the stupidest day of the year and everyone had better stay away from me tomorrow.
Sabine is Mrs. Kehm, Michael's assistent
I was expecting it to be one feed with one car being a ghost car.
Looks like we are starting to favour Fernando for the Championship: sidepodcast.com/p…2012-predict-race
you can tell i know little about him
optimism never dies!
@TheFifthDriver
The official weather forecast reads as follows: a few drops possible in the next 30 mins, then dry.
lol what DO you know about, Lukeh?
Greggs
DC thinks alonso is set up for a wet race
Muse & Dr Who ;)
di Resta looks taller every time I see him
Important things.
Like rubens.
Argh - discovered the downside of the BBC.
No ad break in which to watch tooned...
you have 4 months :)
Natalie Pinkham, it's not a good strategy to try and grab interviews with drivers running in and out of the loo!
it's raining more says Jake
except yesterday Fernando said he didn't...
who knows :D
Ferrari hinted at that yesterday
Best bit is JB with Lewis hair
i'm so excited for this!!!!!
aw you guys, I'll miss this over the winter! *sticks flag into dashboard*
I binned the gridwalk, no time now though - till after the Forum has closed and we find out Jake;s replacement.
Poetic Ej for the BBC's montage, noooooo
Brazil can have our rain, it's horrible here.
This is amazing timing for the rain
ooh, ponchos
the off season is the worst!
Winter should be banned
Was a nightmare getting out of Bristol on Wednesday evening...
Not quite as good as 2008's, but nearly.
Shades of the Heart of Gold there then... #tooned
Just like in 2008
:D
Will Red Bull's alternator alternate?
I have ad-breaks, that will come handy as at the same time we have the final (and championship deciding) race of TC2000 :)
watching people struggle to put ponchos on is good tv. putting their head into the armhole multiple times, excellent.
Did Prost just say, "when I saw the chicken flag"
:):)
Yes. They don't use that flag any more
i'm going to burst.
aaaand breath.
Maybe he's spent a bit too much time around 'Nando...
ahhhhhhh!!!!!! i love this sport so much!
dramatic EJ is a bit scary
:D :D
wet camera!
:)
can i just say, i am very glad to be spending this moment with y'all.
*group hug*
*hugs*
hugs!
So... For the last time this season... Would anyone like to predict... The first spinner?
*crosses fingers and toes*
>:D
Oh you are so embarrassing.
Schumacher
Is it for chickens crossing the road?
We need a GP in Africa somewhere...
Hello everyone. Looking forward to this one!
ooooh romain.
OMG. The race hasn't started yet. What are you going to be like by the end?
*group hug*
gosh i'm going to be blubbering at the end of this. This season has been beyond awesome.
*blush*
Michael.
*sniff* Aw...
Hang on, no that's the cake *dashes off to foil the top to stop it burning*
did this exist in 2008? Live events at SPC I mean
not long to go now, getting excited, come on alonso.
Schumi?
Karthikeyan
They started in 2008. Blame Lou.
Vettel.
heart rate is climbing... :)
the rain is falling so slowly it's going to be hard to know what the track will be like
I hope it is not but I can't help seeing a Massa/Vettel first corner collision
The Hulk
ah yes.. sorry about that everyone ;)
@MarkCavendish 1 min
Going to be an exciting final Formula1 race between Vettel & Alonso! But massive good luck to @JensonButton & Mclaren @TheFifthDriver.
Vergne is be first spin
completely outrageous :)
Ha. I thought Vettel would wait for Alonso to be passing to stage a crash.
:D
I'll take Maldonaldo for last spinner. He'll end the season like he started.
Does Christine have a prediction for the race?
i really want JB to win this, and Alonso to be second... and Vettel have a bad bad race (but still finish)
:D :D
Spinner vote: Di Resta.
I hope Rubens has passed on his ghood Interlagos luck to Vettel at some point today
I didn't for the race. I did Vettel for the championship. I suspect it will be Hamilton.
@TheFifthDriver
Weather update: this light rain will continue for 15 minutes.
"wet tyres being rushed out" - Crofty
Spinner: Pator
comedy result: Caterham finish 12th.... but Marussia get 11th :)
First spinner: Glock
Vettel to finish 10th and 0.050sec after the 9th ;)
I just want Sch to have a bad bad baaaadddd race. Preferably without taking anyone else out on the way!
And HRT get 10th ;)
Now that is a possibility. Shame Pastor got the penalty or he would have been right behind Vettel. Imagine trying to sleep knowing you have Alonso's team mate beside you and Pastor behind you
Oooh FBFB oooh
... being overtaken by someone like Massa on the last corner? ;)
So Lewis has turned into Checo then?
In Tooned
yeah, that was the year lou started it!
#Spoilers
Oh! Sorry!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
3 on Primes, all others on Options. None on Inters.
schumacher is a legend of the sport, hope he has a good race and helps alonso win the championship
I want someone to stick him in a wall so he knows what it is like
always need someone to blame, you lot ;)
It was also the year i got a laptop... not a coincidence... promise ;)
He he
Here we go...
Parade Lap. Here we go...
Not sure he'll care. ;)
:)
KOB, SCU & GRO on hards
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, I know know I know I know I want you I want you.... to win please Mr Alonso.
cheers.
oh, I love that sight...the brake lights twinkling - F1 Christmas! :)
Normally me though so good to see you getting it
very, very light rain
I want Button to overtake Webber in the championship, too. Lots of wishes!
"Christine form the interent"
everyone running and i immediatedly notice haug walking.
hehe i'm sure we could twist it to blame you ;)
YES!
**does grammar nazi stuff**
Its interesting here. Have our own little blame structure. Out on the rest of the internet everything is blamed on warren ellis...
Sidepodvengers, Assemble!
Not today. Too much excitement for proper typing. Everyone is forgiven.
Short lap = short warmup lap. Phew!
so many mistakes in my prev ;)
The tension is crazy

i do love alonsos ability to put himself into podium positions from wherever he starts.
Massa got Zonta'd.
Webber was brain dead to go outside Massa with Alonso behind him
Sidepodswingometer power!
Bruno and Checo are out
Seb choked completely!
We cannot fix damage - RBR
formula 1 i love your unpredictability,
I want to see SEB fight back...and finish one position behind what he needs.
oh no!! Senna!
poor bruno :(
Massa blocked Webber to help Alonso get around.
Vettel completely Hamilton'ed it.
He had rubens' luck
not the best last race with their teams
It's up to Webber now, he's Red Bulls only hope
Don't think my heart will take this for another 70 laps!
Stupid, stupid move by Webber
Vettel just set purple S2...
wow! hulk!
Didn't Seb already do a 24th to 3rd this year?
Webber is getting mugged
Yellows again
Can i just say, i called Vettel as first spinner? :p
Vettel fastest, not much wrong then?
Stop the race now...
Yup.
Vettel is OK for now says red bull...
flap for vettel
Vettel fastest lap! Wooo
boo, why isn't he damaged.
Vettel fast
okay Mclaren, move aside, let Alonso have this... ;)
so Vettel needs 8th???
Wow. Of all the people to get hit.
Amazing move by Alonso.
Don't be mean about RB
I want another chance to go and stare at the cars...
9th
If Vettel does an epic recovery from this... it'll be worth the championship. but for now... come on Alonso!
replay central
massa's start was immense
What a start by Felipe
Vettel only 6 seconds behind 9th.
great start from massa
Haha, webber cut off vettel :)
well done Bruno...
Vettel completely took out Senna!
Senna hit Vettel twice?
Vettel going fast now he has less weight on his car
Kimi did a brilliant job there!
Think that might have been Vettel damage
Vettel cut Senna up.
Silly Seb
How did he end up with a drivable car???
Webber is doing a great job for Alonso. Blocked Vettel at the start then went outside Massa to let Alonso go inside him
team massa, don't smash any more glass!
He turned in on Senna. Entirely his own fault.
DRS disabled
penelty for vettel?
Can we hope for a dive through?
Williams double DNF already
JB is still close to Hamilton!
Vettel's fault I think
Alonso's off, nooooo

Well that helped Vettel, Webber's off...
Interlaogs = best track of all time.
a toro rosso went off too!
+100!
JB passing Lewis...that's a metaphor...
ohh webber is at least okay..
Given everything that is happening I think McLaren should be telling their drivers not to race for a few laps
how is romain??
ohhhh romain.

Has all of F1 taken LSD or something?
Hope he;s ok, that looked heavy.
Bye bye Romain
come on JB.... you can do this!!!

Toys.
Pram.

damamge on the sauber
Especially as I've heard he's not very good at overtaking ;)
He saw Alonso pass and paniced
THIS.

Hulk outpacing Alonso!
So there needs to be an asterisk next to his name.
Lap times getting slower by 2 seconds
Massa next for Seb
its all happening
With all these quick midfield cars causing carnage, it hands Seb a lifeline.
heikki 11th now
KOVI IN 11th!
Can't stand people who get embarrassing at the start of the race. I am sure Christine agrees :)
HEIKKI 10TH
aww back in 11th
Vettel recovering... booo.

Drive Heikki drive!
I have epic buffering, so quite a bit behind, but what a race! What a race!

Vettel almost back up to the Ferraris
oops toro rosso...

Webber not letting Vettel through!
Inters got burned up?

My heart is not.

maybe not.
Nope.
nope, probably won't either
Glock ahead of Kovalainen!
Hulk is catching JB...
come on JB... keep it on the track...
this weather is confusing!
Not until after he overtakes Alonso
did marussia get way better or did caterham get way worse, i've got no idea how this year happened.
can we have a moment to figure out what's going on yet
Marussia / Caterham battle getting interesting :D
glocks off, sad times
Bernie showed up with the stewards, "This isn't the incident you are looking for."
fight em off, heikki!
or not
and why do caterham need pay drivers anyway, my understanding is that Tony Fernandes has All Of The Money.
TED says it's still raining
TED: "Still raining, but finely"
Ted 'still raining very fine, and will last another 5 mins'
TED 5 more minutes of rain
Fernando needs a podium...
Lewis says his tyres are going off
JB can dodge the raindrops.
HAM: Inters are going off
Lewis tryes going off
Massa's helmet looks like heikkis
Massa dropping back to Vettel
It's too dry for them, they're burning out surely...

Come on Kobi, we can get 5th.
tyres goign off of Massa
Massa on slicks can't hold off Vettel on Inters
Massa dropping anchor.

