Abu Dhabi GP Race Day

[icegirljenni]

LOL completely mess up with the race time, came here an hour and half early thinking race is going to start in 20mins

[alonso 4ever]

hahaha..

i won't blame u jenni!!

little strange timing

the race is very boring so far.. 35 laps to go

alonso is in p16.. no chance at all

vettel had a very good start and he's trying hard

amazing, hamilton out, wow :)

now it became interesting... lol

---

jaime was so funny.. going to the rudbull pit

thank god they knew and just let him go..vettel was directly behind him!!

Kobayashi the future race winner and Japan's true ticket to world titles. That boy is dynamite, best thing that happened to F1 this season. Best rookie since the last 6-7 years.

We need racers, Button will be miffed that move was too good that button looked like an idiot.

[icegirljenni]

Kamui the only man done overtaking today. :001_huh:

[alonso 4ever]

yes, yes..

go kobayashi :)

he's fantastic

hope he'll be on the poduim today

The last lap fight , between Webber and Button, is the most exciting part in the entire race.... deadly boring race.... Well done Vettel!

[Tension_36th]

The ending of the race was a cliff hanger it really kept us on the edges of our seats, superb stuff by webber, button needed to be shown his place a bit arrogant and cocky because he won the title. Webber is a master of on track tactics, you try it nice he will play it nice, you act dirty he will give you more of the same. Good racing.

Vettel is dier Regan-master, great drive today just awesome.

Kobayashi star of the race, super overtakes. Also showed very good race awareness when he let Alonso through since Alonso was about to pit and was lighter than the heavily fueled Toyota. Not to mention beating rated Trulli for points, first points finish as well. This lad has a bright future, such stand out performances in two races are clear signs of whats to come.

Tough luck for Alonso but that all the Renault has in it. Even the Ferrari's were no good, its the price they pay stopping development so early. We will see if any of these drastic moves pays off net year, if it doesn't Ferrari and Renault will be morons.

Well done to Vettel.

Webber showed button how to keep people behind them even in a slightly slower car

Kobayashi is going to be a great driver if he carries on driving the way he does 2nd race out and points aswell and showed a lot of maturity on the track today

[Spyro]

Well done to Vettel

No, our guy overtook aswell - Kobayashi, if I'm not mistaken...

..just it was a bit pointless coz he pit a few moments later

And, roflmao at Jaime going to the wrong garage - though can't say I blame him entirely - the Red Bulls and Toro Rossos look too similar. I hope they go with different liveries next year, it can get quite confusing sometimes.

But definitely driver of the day has to be a toss up between Vettel and Kobayashi - both did an excellent job, especially Kobayashi, in only his second race coming sixth in a shite Toyota and ahead of his far more experienced team-mate who started in front of him on the grid - a star of the future, for sure, I hope he gets a drive for next year.

Anyways, that's 2009 done now, can't say I'll miss it that much...

But what am I gunna do now for the next 133 days???

[Tension_36th]

Yes Alonso overtook kamui but it was clear Kamui didnt want to try and make it hard as he knew he has the pit advantage having already pitted. Probably already informed by the team through the encrypted radio channel.

There is plenty to talk about chrissie, there is a scandal in the waits for the technical side for 2010 (something like the double diffuser). Plus we will get lots of details on the development side prior to winter testing. Its what were good at always,

There is a lot more to talk about really this place will be very active than other places which will be dead in the gap.

Quote:Q. Jenson, no win to round off the season but obviously an upbeat ending for you.

JB: For sure. It is always nice to end on a high but it is the same for everyone out there.... Now I am going to enjoy myself and celebrate what I have achieved this season.

SV: I hear you are getting married.

JB: Are you proposing?

SV: I heard you will get married.

JB: You know, they write great things in the press. Thank you for that one Seb, but I am going to enjoy this as we often look too far into the future and I want to just enjoy this moment and then I will look to the future after that.

Quote:Q. (Anne Giuntini – L'Equipe) To all three of you: considering there is a long break before February, I suppose you won't be on holiday all the time. What is your working programme?

SV: Jenson's getting married, we heard. So he's busy.

MW: And we're all invited as well.

SV: Yeah, everyone.

JB: Next question.

MW: But Japan's a long way.

Quote:Q. (Chris Lines – Associated Press) Guys, you sit up there as two representatives of the two most dominant teams this season. If we go back a year ago, it was Ferrari and McLaren and they were nowhere in the early part of this year. How confident are you guys that you will be able to carry this form into next season and not pay a price for going all the way through developing the car?

....

JB: Ferrari and McLaren are going to be competitive next season. They have the resources, they have the expertise, they have competitive drivers. For sure they are going to be quick. They've had a different approach over the last few races...I think there's going to be a big battle at the front which is going to be a new thing for all of us, because having four teams fighting it out at the front, that hasn't happened – could you just keep… ‘scuse me, I'm just trying to talk – you might want to listen to this.

MW: We're just talking about your wedding day, mate. We're just trying to clear our schedules.

Quote:Q. (Bob McKenzie – The Daily Express) What's the date for the wedding, Jenson?

JB: It's my birthday, did you say? By the way, I'm looking forward to my present, thank you very much, Bob. What did you call me before? BMcK: The World Champion?

JB: That's the one, thank you. I'm not getting married this year.

SV: Why not? You don't love her?

MW: Clear up January, clear it up.

JB: I think some things need to be kept private in your life and that's one of them. Thank you very much.

Another classic press conference no-one's got the video of

[Tension_36th]

That was dynamite, but i sense vettel and Mark were rubbing Button up to tell him 'enjoy it while it lasts, next year you will have only your girlfriend to be happy about'

Such a pity we dont have the video but I know where to find it, I will upload soonish.

[icegirljenni]

As a thank you for Nick Heidfeld's seven years of great commitment to the team in Hinwil, Peter Sauber is giving him a formula one car from this era," the team said.

Race was pretty boring for me. The best parts was Jaime mistake, Hamilton's broken down brakes and fight between Jenson&Mark (happy that Mark won). I'll not anything about Fernando and Robert ()
