Seb V calls his car Kate's Dirty Sister. Pretty awesome IMO.

---

more importantly, who is Kate? Is she as dirty?

Kate was the name of the original chassis, which was destroyed in a crash. The replacement chassis was better, so was named Kates Dirty Sister.

Poor Lewis and i though he was the weekend guy...

Kates Dirty Sister was awesome, driving to the limit.

Kobayashi he has proven to be a fantastic rookie, i certainly
hope he gets a driving spot at toyota or other team atleast to
my point of view he certainly deserves it.

Ugly race for Ferrari especially when they put the softer tyre
the car pace was terrible.

Mclaren got the 3rd position in the constructors Standings
Vettel got the 2nd place in drivers standings

Its been an interesting season with ups and downs from teams
something way different than what we were used to always a mclaren
and ferrari fighting for the win. It was nice.

Lewis's retirement ruined an awesome race... Brilliant end though!! Good to see both guys racing hard and fair! Brilliant stuff!

Kobayashi is awesome!! He's making Grosjean/Beumi and Jamie look pretty awful!!!

---

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

JAIME!

Grosjean looked totally out of his depth. Terrible all weekend.

---

great end to the season, i agree Kob is impresseive for a rookie! Hope he keeps that seat!

I was really impressed with Kobayashi, and it was nice to see Buemi pick up a point.

I laughed at Alguersuari pitting in the wrong box, but I guess it's an easy mistake when the overalls look similar.

These three have futures in F1, but Grosjean isn't doing himself any favours.

Yeah, the commentators made some very good points about Kobayashi, and it does look like he really seems to "gel" well in F1.

Lol at Button just before they went on to the podium, although it's suitability is questionable, (F1 is a family show afterall) it's actually quite interesting hearing the driver's open and honest thoughts on things.

I thank the BBC for keeping the Audio options still available so I can shut the comms off and then hear what those guys were saying. Jenson does seem to swear alot

What did he say? We had talk over that, so couldn´t hear what was going on.

Also, the 3d render thing they had at the start was good. It showed everyone's position going in to the first turn. Was that just us or did everyone have that?

all of us did

We all had it! But it looked like a shitty PSONE game.

Or is that the Wii version?

Button was telling Webber and Vettel how he was trying to overtake Webber, and he said he thought to himself "F... I should have gone that way"

oh right, cheers

He also called a webber a b*stard at the start of the exchange( but in a jokey way )




LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Martin Brundle again jinxing the driver he talks to (hamilton yesterday)

No wonder he didnt want to speak to brundle as he tried to walk away, this was also identified on topgear when he was on it!

Yeah, that exchange was great.
I hope they keep showing the banter between the drivers before they go out onto the podium, it makes good viewing and it's given me a few LOLs this year.

I like it too, it's better than just hearing the same old PR approved stuff race after race.