Only 55 laps to go!

holy cow
Alonso 4th, Vettel 5th.
Massa no want a job it seems
Massa pits
Most exciting 16 laps ever
SKY checking an illegal overtake by Vettel?
sky overriding the main feed.... to show us Vettel overtaking under yellows...
Keep us informed
Alo P5, Vettel P6
Sky says Vettel overtook under yellows
No Crofty, that's the slippery flag. Red and Yellow stripes...
no kidding. the race matched the build up.
Vettel past KOB under yellows earlier
Penalty for Vettel for passing under yellows has to come soon
Jensonnnnnnn hold onnn!!
PEASE!
PLEASE!
They got a photo of the damage quickly!!
how has newey got that picture?!
They aren't yellows, I did mention those earlier expecting that mix up :p
Is going to have to happen.
What are they?
red Bull must have photocopiers next to their pitwall
Come on stewards, investiagte Vettel
McLaren picked the wrong driver. Should have picked Hulk,
Photo of vettel damage studied by Newey
red bull prob still have those printers they used to print the red bulletin i'm guessing?
Slicks are quiker than inters again
i have never seen that before on the pitwall
AMEN
Vertical red and yellow stripes. It's the slippery surface flag because the track is wet.
They look very like yellow digi-flags to me
track coming back to the slicks. hold on JB hold on!
That is a printout of his psychic link to his cars.
Adrian Newey printed it off FROM HIS BRAIN.
*smug*
:)
oh JB!!
2s better for the slickers
If it were a yellow flag, it would also have been flashing.
Straight swap with Sauber for Checo?
i thought flashing = waving
Thanks for that. :)
Rain expected to continue for 30 mins?!
What are they then?
If it were a waved yellow then there'd be just 1 stationary yellow in front of it.
Mclaren expect it to continue raining like this for 30mins.... BUT THEY STILL HAVE JB OUT ON SLICKS? wow...
Hulks got him
Holy cow.
For Steven.
C'mon Hulk!
Hulk takes the lead!!
NOOOOOOOO JENSON!!
HULK LEADS!!
Hulk smash!
if mclaren think its going to rain, why is JB still out????
Woot! Hulk!
why does hulk do good stuff at brazil?
Wow
Lewis in for more inters
HAM in for slicks
Hulk is happy.
Lewis pits again......
Lewis onto slicks?
Oops, slicks even
whT?
Screw the championship. Go Hulk!
Alonso pits again too
Hulk: Interlagos specialiat.
ALO in too!
I AM VERY CONFUSED.
Alonso in too
Too stressful
Right, we'll have to wait until this shakes out
vettel not!
Vettel stayed out
Problem with Alonso's front left I think
everyone back on slicks... come on JB!
Can we slow time down so we can comprehend everything?
The Hulk - knows a serious shortcut !!
Button is 27 seconds ahead of 3rd
please!
they should rename this race to the Grand Prix of Confuse
<3
that would be optimal right now.
Welcome to Brazil.
What a finale! - OK another 50 laps to go
Lewis almost lost it!
Vettel pits!
Seb boxing
This race is a metaphor for the whole season. The start is mental, and no one knows what's going on until the end!
VET might beat Alonso here
wow, red bull.
double red bull stop!
to clear up any confusion, bbc go to EJ.
fun to see!
Alo beat Vettel
That was slick from Red Bull to do both that close
how much has changed since lap 1
Vettel just needs to follow him homer.
Hulk not shaking JB. i Love a good win battle.
what does the f1.com lap chart look like?
EJ wants Webber to be the dog to get the informaton to be the man at the front to get the information.
absolutely, Eddie!!
TED more bits have come off Vettel's car since he last saw it up close
Ted says Vettels car is falling apart, still
Ted 'more bits have come off Vettel's car since he last saw it'
Maybe Vettel's car will disintegrate.
Vettel just needs to cover Alonso
Ted in 5 laps time
"Vettel is now driving without any wheels whatsoever"
Go to live timing and click on the lap chart tab.
Now Rosberg with a puncture! Debris??
so far, we've had... what/// 4 changes for the lead of this race... ON TRACK. excellent.
There is quite a bit of debris on the track
All drivers on slicks now. Time to look at the stategies.
YES
Oh wow.
it doesn't work on macs :(
its been a great season
Gap slowly increasing though
hulk fastets lap
hULK
i see it?
Has Newey built a shed weight button into the system
Didn't realize Perez was out. Wouldn't it be ironic if Kobayashi got 5th for Sauber ahead of Mercedes.
NLY 0.8 AHEAD THOUGH
sorry for caps
not as quick as it does when it's a red bull! :)
Which Merc had that puncture?
there is steam coming from christine's fingers :)
Rosberg.
ROS
Oh no, Rosberg, is your car hurt? Ha.
the exhaust is exposed!
Rosberg
:)
alonso saying lots of debri on the track
alo wants a safety car
If Vet's care falls to bits will they have weight issues at the end?
Alonso - There is too much debris on the line
wow, there is!
JB goes fastest
Alonso's asking for a safety car, and you know it.
In English for Charlie
Doubt it / definitely not
No, FIA can apply "common sense" if bits have fallen off due to damage
oooooh, Rosberg took the fall for JB...
Or for Catalan Independence, election today #funfact
i bet Bono asked him to ;)
SC
:D
Safety car!
safety cra!
Safety Car! Phew, we can catch our breath
*car!
SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED
alonso gets what he wants
pit JB.. PIT!
Hulk and But to pit?
free pit stop for Hulk and Button
Poor Hulk. A sure podium is now in question.
SC. Bad for Hulk and Button.
YES!
So, lets look back at the first 23 laps:
Summary:
kajdhngsdjhegfdfhgioljgtlkhjt.hxkhdkhgjflsfjVETTELmbnshjdRAINLKJMBDALONSO....Hulk?....WOAH.
amazing the top two are 47 secs ahead because they've ptted twice less
I'm going to need to watch this again.
i want to save this race.. forever.
LOL! So true!
exactly.
If you buy that particular Mercedes is having the headlights flash like that still an option?
seconded
Now 60s
Time for a breather. :D
only just ahead. oh Jenson... once this safety car period is over, get back your lead!
Button and Hulk both have to use harder tyre.
Rain in the pit lane
OK... let's er... let's... um.
i'm shaking. i love this sport, why would you watch any other sport.... ever... :)
Do they? I mean, it is a wet race.
jb is the tyre master... but hulk has his talent too.
twice he's done this in brazil.
good time for dinner to be done!
Even though it's a wet race?
But they didn't use the inter.
they haven't used wet tyres tho?
0th: Safety Car Mercedes, 1st, Hulk, FIFI Mercedes, 2nd, Button, Mclaren Mercedes.
:)
oh checo!
Quick - must check cake, don't do ANYTHING!
Mint sauce?
They started on Hard, they'll need Mediums
How is Vettel still going? That Red Bull breaks if you breath on it wrong
destiny
The floor isn't built by Renault ;-)
I am literally over 5 mins behind!
maybe they've used lots of tape...
Duct tape and cable ties.
Heikki lost out in the double pit stops :(
newey's special duck tape
both vettle and web have taken hits today and are still running...
The land of misfit toys walking back.
They are next to a gaffer tape manufacturer...
or duct? :)
i always get confused with this, but... do we still have the rule where backmarkers to get unlap themselves soon? or was that ages ago?...
It came back.
that rule still exists
I can't type, too much to see :P
We still do. But everyone is on the lead lap.
There is a Duck Tape brand
Both Duct and Duck are used here..
i thought it did! but then i got confused when it went away, so i'm never sure if it's just wishful thinking :D
Red Bull is now sponsored by "Siem" after Vettel's accident
But duck tape is much better in the rain anyway.
:D
Hilariously, Kovi now in 16th and Glock in 12th!
Just to get me head around it, 4th is 12 points yes? So Kobi needs to finish 3rd and hope Rosberg and Schumacher don't score?
Adrian looks worried
ah i know, but was just curious.. you know, thought i'd get the rule sorted in my head before the season really got under way.... oh.... erm.. yeah.
:D
it's not that impossible in this race!
Yup. Safety car means Mercs have a shot at scoring points though, especially Schumacher.
dan in ninth
Or not. Sorry about that.
G.Anderson: Vettel damage: reliability: OK Speed: loses 2 tenth
@WilliamsF1Team
Pastor lost rear end grip and hit wall, he's back and ok but disappointed to end season like that
@WilliamsF1Team
Bruno squeezed out on first lap, he's not back in the paddock yet
@Lotus_F1Team
Sufficient carbon fibre debris on track to create next year's Brazil GP Team entry #FullBrazilian
I think they only put the safety car out because millions of people were running into blood pressure trouble
Just understanding permatations, in the event I prematurely celebrate Kobi finishing 4th.
c'mon Kart, ruins Seb's race again!
my live timing says they are.. but a refresh proves that wrong. bless f1.com getting confused.
this is good, the unlappers are doing it hastily, and a short track too
Charlie gives away his lottery numbers.
I can't get a handle on this, the order is shuffling so frequently. The second 23 is going to be grand
Safety car worked out perfectly for Lewis
I feel like all of JBs work has gone now *sobs*
anyone know what tyres JB and Hulk have used? Both?
both.
come on Charlie, lets get a move on!
Any rain clouds on the horizon?
Can I hope for a Kobi kamikaze move on Vettel on the restart?
I can confirm if people aren't sure. You only don't have to use both dry tyres if you yourself used a kind of wet tyre.
FOM translated Alonso's radio!!
ohhhh i like the translation service!!
Well, that's new!
Oooh a new service of translation on screen if drivers speak in non-English
I wonder if they told Ferrari about that?
And the only people who have not used wet tyres are JB and Hulk and they have used both slick compounds so no-one has to pit again for tyres.
FIA ruin Ferrari's only advantage.
I expect a protest from Ferrari
ohh about 15mins till more rain. hope we've all recovered by now! it's not gonna get any less exciting! :D
Come on Safety Car!
How long until Ferrari learn Zulu?
Alonso still drives for them though.
I wouldn't like to be Force India's heart right now!
Or Esperanto
Am guessing SC in at the end of this lap.
BBC shoehorning in Jordan 2003 reference
Alonso on medium, if it starts to rain again he'll get the advantage
they are gonna have to make us their own language now...
THAT 2003 race. Fisi only won because his team-mate's suspension failed spectacularly.
Ok safety car I have had my roa... unspecified sunday related food, you can come in now.
#confidentialfromamy
this SC period is actually quite welcome!
SC has been useful - made Mrs^ some dinner.
Good timing
You're right
Which made him very 'appy
it worked!
ohh Martin thinks the tyres JB and Hulk are on are gonna warm up quicker!
And right on cue.
They just waited for the backmarkers to catch up.
Too bad Checo is out, this is the perfect time for his wiper helmet.
Mmmm I also have a strawberry and lime rekorderlig.
Go Hulk!!
that was quick. Nachos?
Crofty 'the best thriller since Micheal Jackson went into a recording studio;
and here... we... GO
I'm sure Charlie was insistent on my yorkshire pudds.
go JB! GO!
GREEN.
Hulk leads the field away in Brazil and not for the first year
Combo of oven-y / grill-y stuffs :)
kamui!!!
Webberr!!!
JEEEZ Louise
What is Mark doing?!
I love how neither of them knew what to do there :D
I was worried Hulk was Rubensing it.
Already mad
Webber - what a plonker
Kobiiiiiiii
Oh I bet there was yelling in Webbers earpiece then!
oh dear god
the wrong red bull fell back!
Web out on the wet
Paul!
Kamui!
Schumacher ahead of Webber!
