2010 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

[Bram Turismo]

"Liuzzi going around Adrian Sutil for 9th."

Get it together, SPEED Channel!!

I'm watching the Star Sports channel. In my opinion much better than both BBC and SPEED.

My ideal result:

Hamilton 1st - 247 points
Alonso 11th or below - 246 points
Vettel 3rd - 246 points
Webber 6th - 246 points

It's hard to be an optimist, and a Hamilton fan.

 

[Anes]

Well it doesn't take much to bend a rim. He hit the rear fairly hard.

 

[Akmuq]

I just realised there is a driver tracker on the bbc red button.

Webber pits and comes out behnid Algeursauri. Vettel losing time.

Ferrari mechanics are out.

 

[Touring Mars]

It's hard to be an optimist, and a Hamilton fan.

Kudos for keeping the faith, though...

Red Bull are possibly in trouble if Vettel's tyres go off as fast as Webber's... if Alonso has a crisis, Hamilton may be in with a chance.

Come on Lewis!

Mark webber drifting that pit lane tunnel!

 

[ExigeEvan]

Don't fancy getting a crashed car out of that tunnel!

Looks like Webber's race is going sour

 

[Akmuq]

Will the Toro Rosso get out of Webber's way.
Massa in. Comes out behind Webber.

Alguersauri lets Webber through. Now Webber has to step on it.

 

[astrosdude91]

Yeah Jaime, remember who pays your checks.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Webber receives a little present from the Toro Rosso team.

 

[Robin]

I think Webbers got no chance now, unless there are many accidents at the top.

I've noticed they don't have the camera shot of in the pit tunnel anymore, it was funny last year to see those 2 marshals who clearly have the short straws!

Robin.

 

[Akmuq]

Yeah Jaime, remember who pays your checks.

Poor Toro Rosso.
Everyone should pit now.
Alonso in and stays in front.
Vettel and Hamilton are under pressure but they have a couple of laps.

 

[Dan360]

Wow... Hamilton is a second behind Vettel.

Alonso is in. Another 'fishtail' in the tunnel, please. Which he has done. 👍

 

[Akmuq]

Another safety car now would be nice. Rosberg would win it.

 

[astrosdude91]

Alguesuari doing his best for that Red Bull seat in the next few years.

 

[niky]

Vettel already had a little pressure issue behind the safety car. It's possible Hamilton might get by, but I'm not holding my breath.

Aw... who am I kidding... I'm on the edge of my seat.

 

[Touring Mars]

Things are starting to look good for Seb - if Seb gets 1st, and Lewis 2nd, and enough people slot in between them and Alonso e.g. Rosberg and possibly even Button too, then Seb will have it in the bag. If Webber can also keep the pressure on Alonso, he could also still play a very big role in handing Vettel the WDC... it may come down to Rosberg, Button, and even Petrov...

Unfortunately for Seb, Alonso still has his own fate in his own hands, whereas Seb needs alot of help from other people to prevail.

 

[Akmuq]

Hamiton in. Behind Kubica.

 

[Bram Turismo]

I think all the people that pitted on lap 1 have spoiled Alonso's day...

 

[Dan360]

Hamilton is still in front of Webber and Alonso, after he pits. 👍

 

[Akmuq]

Vettel pits. Ahead of Hamilton and Kubica. Here comes Kobayashi!!!!!

What an overtake from Kubica. Hamilton has to take him now.

 

[Robin]

Gosh I bet Kobayashi scared the hell out of Vettel when he came out of the pits!

 

[astrosdude91]

C'mon Vettel, C'mon!!

 

[Camillo]

Go Seb !

 

[niky]

Is it just me, or is all the drama in this race happening on the stats calculators?

Great work from Vettel!!!

The traffic between pit stops is going to make this championship... Vettel could yet be champion!

 

[Akmuq]

Hamilton take Kobayashi.

 

[Touring Mars]

Hats off to Vettel - he's putting in a storming drive when he needs it the most.

Button could be crucial here...

 

[Akmuq]

It looks like Vettel will have the championship now.

 

[niky]

Alonso's blood pressure through the roof... yet again. He is going to be livid at being stuck behind Petrov for so long... Unless Hamilton can get up on Vettel's tail from behind Kubica and challenge for the lead (maybe Button can back Vettel up before he pits), Alonso's championship seems to be up in smoke.

Sebastian Vettel... World Champion... seems fitting... fastest man in the fastest car.

 

[Touring Mars]

Someone tell Lewis that if he bins it, he may help hand Alonso the title...