Heart rate up again. :) Webber scared off the track by his team radio no doubt!
Kamui angling for a Ferrari drive.
come on paul!!
JB come on now! battling with the wrong driver!
Vettel vs Alo!!! ON TRACK!
look at hulk, wow.
oh my timing is wrong, silly thing.
JB go go go!
i have that too, it#s been a bit mad tpday
*today
DRS
NO LEWIS!
Aww lewis!
Sam Posey in the SPEED booth as it's their last broadcast. Nice to hear him.
Lewis takes Button! Intersesting
noooooooooooooooo *humph*
That is how to overtake
di resta should make an amazing move on vettel ;)
you should know it's far from over!
Or let Massa past and wait for the carnage
amazing = crash ?
i'm moving in, and learning welsh.
oh yes, but i want it to be easy ;)
my new job means i can't learn any more welsh :9
Watch out Button!
*:(
If Nico Hulkenberg were Brazilian, he'd be a national hero.
And there was me predicting the Hulk for 1st spinner
Koby! that was amazing!
Glock has a puncture
No, Kobi!
Wow, Alonso moves further from podium!
Kobi needs 3rd remember
Kobayashi passes Alonso.
Crofty says Leeeeroy Jenkins moment
hehehehe Crofty 'one more Leroy Jenkins moment for Kamui before he leaves!'
KAMUIIIII!
:D
this is crazy!
And who's right behind him? >_>
di resta falling back smiley dan way up there!
Good boy Felipe, now aim for that bullseye on the RB
Massa lining up Vettel in his sights.
alonso on kamui!
Alo goes fastest S3.
Alonso takes 4th back again! Wwow
who needs drs? just have a hilly straight
Kimi off track.
Nice tankslapper Kamui!
Kobi nearly dropped it there
Cautious Vettel at the moment
rain is all F1 ever needs...
oh thats a shame. my cousin posts things like Ye fflyds yn llanfair pg di'r problem. Ma'r tywydd fod gwella fory yn ol pob son a gwaethygu eto dydd sadwrn on Facebook and now who's going to tell me what that says?
Well, Google translate.
come on massa, go on!
Massa looming over Vettel now
That is what I said all along. Uphill straight followed by downhill braking zone
Well, I can tell you what problem means
Bore da.
Hulk is crazy fast...
I think Kobi will always be at the team in spirit.
Massa is driving like a champ today
FOM director must be having a mare knowing when to squeeze replays in
crazy awesome
How? What? I do hope its time not telling you you can't?!
Well the course was through the MoJ, and I don't work for the MoJ any more
thats about as far as my welsh goes
Good move by Vettel to let him past
You have a new job?
i wanna see Hulk and Vettel in the same car!
massa. legend.
Massa ahead of Vettel!
Yes!
No Felipe use that Ferrari like the truck it is!
go massa :D
Cor that RBR is slow in a straight line
rob is happy!
wooohoooo! now we just need Smiley Dan to overtake Vettel....
Phew....
There is a good BBC course though :-)
now come on smiley dan!!!
Likewise, and it's the wrong time of day to say it anyway :/
Nearly half way now!
JENSON WILL YOU NOT LOOSE LEWIS PLEASE!
Hulk, now HAM purpling
more than his career is worth.
Still evaluating other possibilities!
It's a shame as I was really enjoying it
Smiley Dan won't be smiling if he passes Seb
pah! Mclaren will give him a job when they realise they don;t like Checo ;)
Kimi vs Schu now!
he makes for good smiley photos though.
cringe
I predicted this at the beginning of the year! Finally!!
Also, it's not Dan's fault that Vettel damaged his car and is a slow snail :)
There's only normal overtaking now. I'm bored.
Didn't schu pull off a mega overtake on Kimi here in his first retirement race?
He's bothered? Who was Vettel avoiding when he hit the SC board in Abu Dhabi again?
vettel now falling back down the field... Come on Alonso!
JB is fast in the first sector.
Dan would've probably been warned after that...
only halfway, fbfb!!!!
Vergne?
Massa! Close to a spin.
JB you have to be 2n'd cause Alo needs a podium and i wont have it be yours...
There are 'noises' upstairs and I do not want to go and look....
Well it was a Toro Rosso anyway...
snappety snaptastic
Silly Ben, they'll never let Felipe pass Fernando
Has anyone ever won the champ at Brazil by actually winning it? Oh Kimi I guess
oooh vettel almost lost it
felipe goes past, overtakes everyone than backs them into Alonso.
Crofty pointing out that as the track drys it puts Vettel is a bad situation handling wise.
..... and rain is due in a few mins.... hahahahaha
i wish to see this again without the almost.
oommmgggg
Handed to him ;)
nice move by felipe!!!
Lovely overtake, Massa on Kobi
massa's been awesome 2nd half of this season.
calm before the storm right now
Late Breaking News from Massa... I'm Late Breaking into that corner
JB purple!!!
Vettel limping to championship glory here
felipe's best race. incredible.
who would back felipe in the wet?
I can't believe Hulk is actually winning this one
Ted 'still a fine mist drizzle in the air'
Good thing Rob got that text msg to his wife done before the race, it's served them well.
mcLaren 3 points down on Ferrari now
its like hes finally recovered from spring in the face
*bounces*
Felipe v fast in S1 - that'll be the DRS for you
He was imperious here in very similar conditions in 08.
anywhere but silverstone :)
Raining heavier in T8
Felipe finds form and Ferrari finish above McLaren in the standings, who'd a thought it?
Pauli has spun
terrible race for di resta.
ohh paul...
Petrov 12th now
Wow Paulo
terrible second half of the season.
at the risk of angry responses... has he really had that good of a season?
So, who thinks PdR is better than Hulk?
yes, terrible. :(
Spot the dry line...
i just cleaned my teeth and never took my eyes off the tv. i literally can never not have an ensuite ever again.
goooo Kimi!
wheel to wheel stuff!
Superb Kimi Schu battle!
kimi is incredible.
hoooly...
You'd think it was 10 years ago!
**jaw drops**
Kimi & Schuey... :o
in those conditions as well.
Fair play from both of them
he has no fear....
AHHH! wow
Kimi got by Schumi
HAM is 'in the window'. I wonder how the tyres are doing. What rain may come?
Bruno with Lee on the beeb.
Ooh I think I caught up with comments.
First half was good. If you look at the points charts for the two FI drivers Paul has the lead for most of the season. Last half dozen races have been terrible. He was interviewed yesterday and says he is struggling because of his smooth driving style. Hulk is a bit more Hamilton than Button and that seems to suit the car/tyres
this has possibily been the best hour of F1 racing i have ever seen... ever.
Bruno blames Seb
rightly so I might add
di Resta gets Schumi
Schu well and truly being shoved aside by the new guard
First FI win since Jordan if this continues
Bland last race for Schumi so far
Alonso falling back from that precious podium now
What does that make Rosberg, then...?
coincidentally that was fisichella, who almost got FI's first win in... 2008?
Is Vijay in Brazil? I hope not!
do you still watch jensons win in monaco? i seem to recall a time you watched it daily :D
We've come along way since the days that the Red Bulls used to fall to pieces/ explode whenever they felt like it..
Cmon Webber, go rogue!
DC didn't help :)
he seems lost. I'm glad there's a reason like driving style, though, Steven.
hehe... occasionally :D i also have most of JBs wins on dvd and recorded so they sometimes get put on while doing sketchbook work... kinda hoping i'll get this one too :D
Hope Hulk's bonus scheme is a good one
No, Raikkonen beat him at Spa in the end.
I said at the start of the season that I expected Hulk to have the upper hand and I was suprised it was not the case for a large part of the season
That's what I mean, he almost got the win
TED DRIZZLE
he said almost :)
Spa 2009.
Ted 'it's started drizzling again'
"keep going mate"
good advice that.
alonso needs the rain to come back, his mediums won't go to the end
If Willi Weber negotiated his contract before he and Hulk parted ways, I'm sure it will be great.
Im sure his airline will get him there in a hurry!
...oh waitaminute
hehehe Kimi has a good responce for that :)
Vijay is still staring angrily at EJ somewhere
Is Vettel nursing his car to the end? Seems so.
context:
http://twitpic.com/787uny
HAM slowly catching Hulk
slightly dangerous in a way, if people behind get some pace
Webber being slippy.
Webber getting very twitchy
oh, everytime i see webber go off i think it's vettel...
it's apparently raining again
Webber braked on the white line
happening to the wrong red bull!
White line there with Webber...
eek!
did Vettel have his DRS open early?
And people thought Ferrari would be better with Mark?
hehehehe Ted 'watch out Nico, here comes Lewis!!!'
someone is getting excited!
seriously though, where is the DRS line, because Vettel's was open through turn 3
It's slippery.
it's midway through turn 3 i believe
#affinity
correct
ah ok, got it now!
come on Koby..... this is your chance... do... well.. be yourself.
I thought on a Sunday the system was fixed so it was only possible at the lines.
You have nothing to lose, apart from lose 6th in the championship.... don't do anything stupid man.
Martin saying Koby is backing Vettel into danger. behind Vettel is Mark.. he's fine..
Alonso can't seem to make headway, even if Vettel falls back
Mark is a danger to himself today
As it stands, if Vettel is 7th, Alonso needs to win the race to take the title.
It is, but it's been known to work incorrectly... for example Alonso in China was it?
wow, major wear for kamui.
hehehehe Crofty 'like a small ball of mozzerella cheese' - regarding the tyres.. lol!
With Vettel in P7, Alonso needs to win the race to be champion
:) Let's hope the FIA were watching
Crofty saying, nice that there are some corner names here.
yellows?
Awww petrobv is off
Big flatspots on that caterham
That shot will be used in a montage later on.
I missed Red Bull turning infiniti into title sponsors.
:(
As is any chance of some cash
petrov, you silly, silly man.
Marussia loving this atm
heikki ftw!
The only thing this race hasn't had so far?
Super-Slo-Mos... Hasn't been time.
Don't cross the
streamswhite lines.best.tweet.ever - https://twitter.c…72749053111062529
@NickHeidfeld Don't forget to breath #f1
Marussia are just rubbing salt in the wound now
Only the same one a few times, Vettel's exhaust damage.
yellows again
and gone
yellows...
HULK!!!
poor Hulk
WHHAAATTT
Hamilton leads.
HULK IS SECOND
What? What?
hang on...
oh noooooooo
ohhhh Hulk spun...
https://twitter.c…72749624975032320
James Roberts
@JRobertsF1
Interesting dilemma for Charles Pic now. Does he help Marussia or his future employers Caterham in their epic battle for tenth!?! #F1
he must feel AWFUL
poor Hulk
Oh, Nico did a Sergio.
come on Jenson. P2 please...
Nooo! Hulk
red Bull look like they think it's gonna rain
Hulk will be angry. You won't like him when he is angry
Rain
...but not enough to give ALO the 3rd
So just like Button, Kobayashi is stopping Vettel's fightback through the field.
Oh Nico :(
one error, just one was enough
but i bet he isn't crying... #stupidvettel
it looks very misty
Hulk Slip!
and McLaren overtake ferrari again!
force india have tyre temp issues
that tyre is a mess
Alonso's tyres are shoddy aren't they. Eeesh
He was soo close to Hulk Crash!
:)
Will Buxton - Seb's pass stands, no penalty. It's been reviewed many times. Yellow was a reflection from Pirelli sign. ???
Ted 'everyone;'s tyres are starting to hurt. Horner is out in the pitlane looking for rain'
There are so many championship battles going on!
Looks like we are in for another set of stops. Could be like roulette. Pit or don't pit at the right time and you cold be handed the race
What? Three times?
Went over this earlier. It wasn't a yellow flag, it was the red & yellow "oil" flag.
Alonso needs to be on the podium to have any chance right? SO WHY IS HE NOT FIGHTING?!
thats not what race control is saying
i'm not super convinced they would put the oil flag on a light board
the longer he makes the soft tyres last, the more choice the team have.
no idea. :(
Vettel sliding about
I have seen those on the boards before
He can't
It was being shown on the light boards around the track for several laps by that stage.
but i can't cope with this not knowing! hehehe
but that's really confusing
*adjusts tin hat*
go on seb, have a cheeky spin
Buxton is talking garbage. Nothing unusual in that
yellows
yellow, where?
Yes, it is.
long yellow.... what's happened?
Radio not working for seb!
Seb radio fail!
"Move the microphone seb"
water?
why wouldn't race control just say that, then? I'm confused. Why say it was a Pirelli sign reflection if it was the wet track warning? Makes no sense.
Seb
The radio does not work. Move the mic ???????
HOw long until Seb compares himself to Senna again.
inters for rosberg!
Hulk is faster than Ham
Ros on Inters
big move for nico!
They're trying their hardest to not get involved in the championshi[
F1 officiating - It makes no sense. Situation normal
DC says it's stitched into balaclava
Slicks for smiley dan
Nico taking a necessary risk.
Smiley Dan puts on slicks
Dunno, but if it's the same incident I'm thinking of that Sky replayed half an hour ago or so, Race Control are wrong.
MArk in for inters soon?
Nooo what happened in last 3 minutes? Tinyboy just upended a cup of tea in a box... (not mine!) and his sister ran away!
This FIA compliant electronic flag can display Oil flag... www.emmotorsport.…s/t1-light-panels
Not sure it's the one they have though.
fbfb is your friend :)
Slicks for red bull it seems
Vettel pits.
Vettel in
Vettel pits
Laptime for making the switch to inters is about 1.26
yellow
yellow ....?
Yes, true. We should consider it's Buxton saying 'my contact in race control.' Could mean anything.
everytime i see a yellow i worry it's JB...
long yellow
gone yellow
Softs
TED says no further rain
Hulk 1.5 behind 1st and going faster
"My EXCITING and HUGE contact in Race Control... ADJECTIVE"
TED says big crack in Vettels rain
Ted: Big crack in Vettels floor. *giggle*
Vettel's rain? Vettel's floor
awww, kimi went off
Kimi found a secret road!
Achievement Unlocked
Ted 'it's the same drizzle mizzle that's been in the air for the last 10mins'
drizzle mizzle......
Kimi's found a new track
exactly. It's probably the dog under the table.
Kimi detour
:)
Shame the gate was there
hahahaha Kimi went up a dead end
Hahahahaha that was amazing
ooh Kimi...
amazing
Raikkonen going downtown.
THIS RACE HAS EVERYTHING!!!
if you do that on F1 2012 you get warped back to the track
you think you've seen it all...
Kimi reaches the parts other drivers don't
Hulk right behind lewis!
Kimi getting lost, lol
that's where Kimi stopped in FP3, you'd think he'd know it was a dead end
what the...?
Ice Cream hunt
1.1 Hulk to Ham
Kimi still rallyes!
Katherine was that Narnia?
Kimi tempted to have a look again
It suddenly looks darker there
martin ' if he'd have turned up for his track walk he would hve known all about that....'
Where the..?
:) :)
HULK!
OMG!!!!
OOHOHOHOHJHKHJK
NO!
CRASH
CONTACT! Hulk & Ham,
NOOOOOO
nooooooooooooooooooo
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
aaaaaaaa
nooooo
BUTTON LEADS
ALONSO!!!!!!
Silly Lewis & Hulk!
Can we have an F1 Debrief called Kimi Raikkonen's Magic Detour?
But JB and ALO?!
Yes!
alonso on the podium :)
ALONSO LEADS THE CHAMP
OOHHHHHHHHHHH
The race that keeps on giving.
Lewis crashes..... JB 1st.... Alonso has the championship....?
lewis is gonna get black flagged
Lewis back on track???
Bye Bye Lewis!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm YELLING!
Don't understand Lewis not taking the inside line into the corner
was that heikki? oooof
come on alonso
Hulk lost the back of his car
Hulk slid into him!
Hulk lost the back end
awwww poor hulk :(
vettel pits!
Shame, BIG BIG Shame
racing incident
Vettel for inters..
Vette; back in for another stop!!!!
oh good, not really heikkis fault.
Vettel on INters
Seb on inters
ALONSO!!!
I'll say it again!! JB AND ALONSO
Vettel gambling!!
Hulk's fault. He lost the back end. Happens a lot at that corner and an entirely forgiveable mistake
Alonso must be doing his demon laughing now.
Very long stop for Vettel, no tyres ready for him
Ted 'Vettel, no tyres were waiting for him!'
that mclaren parked scared me for a second.
yaaaaaay
Lewis has stopped
OMG Everything has changed now. Alonso back in the lead
OMG ALONSO
WOOOAHH
JB leading and Alonso's championship?? THIS WOULD BE THE BEST RACE EVER!
Alonso needs inters
EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING AGAIN
BUT Alonso may need to stop too.
RBR screwed up pit stop for VET. No radio?
oh
Wrong tyre to be on, surely?
Although saying that, nice catch Alonso!
OMG This race
Crofty: "Multiple cats being thrown into a tree full of pigeons"
Hamilton just wanted to be on the inside of the track.
careful now
Alonso BE CAREFUL
Alonso has incredible car control, Not many would have saved that
Best race of the year!
This. Is. The. Best!!!
e.v.e.r
What. A. Race!
What now. What now!?!?!
Great quote
red bull didnt have the tyres out!!!
Light boards are showing the oil flag again. Red & Yellow.
i fell sick... so..awesome...
Seriouls need the rate the race to go up to 11 on this one!!
No tyres for Seb Vet
11 out of 5!!!
:D best...quote of the year!
What a championbship decider
That might be championship wining car control there
Alonso pits.
Yup: 1,2,3,4,5,11
Wooowooaaahhh
ALo pits
Vettel back into champ position..
OH MY GOD! Sitting there with NO TIRES! argh! Even though it's Vettel and I don't mind..the anguish of SITTING there.
everyones off all over the place. they need dougal.
irishjaunt.com/wo…d-careful-now.jpg
great move
Yet again Button stays out...
is hulk still running????
JB still out
Hulkenburg has a drive through
YES!!
totally missed that!!!
Drive Through for Hulk.
Giving one to Vettel for Senna yet? >:(
I think my live timing is telling lies - Hulk is still running?
Oh come on, how can Hulk get a penalty for that and Seb doesn't for hitting Senna?!
Massa will let him through
Drive through for HULK!?
What is happening
Button still on dry tyres. #Hero
Whoever wins the championship today deserves it. Holding everything together today!!!
Hulk penalty and Massa gift could switch it back?
Vettel has the championship by 3points atm......
JB pit?
Button in
I admire christine's everything for having to FBFB this
JB pits! for inters
she need a hug
I think it is a bit harsh to penalise Hulk for that. That was a racing incident in very difficult conditions. No way is it worth a penalty
dear lord, yes.
Agreed
That couldve been a trulli-sutil moment
can you force Kamui off like that?
she is a very wonderful person for sacrificing her fingers for this.
how did hulk get close enough to try a pass on lewis?
I agree! He just lost traction like everyone else is.
actually thatsb all this race needs, trulli and sutil sissy fight
ohhh i'm gutted for Lewis. :(
Can we all agree no, and put Kobi up to 3rd?
The F1 2012 season might surpass Buffy season 6 as the best box set ever,
Absolutely.
backmarkers
~Good job this is the last race - she'll need the months rest (slow-typing)
it looks a lot wetter now!
New rain
he deserved a podium for this race... :(
oh, poor Lewis.
oooooohh something fell off Seb's car
weather forecasts are so rubbish here in Sao Paulo
bit more car falling off
'new rain has just developed' .... amazing. ..
not the best end to his first mclaren career
Next weather update for the teams on that screen:
"you know what? I give up. Tell for yourselves."
Vettel now 7th, which should be enough if Alonso is just 3rd.
"just look up, people."
Alonso will be second. Vettel 8th
his second mclaren career will be much more sucessful tho :)
7th*
Oh man it looks reealllly wet in the background
how is scumi now 6th?
Confused now. If Alonso is 2nd, Vettel needs to be...?
unless webber slows down :)
Charles pic is 11th!
SKILLZ.
7th
old rain is soo lap 12
Brundle: "they both have team mates ahead of them to give them places"
i am already counting down the days :D
With new and improved everything.
Massa is gonna have an off or somethign that means he is 6secs a lap slower for a lap... you just watch..
:D
possible change to wets sooon?
Seb, please just go ahead and throw it away!
Extreme wets soon?
i'm sure it'll correspond with his 2nd championship too ;)
12 laps to go
Ted 'rain getting heavier'
this race needs a cool fuel controversy
TED: "Proper drops now"
Don't think so.
poor Lewis :(
no, it needs to last forever.
I'd like to see Koby try and take Vettel.
omg I'm going to cry at Lewis
gutted for lewis :(
too many non finishes for lewis this year, sadly
I think we need to send Lewis a SPC hug!
man tears
Gutted for Hulk too
big hugs at mclaren
Bernie, if you're listening, can we have all 19 races at Brazil next season?
yes
an applause at McLaren for Lewis.
Totally. He has so much bad luck. That was self-inflicted though. Never should have taken a wide entry to that corner
Alonso 3 seconds behind Massa
they're listening to us! ;)
JB has a very healthy lead now
i might stay out of it, last time i went near him i jinxed him.
so much speed and so little grip
Although clearly the inside line didn't have much grip
Blocked the Caterham
Owen Wilson is frozen in tension.
or acting.
love that the f1 timing app have screwed up the tyres again. saying massa out there on slicks
second that.
DC: "One of the Owen brothers" :)
So that's where Ferrari got their nose from #OwenWilson
do.not.jinx.this....
JB happy on the inter
hehehehehe
i like the 'roger' :D
Quote of the day!
Roger!
Oh dear! hahahaha
Heikki pitting, gambling on the wets? or onto inters?
there's alonso's position :)
there is the ferrari swap.
charles pic to win!
How many points for 7th?
Amazing overtake by Alonso there ;)
Kobi is 3.6 behind Vettel but over 1s slower on the last lap
6
oh an, it could be just 1 point to vettel if it ends like this
Vettel only ONE place above the threshold
cmon kamui!
Enough for Vettel to take the title if Alonso doesn't win.
Alonso needs two more points!!!!
Well you're gonna have to catch JB...
I think the BBC gave the overtake of the season too soon after that pass.
He didn't need that much grip. Heikki was going wide so Hulk could not have passed him on the outside. Hulk found plenty grip on the inside. He only went sideways because he carried enough speed in to make the pass. Lewis could have gone in slow, parked it on the apex and then exitted the corner first.
Easy to say that sitting here of course
Points:
25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1
Has his alternator stopped alternating yet?
Jenson to move over maybe? :P
one point in it at the mo! OH GOODNESS
No chance. McLaren would not help Ferrari
Vettel's car has holes in it.... maybe it'll fill up with water and he'll just slow down... #hopeful
I like your thinking
I know can hope though.
Can RB turn Mark's car off remotely?
it breaks when it gets hot. he has extra cooling now.
2nd in constructors to fight for too
Water & Electricity don't mix
Alonso needs to stop not winning by 1 point.
nah McL have lost that with Ham gone
Every time someone says Abu Dhabi I think yabba dabba.
Pic up in 12th, hah!
Ferrari pretty much have that now.
Willing Schumi to take some of Seb's wing...
I like that the battle for 10th is actually happening on track.
the £7m position
Couple of drivers on full wets
Hulk still pushing for a posium
Gaffer tape drainage ;)
vettel all over schumi
podium*
come on Schumi, dont get easy to overtake now....
Schumi, do your swipe.
Oh thats pathetic.
Cautious Vettel.... Mercs all over the place
oh Michael!
HATE that guy.
Schumacher i hate you.
Teams doing it in the team I understand. That's just stupid.
Meanwhile Pic 12th, Petroc 13th
Nice one, Schumi. :)
GERMANS!!! Grrrr
No effrot what so ever..pfft.
German pulls over to help fellow German in title race shock...
well at least his last move in F1 was ridiculous...
michael you're a weak old man. just chuff off.
Schumi is a jerky jerk jerk.
He wouldn't have done that in any other race
!.3 secs apart!
Patriotism. Vettel had it anyway
7 world titles says otherwise. ;)
6 laps to go :(
does pic help his current team or let petrov through to fund his future team?>
ohhhh i'n so sad...
JB.. just give Alonso the lead :(
Looks like Ms Holt will be clicking publish on Vettel's article in 6 laps
*keeps fingers crossed f1 fanatic incorrectly publish a Lewis article early*
JB has a pitstop in his pocket - Ted - cute phrase.
We made Vettel crash, we made it rain, now let's concentrate on his car disintergrating completely!
oooooh
It's a Brundleism.
He will always have those titles but he is still going to get older and weaker. Fangio has 5 but he is still dead
*concentrates*
Caterham...
5 laps to go
Oi!
petrov is past pic!
Petrov!
PETROV DOES IT!!!
He's still stronger than any of us, I'm sure.
PETROV!
did pic let that happen?
He is not racing us
It's only 20 seconds...
haha
Alonso helping Petrov helping Pic.
Where does Vettel need if Alonso wins?
petrov saves heikki's drive?
And he's 7th, with Rosberg 15th.
Hulk - do your job as Seb goes by!
4th.
Mike - 4th
i hope so!
4th
I don't think Schumi let Vettel through. He's now 18s behind Vettel.
Live Constructors graphic is filled with zeroes, but a crucial up and down arrow is all that matters
Alonso can't catch JB......
sidepodcast.com/e…2#comment-3101175
So Mark would make him 5th... not enough
didnt JB say he'd prefer Alonso to be champion?
go ob JB, you know you want to...
*on
Smiley Dan is charging after both of the minnows
di resta gets vernie.
Whatever happens... this will be JB's 15th win. and that's HUGE for me <3
7.4s
Just passed 2000 comments
red bull telling vettel to chill out.
Rocky warning Vettel through his broken radio
Yes lets let Seb think he wins then penalize him..
crazy race
Will Petrov save his seat for next year with 12th?
We were over 500 before the race started
Broken mic, he can still hear
"Let's keep it on the black stuff" :)
If Vettel breaks the car or throws it off cause he can't slow down, that would be the icing ont he cake
i really wanted Alo to become the next 3 x champion :(
anyone for a guinness?
Kinda happy that Vettel's mic isn't working as we head to the chequered flag.
*concentrates*
we still have the last corner of the last lap!....
ricciardo on his way to ruin it.
MEGA jiggle for Horner.
I'll say it quietly, but I think Petrov has had the better season compared to Kovalainen.
the run off area is black too, go off seb
true.
When will Vettel's car remember it has a French engine?
it feels like weeks ago that Vettel spun on lap 1. What a race
I've just started a wine. #tootense
Also... we get a JB, Alonso and Massa podium, the podium interview is gonna be GREAT!
it'll feel so so wrong for vettel to have more championships than alonso :(
Can we hope for a cheeky JB spin?
champion won't be on the podium to celebrate :(
i've just realised how hard i've been gripping my rekordelig, it's caused a brief imprint on my palm...
yesss!!!
NO
can we have vettel spin instead of Alonso?
cause he's a quitter.
very true
I bet vettel won't even sing Queen like proper champions
I can play Au Claire De La Lune on the Rekordelig.
Kamui spins
yellow. Kamui,
Yellow - Kobayashi
:)
Oh Kobi!
He said he'd quit, but what matters is what he did - and he didn't quit.
I wonder is Schu chopped him
sugar.
racing incident
i think you live in opposite land
Schumi left him a car width
Kobi! How could you miss! :C
I can't stand the RBR celebrations either on the radio or their music
A JB win to start the season and end the season :)
But Seb has no mic :D
Yellow...
ohhh di resta!
yellows again.. please be VET
A shame he only had one other win in between.
semantics. he'll always be the quitter to me #newschumi
PAULLLLLL
that#'ll be a SC finish...
BIG one...
cant we pool our money and lure newey away from rbr?
No! SC end's the season!
THAT IT
Paul di Resta has had a big crash
THATS IT
SC?
Safety car!!
Vettel is champion
Isn't it the same as Hulk and Hamilton? (with the exception of no one taken out)
is he okay!?!?!
SC Vettel World Champion
whoa.
BOOO
he lpooks to be ok, phew
what a joke
And that will do it.
He's moving and shuffling
Petrov up to 11th then
he's moving
he's got out ok :)
Wow, well I guess after a race like that, a SC finish was the final flourish
ohh Paul... thanks for giving the win to JB :)
PdR with a Webber 2003.
Looks like Paul lost the back end, steered to correct and that took him into the wall
time for Vettel's car to break.
ending under yellow. BOO.
Anti climax
Unless Vettel's car dies this lap... >_>
It tried to be like 2008. It really did. But it just wasn't quite the same.
Paul deserves the sack for ruining this finish
ah well, 3 points is better than 1 i guess.
i'm going to go to bed now. i dont want to see any vettel interviews at 5 in the morning.
11th for Caterham
Caterham 11th
spin off under the SC, seb!
Petrov 11th.
Don't like it but better than green, white, checker
safety car in??...
I never thought Caterham would do it. Wow. This race, guys.
Anyone for doughnuts?
That means Pic WILL be 12th, but Petrov is 11th!
same
amazing effort!
Sorry but that is ridiculous
wonderful stuff...
I don't blame you. G'night/morning.
Last lap.
harsh!
Amen.
sleep well!!
Don't think I can watch the Seb Vettel lovein thats coming.
Safety car comes in so you don't finish under safety.
Well done Jenson :)
true.
Realtime going nuts. Can barely comment on the desktop no.
Jenson WINNNNNNNNSSSSS!!! (Ignoring that Vettel won the championship)
Enjoy your two hours sleep
Petrov the 10 million dollar man
*counces*
Damn you seb! Well done though
yep thats me out too, cheers everyone, great year, disappointing finish.
That finished has left me a little deflated
*bounces* even.
That was anticlimatic
Yep.
The perfect race to sum up how crazy this seaosn has been
Wow, the finish didn't ruin it for me. I never thought with a 13 pt difference that it would be so tense all race long!
A dramatic and unpredictable end to a dramatic unpredictable season.
Of course, the big result of the day, was Kobayashi scoring Saubers first points since Japan.
Woo!
I can hear the paperwork at MKC and English Partnerships starting already :-)
Looks like he might be back in F1 yet. He got Caterham's TWO best finishes, IIRC.
Horner almost in tears
we could not ask for more than that. f1 truly delivered.
awwww tears get to me.. whoever they are...
good ol' interlagos
best.sport.in.the.world.
Now that was a great race. So much better than Austin
2013 is going to be rubbish, isn't it?
Well he was faceing backwards with a hole in his rear at the back of the pack on lap 1, so... good job
Not the most popular comment, But!
...Thats what you get for celebrating the championship at Monza WHEN YOU DIDNT WIN THE RACE
F1 - you have done this season proud
AND JENSON WINS!!! YEAH BABY! :D :D :D
austin was a good race for a completely dry, new tilke circuit!
this had COMPLETELY DIFFERENT circumstances.
Kimi faltered at the very end - he didn't complete every racing lap in the season as he was a lap down at the end. Boo.
Just always have to take your shot, don't you....
Gotta agree.
you're never going to get over such a non-event are you?!
At least Fernando gave it everything...
Still :(
#getoverit
Will they get Vettel on the podium for the live interview
when did that happen?
This helps :)
@jessybondgirl
Fantastic way to end the season! Won the first race and the last race! Love it!!!
:D
it didn;t happen
Really heavy rain now!
:p
Seb didn't make it easy on himself
photographer rush!
Ooh, Felipe on the podium though!
Well, it was good, and I disagree with Steven there. But this was still better.
Bodygurard fighting off the togs!
there's gonna be a fight!
You love the stir the pot, huh? :) He was in front of the Tifosi, enjoying the moment.
Go on stewards, give Vettel a time pen for the Senna accident at the start... >:)
bless you nick.
I wasn'r referring to steven, I meant Nick's crazy Monza comments
Horner "I don't wanna go through a race like that again!"
Seb "Thanks for moving over Michael"
TeeHee
i doooooooo!
Horner: I'm completely shattered, I never want to go through a race like that again
hahaha bless you Vettel..
that poor fia delegate
fernando :(
It all sinks in for Alonso
can a photographer please get me a shot of JB celebrating...
awww Alonso... :'(
Bull Rider Seb
Alonso has to go on the podium now...
sorry Lou, it's a shame that JB's win is actually way down the list of things that happened today!
Schumi's non existant defending should lead to FIA BANNING HIM!
....wait that won't work
oh, Fernando.
Keeping his helmet on?
I think... Alonso may push ferrari even harder next year. next championship MUST be his.
massa on the podium will be lovely :)
Only 1 happy guy on the podium. Great race JB
someone must have a pic of him getting out... bloody Vettel.
So, does this mean Vitaly saves Heikki's job?
Can't Vitaly save his own job??
Or his own!
I think Pic did it by giving him the position
michael who?
I think he just did. Still needs to bring some cash though.
:)
i think JB will be supportive of Alonso, i just get the feeling he'll be sensitive in this situation. Alonso gets to feel how Massa did in 2008. I hate that someone has to loose out :(
DC scored points for red bull, who'da believed it
(some of the) gerrrrrrmans
Never heard of him
Andretti? o:)
A great, great showdown
*heh*
The first driver Seb talked to after getting out of the car.
Fernando who? ;)
alonso should be IMMENSELY proud of 2012 and how far he pushed that car :)
high fives to christine. dunno how she covered that today.
stunned the server is still running.
glad to have shared that one.
it was a piece of crap, really.
hehe
#minischumi
Well this season has been the best one I've ever experienced.
Fangio. Schumacher. Vettel.
Three in a row. Well done.
Vettel stepped off the weighing machine and was hugging horner, Katherine looked up at the tv and noticed Vettel and one of the other drivers on the weighing machine and said, "how freakin' tall is he"?
handsdown
incredible effort. I hope a certain mr c treats her :)
a racing ironning board, i think i called it at the beginning of the season..
best race of the best season made even better by the best live commenting thread
with a dent :)
Emma says Vitaly is tall and hard to build around. #keepHeikki
I lie the way Riccardo shook horners hand before vettels, like you would a perspective employer!
massa's in tears!! awwwww
RAH generic Rock!
So glad Massa got on the podium.
we didn't see the podium cap/watch room!
*sings*
And now for a warm down exercise she has to transcribe interviews
no jessy there today :(
Don't let Mark see the cardboard flags
Massa crying, Fernando soo sad, but JB :D
Heh heh.
well done JB, great way to start/finish a seaosn :D
**tweets at Martin & Crofty as they mention the "yellow" flag overtake again**
thanks Christine - amazing job
ehehehehe another one ticked off for JB :D
Amazing
We should have Christine do that WPM typing test at the beginning and end of the season to see how much it increases.
nice trophy
Tall. Webber isn't that short either.*
*note, next to me almost anyone is tall. Although that also means that sometimes the occasional person is just the right height...
Nice job Christine, indeed :)
Massa crying. I wonder why
Looks like a tin opener.
I guess this makes up for buttons championship win without a podium in 09
Oh look, massa milking the podium!!111
How many Christian Horner interviews will we have in the next couple of hours?
I'll now have to catch up on my redress analysis to produce the 'fair'-WDChampion.
It looks like a rough map of the Interlagos circuit...
So if Ferrari sort their car out next year, is Massa worth a punt?
Christine you are amazing, Thank you for every single thing you've done for us this season. Not just this race (while that has been awesome), but for every post, every FBFB and every comment you've over seen. You and Mr C are remarkable people and I'm so happy you've allowed us all to share these moments with you and such a wonderful community. *hugs for everyone* :)
How many world championships have been won off the podium versus won on the podium?
how dare he, he didn't win, HE'S STEALING THEIR MOMENT.
+1
you said it best :)
I think I have FBFB elbow.
:))
Nope
No
Thanks to all Mr. and Mrs. and all. It was a great year!
I love that massa is upset for Alonso. he rocks.
Agreed!!
FOM don't know where to point their cam
nelson pique, he ain't no rubens.
Standing ovation for the Cs!
This, oh golly gosh, this!
Nelson Piquet doing interviews. Weird choice
lol, Piquet and Alonso on the podium...
#Singapore
*hugs*
imagine how amazing it would've been rubens congratulating JB :'(
Boo Nelson, still can't forgive crashgate
love JB interviews on the podium...
Agreed!
Agree to that. Well done.
Thank you, Mr and Mrs C. 5 seasons and counting. Rock on. :)
JB knows how to do this
Mr C... Man tears?
Now Mr C, you need to fetch the ice packs...
fernando, remember that time my son crashed for you?
he's a pro :)
Damn, was hoping for PK Jr
:D
hahaha
I vote Lou to do the speech at the end of season awards
aww rubens would've been a far better host. Plus it would've let me have one last dream team moment on the podium.
It's not much to ask!
Good words from Piquet Sr to Alonso.
BlameVote LouSidepodhugs all round
Alonso gracious in defeat
that question may make this *less* awkward.
Magnanamous from Alonso there. He learned from the best, his team mate
Awwww Massa you adorable man! I'm crying with you!
6. i hope?
Felipe baby! :)
aw tis from the heart :)
Oh, yeah. It's 2 in the morning here! :P
where's the FOM translator?
awww
Huge thanks to Christie for her insane coverage this season! (I really really dont know how you do it!)
Huge thanks to Mr C for building technology which works! constantly! ( i dont know how this is)
I have no idea why he's so emotional, except for the location
Nelson Piquet Jr was asked to do the podiums but his father got him to walk into a wall on the way to the podium
look at that non winner, talking to his people in a way they understand. hog.
aw. Massa's been through so much. *hugs*
*cackle*
lol!
who's that Massa/Rubens hybrid in the crowd?
awwww i don't know what he's saying. but it's making me cry...
Phone the police for the moment, it has been stolen
massive buzz kill.
i think he just reeeeeally loves brazil and its been so long since he was on the podium there.
He is copying Schumacher. Schumacher's first few years at Ferrari showed how someone should conduct themselves when things are not going their way. He always backed the team up. He was always positive and he never criticised them in public. Alonso is just copying that
Luckily I can translate what he's saying...
"Actually I would like to announce that I have won the world championship, yes, this is correct, despite what you have heard, or will hear, it's great to win honestly"
Are the FIA going to transcribe this?
Ferrari forgot their trophies... proves they don't care about that..
copying or just doing the right thing?
it must be what they teach them at ferrari
am surprised as you are. biggest day ever for the site today. hundreds and hundreds of syndicated viewers. crazy.
I didnt see the FOM translator, but i wish there was a lebanese driver engineer combo cycling 3 languages in distinguishly
Massa's bro?
Wonderful
Same thing
There needs to be a SPC changed my life T-shirt
I'd LOVE the stewards to spill cold water over all this in the next few hours...
well one's active and one's passive.
it's the f1 way!
We need SPC merch!
horner comes out, it really is bedtime now :D
The Interview is on already.
I ask for a cycling ad unit and it breaks 7 times in 2 weeks, you build all this... flawless!
:)
You can't fault Seb for some of his recovery drives sometimes this year, he's deserved this one.
i feel like i've been arguing this for years ;)
I want a SPC pint glass!
Indeed. Well done to them all.
YES! It's true! All my great friends here....*end of season hugs*
or stickers??
Hey Steven, you still here? Interested in cowriting an article?
I can't believe it's over. Damn you Paul di Resta.
seb did not keep his cool?
mute!
#blamepastor
random question how many 'classic races' has JB won now...? The man has a talent ;)
Talking about pastor... was he even in this race?
@byronf1
Jenson Button's win means he ends three years at McLaren with more points than the man people said would eat him alive. #f1
Is that true? :)
They pretty much told him to chill out towards the end
Neway says Seb could hear the team, but the team couldn't hear him.
it is!
Yup. Button wins by 15 points I think.
Horner: I know you're going off to a much lesser sport Jake
:)
oh, Adrian Newey is a lovely man.
Huzzah, finally...
@MBrundleF1
To answer many it appears the warning lights were red and yellow for slippery track not yellow so nothing to answer for Vettel.
What do you have in mind. It is a while since I sent in an article. I have a safety one in mind and there will be a sidepodspace one when they announce their big news from Mars in a week or two but if you have an idea I am interested
We need #TeamRankings for 2013
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAahahahahahahaahahaha amazing.
JB to be the next British double world Champ! ;)
@MBrundleF1: To answer many it appears the warning lights were red and yellow for slippery track not yellow so nothing to answer for Vettel.
So @burwellian is right. :)
I have a feeling, just a hunch, this is quite satisfying for Lou
Just a slight observation ;)
**bows** Thank you :)
still lost 2/3 of the seasons though #whatcounts
Ok, battery is about dead. See you all later!
I'd love for BBC/Sky to release their Alonso montages that won't get used
and it confirms what we already know: Buxton is an idiot. :)
are sky the only ones beating that drum? even speed called it right. weird.
two years in a row baby!!!
CAPITAL LETTER ADJECTIVES
he had more points than him last year too!
Who said Lewis would beat him? Ahem! Idiots. erm.. That is all
and currently unemployed next season.
i missed what he said!
he is in the paddock - leftfield BBC choice (*noooo*)
he said it was the reflection of a pirelli sign iirc
oh yeah, ahhahaha
forum time!
He said the yellow flags were a reflection from the Pirellis sign
Forum time
Time go. Thanks all, great race, great season, amazing hosts
BBC montage time
...and Crofty follows suit.
@CroftyF1
It appears that the warning lights were red & yellow not just Yellow when Seb passed Kamui. No case to answer for Seb if that's so
his 'contact in race control' said it was a reflection of a Pirelli sign. Jay's explanation was SO much more plausible.
bye Bassano and friends!
who's the new Jake?
Thanks, Bassano!
Mr J: is it that guy that did just drive again?
end of Forum?
we think:
111 days, 11 hours and 48 minutes until the Australian Grand Prix.
it sounds like alistair griffin.
AH just realised it's Mikey Muscles birthday! double celebrations for team Button today!!
Not sure. Not seeing it now.
*waves to Mark*
Oh, I'll miss these guys.
oh Jenson didn't beat Lewis? Lewis has 190, JB 188.. you guys lied to me :(
bloody hell, pastor won a race this season.
This season, phew.
say it again when its 111 11 11
Always No.1 by Alistair Griffin, apparently.
woah the dashboard just turned into the events page
Anyone like to predict time to Wolf Song?
ah ha! Well, least we knew the artist :)
He must be loving the F1 exposure...
I'm off dear people. I have a teen to organise the collection of.... Had a lovely year, owe SPC for a hefty chunk of that :-)
mr c, the dashboard is going nuts
That RBR music is horrible.
Great season, and my first with SPC. Thanks everyone!
oh?
Whenever I post, in the last few minutes, it refreshes to the actual post rather than the dash. I think we've overdashed the dash.
me too! We're too dashing
Im guessing Chris Evans, hosted from london with EJ, AND DC in location
nice montage.
Just did it to me. Chrome Win 7 x64
TED still pushing the yellow flag thing
jake is regenerating!
Wha... bernie is hosting the beeb?
Wha?
pretty Mikey - https://twitter.c…272066048/photo/1
Ugh, not funny.
Argh! Bernie!!!
...and Pat correcting him.
whats happening??
I think I'd actually watch the BBC now.
NO. JUST NO.
anderson ftw.
Chris Evans can't possibly have the time to do it. He already has 5 radio shows a week and the One Show live on a Friday night
no way. Chris Evans wrote a blog saying why he isn't going to get it. :)
Jake morphed into Bernie
Bernie would be a hilarious broadcaster
Red bull have Queen on. Jenson did it better ;)
soz. if you refresh, does it work okay?
And so things are done at SPEED, too. Bob Varsha is not going to NBC next year, but David Hobbs and Steve Matchett will be there. So long, Bob.
And I hope Will Buxton moves elsewhere.
all good now!
Proper reveal after the Forum? (Please)
Thanks for the kind words earlier, people. I responded up there by complaining about my elbow, classy as ever.
i remember when the count down started at 130 odd days.. i'm still sad it's 111 days tho... i will have handed in my dissertation by then... *passes out*
Dear FBFB, Lou said it better but now that you're done...
THHAAANNKKK YYOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
*FBFB montage plays*
To be fair to TED... It was something they were hanging on to in the commentary, and they just asked TED about it after the race.
:D *hugs*
I blame the company you keep
Thanks Christine, thanks FBFB :)
16 years. They're doing their sign off now. Emotional for them.
i honestly can't remember seeing maldonado once in that race
Thanks Mrs & Mr C! Any big plans for the off season (Other than a holiday for Christine's fingers!)
he crashed or something didn't he?
He retired really early, according to Williams. We didn't see it but he hit the wall.
He crash v early (I think)
I saw him walking back to the pits.
Bye bye everyone, thank you for a great season... Lots of fun as always, big thank you to Mr and Mrs C... And all of the commenters.
See you in 2013!!!
(well I'll see you before then but, you know what I mean :) )
Hit the wall on lap 1.
yup. i'm coding, christine is around though.
Ohh that might be why. I was just wondering!
The off season will be packed here on Sidepodcast. You have been warned.
There's Maldonardo's car.
That;s some expensive debri
Seems a fitting way to end ;)
appropriate :)
you have 111 days of my f1 withdrawal to fill.. ;)
oh, Bob Varsha is tearing up on SPEED. :(
Not even some NFL action for the Superbowl 5/2?
There;s one of the owen brothers
#dc
I choose to accept this mission.
if Kimi didn't leap sideways he wouldve taken out Vettel on lap 1
and this is why i love this place :)
Heheeheheh DC's just made reference to that :)
DC admitting his Eddie moment
I wish she would just shut up and let Mcnish talk. He doesn't need someone chipping in to keep him on the subject
Damn being behind on the internet - Lukeh is ahead for perpetuity.
I haven't missed 'her' or 'him' at all today. Ted and Crofty on the other hand :(
do we know which races BBC have for next year?
Montage of last 17 years.
Sky now looking at the flags...
Classy stuff from caterham
Caterham F1 Team @MyCaterhamF1
First we have to say huge respect to @Marussia_F1Team for such an amazing fight. Thank you for making this year so exciting.
People, been a good year once again, sorry I've not been around so much in the second half of the season, but appreciate all the hard work you all put in and its still been fun. Hopefully 2013 won't be too bad in comparison, looking forward to Hulk coming on in.
Sky Pad Flag Wag
Vettel going all conspiracy theory. Stay classy.
Sky spending a long time explaining their mistake?
if the commentators have said it was def an oil flag, why is this happening!?
I have no idea!
That's def not as yellow as the previous ones...
McNish thinks it was a yellow? O.o
just 2 points between BUT and HAM in the end
Nothing wrong with differing opinions. McNish has the best view of anyone who has commented so far. he can zoom in and make sure he is right
Hasn't Martin told them already??
Sky are really going into this yellow flag thing. They did point out a diff between oil and yellow earlier, but... why would yellows be up the main straight?
Phew, I fell 40 minutes behind on comments. Brilliant race. Glad Di Resta is ok. Happy to see Button win but a bit gutted for both Hamilton and Hulkenberg. Great season (some boring races but that's going to happen in a 20 race season).
Indeed, and the yellows they show flashing. The ones on the main straight blinkiung out as Vettel goes through doesn't help but they seem more stationary.
I like the "V3ttel" tshirts
Lee is trying to make Seb cry
sergio mendes groovy.
Now is a good time to recover all the blown minds
Senna made him cry on lap 1
something on bbc?
Seb making an epic response to Lee that went on for a good few minutes!
if Vettel passed under yellows would anyone flag it?
I'm sick of Queen already.
impossible!
They haven't flagged him WIPING OUT BOTH WILLIAMS CARS ON LAP 1 >:(
At least it's not Big Bad Wolf.
We Are the Champions isn't one of their best songs.
It would be an odd time to play seven seas of rhye
Am sure Ferrari checked that out.
It's also worth mentioning that Hulk had a seriously good chance at winning that one, will be interesting to see how he felt in interviews.
From Fake Charlie Whiting: Well kiss a peacock! Congrats @willbuxton! Thrilled you're going to be with the #F1 team at @NBCSN.
So not him at BBCF1, then. So who? Lee, surely?
F1 is over. Live commenting of sport is over for the year. Not really. You are not even getting a week off. Crashed Ice starts on Saturday. Sidepodcast never stops
Oh and there is NFL tonight
I'll be amazed if they don't choose Lee
Looking forward to Crashed ice so much!
I love that sport, can't wait to comment it as well.
did we know that jase is leaving 5 Live?
someone is happy - http://instagram.com/p/SdifwwIOSm/
(rubens alert!)
oh god, no. :(
awww, bless his socks.
I can't believe after the ridiculous season we've had that the result in the end is the same as before. Like 2003 really! Lots of race winners from diff drivers and teams, but a Schu/Ferrari champ
ohh gotta try get into crushed ice..
whatttt???
only realised earlier on, he was hinting it on twitter and james allen has just said how it's been a pleasure to have had him on the team
Cheesy alert!!
I don't care ultimately what the result is, it's the journey that matters. :)
I camembert it
The final awesome driver chart: sidepodcast.com/p…-driver-standings
It feels way too early for that. But then I realised - it is December next Saturday.
@GaryPaffett
@MBrundleF1 That clears things up a lot. I remember a discussion in 2012 that they are difficult to differentiate. Still the same.
what a recovery from Seb
Have you fixed Grosjean, or will he be forever broken?
He should have been fixed last week.
He is
Wasn't nesc just talking about the standings ;)
Hulk didn't say sorry to Lewis.
Hulk doesn't need to say sorry, racing incident
Petrov is smiley :)
surely it's manners to go and apologise for involving lewis anyways, even if it was an incident? It may have not have been Hulk's complete fault but you'd think he'd at least apologise out of courtesy.
or at least I would anyways if I was Hulk but maybe it's just me.
Racing incident but still his fault. He should apologise
Has Seb apologised to Bruno and Checo?
so nice to see.
It was entirely Hulk's fault
...and Pastor...
Rob Smedley phoning the wife.
oh, sad Heikki. :(
Kimi deserves something for his exploration of the circuit
Rob on nthe bbc!
ROB!
That'd involve admitting guilt for something. Never said sorry for hitting Button in Spa 2010.
Riad (is that the right spelling) very very happy 'we can't leave it that late again'
:)
Right spelling
rob rocking the flo-vis?
They need to review Heikki after today, 'in the whole perspective of the management team and situation'
possibile positive signs???!?!?!
Ewwww management speak!
makes a change for me :)
Heikki looked like he knew it was over. Boo....
Riad Asmat
@riadasmat
Riad was awesome, Heikki grumpy, bags packed?
Rob's too cool.
https://twitter.c…475621888/photo/1 - Massa looks so so sad.
To be fair, Heikki could have been out of a drive 3 years ago if that team hadnt appeared
Rob representing us in the North East very well :)
bless him :(
Massa on the beeb smiling
His voice is totally gone through, aww
Post-race ratings please: sidepodcast.com/p…il-2012-rate-race
ohhh Sky have a poem...
He was croaky pre-race too, but this is worse.
If that swingometer goes anywhere left I'll be amazed
Felipe is easily driver of the day
Indeed. Leading to a rap, I wonder?
hahaha this is a good poem. hope it ends up somewhere online so you can all see it. it's spc esque.
So how many times DID Grosjean crash in the end?
I forgot about the Williams fire
ohhh the rhyming...
Hehehe ferrari having fun :)
"So much more than just a race" So true.
it's fun watching things change on the rating post :)
That poem on sky was brilliant
Hehe, Alonso's still not sure how he managed to do so well in that car :)
Riat is now on the BBC and HE IS SO SMALL next to Jake!!
Web feed is still Nando
hang on, i thought it was spelt Riad? ..
Why say economics when everyone knows you mean $$$?
yep, you're right. I saw that and still managed to misspell it, fail
He's not allowed to say how much is he?
i got confused :D
turns out his name's actually Tim all along
Alonso hugging Newey and looking wistful as he walks away. I think if the Vettel to Ferrari rumours are true Alonso will snap up the Red Bull drive before anyone else can get in there
Why didn't Pic activate DRS?
I like the sounds of that.
EJ: Where is Tony Fernandes?
Dad on the slow mo of Jenson on Sky 'is that Sergio then?'
.....no...Dad...
Whitmarsh. I don't like listening to him talk.
2013 will be interesting ;)
awwww Martin saying he may pop down to Mercedes just to peer through Lewis' visor like he's been doing since his GP2 days cute!
Do you not think he's been quite open this year? I think he's been quite interesting over 2012 and better than most team principals
Bruno on the forum!
He was ahead of the others at the detection point
I am sure he was in England yesterday with his new football team manager after he got round to firing Mark Hughes. Not the Autosport Mark Hughes
Jenson wishes Lewis well for the future, and says it'll be interesting for him, but hopes to fight wheel to wheel with him again in the future :) aw!
Bruno: I saw Seb and I thought 'ooh... that's a bad one'
He doesn't seem to be doing as much corporate double speak, that's true. I just get a vibe about him that he's lying. There's something disingenuous about him. I wanted to like him more. :(
Lewis looking relaxed and calm
Oh dear... as Bruno was explaining his first lap...
http://t.co/7wFFRy3m
Lewis wearing rocket red for the last time.
He congratulates Jenson and Vettel. Wishes them the best for next year and the future. Mixed emotions 'the team have been fantastic, so supportive. Unfortunate i couldn't do it for them, but Jenson did.'
I love Whitmarsh. He did an interview yesterday and it was perfect, open, honest, batting away the stupid leading questions.
What's the Merc colour? Oh wait, he'll probably never need it!
Hadn't thought of that.
plus he has a bigger crush on Jenson than i do! what's not to love! :)
I like his self deprecating humour, it appeals to me :)
and it's not even for his win!
Plus he's less Ronner than Ron.
Should have been his win but that's racing
true, but it was Jensons so all is good :)
Heh, quite a poignant photo...
https://fbcdn-sph…_2140423246_n.jpg
If Hulk didn't lose it then it probably would have been his win
He's better than Dennis and actually better than he himself used to be when he took over.
Yes but he did make a mistake. I think Lewis was going to beat him anyway. Lewis did absolutely nothing wrong and got taken out due to someone else's mistake
I'll keep my mind open to him in the future, give him another chance. :)
I like Ron
EJ "has never seen so much activity in his life". HE RAN AN F1 TEAM.
Says a lot about Jordan F1 :D
TOONED
Definitely. Although when he started, he was plunged straight into Lewis-lying-gate which wasn't helpful!
Tooned again!
total chaos in the paddock!
He was in charge and owned it. Others did the running
That looks like a fun paddock to work in. I don't know what they are complaining about.
Tooned still awesome the second time round. :D
So when is crashed ice and is it on TV?
probably one of my favourites, so many little things thrown in there that were fantastic :)
Oh yes. Though the parrot was called Cosworth? O.o
Ah yeah that was stressful I'm sure
have changed to bbc.. just to say bye to jake
www.redbull.com/c…s-021243257737674
Red Bull web stream it. The quality of the stream is usually excellent
Brundle: Stewards CONFIRM red & yellow flags.
It's been a good show - lot's of little goodbyes to various people all the way through.
Brundle spoke to Gary Connelly who confirmed those were red and yellow digiflags
somone needs to tell McNish. That's embarrassing.
These things happen on live TV
Rocky
where's Mark on the podium?
Still surprised no one told Allan, considering Brundle tweeted about the yellow and red flags 5 minutes after the podium.
hahaha

Silly michael.
TED
yeah, they should've given him all the data. They shouldn't mess with McNish. That makes me mad.
Ted
Steve Nielsen caught smoking at Caterham. JEV hit Glock and cost Marussia all that money
Schumi says there was no point him getting involved re: Seb's overtake
Ted
We all think it is Adios HRT.
Ted
Horrible race for Williams. Bruno said Vettel cut straight across him. Pastor lost the rear and stuck it in the wall
TED
JEV had a wwet set up
Ted
Peter Sauber will semi-officially retire
awwwwwww Alonso :'(
heeeheheheheh red bull got jake!
Ted
Force India are not happy about Hulk's penalty
Hahah, RBR mechanics drenching Jake
Ted
Cynics would say that safety car and Hulk penalty were done to help Alonso
JB!
EJ chasing after JB, hehe
naughty Jenson
Ted
Lotus have all gone. No people around
Ted
Ferrari - The roles of Stefanano, Pat Fry and Nick Tombazis will be discussed now
EJ is properly sneaking in!
DON'T SACK STEFANANO!
Hell hath no fury like LDM scorned?
Ted
Rob jogging by and distracting Ted
Putting the kettle on. Anyone want a cuppa?
NO YOU CAN TAKE STEFANANO! :(
He is toast
It wasn't (spec) his fault that the car was awful to start with.
but... toast is so nice... but not in this context :(
Ted Hulk cost McLaren £10-15 million.
Would have been cheaper signing him
RBR preferring Lee to EJ
Of the three Stefanano is the most likely to get the chop.
Jenson: "probably the craziest race I've ever taken part in."
Uh, Canada last year?
:D
He is in charge of the team and has been for a few years. Failure is not tolerated at Ferrari. Unless Alonso is a big fan he is history
I don't know why they are chasing him, he spent ages talking to Lee.
sigur ros!!
I love this three world champions bit on the bbc :)
That is true - buck does stop with him, and he's not delivered a 'satisfactory' (winning) season.
Pat Fry is barely in the door so he has to be safe. Tombazis has been there before and it is not long since they signed him back from McLaren
Where?
YAY FOR JB!!!
on the forum
awww cuddles!
JB giving Jake a kiss
And Alonso brought Pat in.
so that's how i get a cuddle from JB..
Will JB be presenting for the Beeb next year (as well as driving)?!
Exactly
next time he's near; get the champers.
hahaha YES YOU DID HA?VE IT IN YOUR PREVIOUS TEAM! AHH IT'S LIKE HONDA BUT WITH A GOOD CAR!!!
or just host the BBC and then retire ;)
ahahahaha <3 JB he's so funny. i will miss him.. 111days to go!
Lots of fun on SKYF1, but I see I'm missing even more fun on BBCF1?
bit of banter between the presenters :)
am gonna catch sky in a sec on reply.
Hah love their banter.
JH 'You've got a bigger bank balance than me'
JB 'Not next year, I heard!'
jake becomes a daddy around the same time as australia? nice!
They look like they are queuing at the gate so they can be first out
:D
How many SkySportsF1 mic's are there!
Great reply, very quick :)
Can't wait for JB to be on the F1 presenting team. Not yet, though - Lou might kill me. :D
bye bye Jake
Music for the bbc - Always No.1 by Alistair Griffin.
Her caps lock button might break after one race when it happens ;)
Confirmed! Did they do a Vettel montage, BTW?
I think there was one near the start with M83...
not yet, he's got to wait till i get into the f1 paddock, then he can be part of a presenting team.. and i can see him even MORE! :D
Sky signing off.
Simon is going to poke out Damon's eye with that umbrella.
Not a season montage on SKY, surprisingly.
honestly there will be floods of tears when he retires. It's gonna be like someone died. Imagine how i was when Honda pulled out.. only 1000x worse. it'll be a dark day. but thankfully it's ages away!
Ooooh.
Wait till they put together a huge highlights package-show
yes, it's on now, no?
I just hope you get a chance to know it happening, trust me it'e even worse when you don't know what's happening either way with your favourite driver :(
They had the epic poem earlier
Just for Brazil. Saving it for the F1 Show, I guess.
That bernie thing is strange the second time as well
yeah, that is horrible. :( :(
BBC end.
Just like the HRT fans now. Does HRT have any fans?
...and they have an F1 Show on Fri that's at the Red Bull factory, plus stuff around christmas which I'd guess may include something like the good ol' Murray & Martin's F1 review? :)
they didn't have the money to buy any from wilkinsons.
...oh, race fans!
i remember the uncertainty of Honda, i remember that feeling very clearly.. but it will be sad and scary. but it's ages away thank goodness.
exactly, plenty of good days like today to enjoy :D
Next on my to-do list: F1Minute. How long can I procrastinate so I don't have to try and fit all that in 60 seconds?
Right rewinding the last 15mins of sky. cant.miss.anything.
They are all going to the Red Bull factory on Tuesday. Don't know when they are transmitting that show though
Lou, refresh the homepage.
"Introducing F1 Five Minutes..."
I love you Mrs Christine :)
Do a few as an end of season special? o:)
Apart from the non-racing commenting, remember the next racing is the Race of Champions in about 3 weeks.
The next real racing is probably Daytona 24 at the end of Jan. Only 2 months. F1 car launches likely around then too.
That was awesome, cheers guys!
I have been quiet this season, but its beacuse Im in the office 90% of the time trying to look like im working (thanks excel) or i am 5 mins behind in the buffer!
I think we need a sidepodcast christmas party again.
That is going to be difficult. I suggest the following script
So much happened today that I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. JB won the race , Vettel the title, lots of people cried/ That is all
That could work. Pondering the best way to get bullet points across in audio :)
Record 10 mins worth and play it at x10?
You are just saying that because Christine has ditched her chair for a ball and you want her to struggle on to a ball in a dress again
:D
It's an opportunity we'd be mad to miss! ;)
Anyway, 3:30 AM here! Must sleep. Good night!! Thank you, everyone!
Hulkenberg's drive through pen: 184.106.145.74/fi…mentNumber-38.pdf
I wore a dress??
Im in Australia this year so should be very merry before it starts :)
xmas party.
Yes. There was a piece at the start of you trying to find a way to get on a ball in a dress
Night!
Season!
I must have been drunk.
Good night
Night :)
night!
i've had moments like that :)
Night Journeyer.
I am sure there were pics if not video. I have a picture in my head of a green dress but I could be wrong
heheh Ted's prediction on Friday of 'i just have this feeling something crazy is going to happen in the race on Sunday' was totally true!!
I would post amend it to: EVERYTHING CRAZY
... and... Christine made a correct prediction for Champion! She didn't jinx Vettel... neither did she Jinx JB at the beginning of the season.. maybe the curse doesn't work on the first or last race?
cute comparison - www.facebook.com/…ype=1&theater
it lacked a Taki Inoue, but had pretty much everything else...
is it too soon for another group hug?
i love all you guys and girls. this season has been awesome and i've truly enjoyed spending it with y'all.
2012 was meant to be a rebuilding year, when everyone left us to get this ready for 2013, instead sidepodcast is bigger than ever and we can only thank each and every one of you for sticking out the period where we ditched stuff left, right and centre.
we absolutely promise to try and make 2013 the most exciting, vibrant and interactive season ever. hope you can join us.
Hah! That's very cool :)
we'll be right here enjoying every flippin' second :)
thank you for all the amazing things you've brought to us fans this year too!
It's always too soon ;)
group cuddles for everyone!!! you two are awesome!!
I wouldn't expect anything else from the king of uber-hugs ;)
Crofty is a bit croaky. lol
Hehe. End of season is v. difficult for my anti-emotion robotness to navigate!
mr c compensates!
just hide with wine and milkybars ;) let Mr C do the emotion for you ;)
FOUND IT
I can't get the video to run but I have proof of it in the comments
sidepodcast.com/p…ht#comment-632464
I like Christine's necklace.. and dress. :)
Nothing wrong with not being emotional. You are not alone. Plus you have to imagine what would happen if you were as emotional as Mr C. You would live in a permanent hug
just caught tooned. genius.
Hehehe!
so good!
Do it all in 3, then triple speed it :D
Seems I'm behind on that idea.
This is a rebuilding year and you're already doing more than I can keep up with. :)
Workaholics the pair of ya. Appreciated though.
the countdown on the homepage makes me happy. i can stare at JB while seeing how long it'll be till i see him win again :) perfect!
it takes 5 mins to buffer. massive length show.
That makes sense.
nope. :)
right, i must leave you all for a trip to farnham and uni. I love you all, and hopefully we'll all be reunited in the comments soon. You're all very special people and I'm honoured to share so many great moments with you.
Hopefully we wont all be strangers during this long cold winter :) much love! xx
have a safe and quick journey back to farnham!
Likewise, stay safe :)
oh, we'll be stranger than most, but we'll all be in touch. :)
Love to you, Lou. Safe journey.
Drive safely (and fast because it's more fun #confidential)
Have a good drive. If the latest batch of heavy rain/wind hasn't reached you yet be aware it is on the way, is with me now.
I'd better jump in the shower whilst the waters still warm, see you guys soon wherever it may be. Thanks for an awesome season :)
Petrov cuteness: "Great great day for us today !!! I'm so happy!!! I do not know what to say!!! Thank you for all you support !!!! Eeeeeeee :)))))))"
Ta ta for now, everyone. Thanks for adding so much to the fun! xx
The Hulk got there in the end: Nico Hulkenberg has just popped into McLaren to see @LewisHamilton and apologise for taking him out of his final race for the team. @ianparkesf1
Good for him. He seems like a classy person
Are you around for NFL later - Saints-49ers in an hour ish
Not sure whether to join for NFL or not... my team played on Thurs.
Ciao Lukeh and Kai :)
Kind of don't want to leave the thread, but I've just remembered I've forgotten to have any dinner. Cheers for sharing in a great season. See ya next week perhaps.
oh, possibly. I'll see what I have to get done today. I'll stop in for a bit at least. Thanks. :)
That promises to be a great game - questionable Saints' D... etc :)
I have been sitting thinking about getting food and what I have
OK. See you there. By everyone else who left / is leaving
Right, I've some phone calls to make and stuff so catch y'all laters. Might drop in for NFL, we'll see. :)
FYI; Nico did go to apologise to Lewis after
http://t.co/DmkH1NjX
oops I see christine has already beat me to it, points to mrs c :)
This is the best I could do: www.f1minute.com/…ures-title-brazil
:)
Damn fine attempt. I don't see how it could have been much better in 60 seconds
BTW I missed it in amongst everything that was going on but who was announced as Jake's replacement?
They didn't announce it, it was a "joke" where they revealed Bernie as the replacement.
As ever Bernie is a disappointment
