Vettel will beat Raikkonen tomorrow.

Most weekends I'd agree with you but there's no alcohol in Abu Dhabi and Kimi without a hangover goes pretty well at this circuit.

Alcohol is available in AD or my mate who's out there has gone teetotal which I find very hard to believe.

After conceding the title so early I thought Rosberg would've been finished for good, yet curiously he's built a lot of momentum in the irrelevant races since. Ironically, I think he'll be much more formidable next year thanks to such a lacklustre season this year.

Why do people post nonsense? They don't spray champagne on the podium though - sparkling rose water instead at Abu Dhabi / Bahrain IIRC.

And at Indy 500 they use milk - doesn't spray very well.

People are wrong sometimes, no need to be a dick about it.

It's very available (legally) and I have been very pissed quite a few times in AD

You should spend a Friday lunchtime at the Jumeirah at Etihad Towers (great hotel BTW I can highly recommend it ) and see how you feel Saturday morning

Indeed, I suppose it is no surprise though, I have been watching F since 1977, and have been to 37 F1 races. It has never been as dull as now, and live, current F1 cars are pathetic, and I will bot be spending the £500 minimum that it costs to do a GP weekend until there are impressive F1 cars again..........

Interesting interview with Ron Dennis on Sky. He confirmed that at a recent F1 Commission meeting he did indeed tell Horner to 'suck it up' when he started complaining about engines again!

He also clarified the recent comments about Alonso having a sabbatical - he did say that it was possilt but that next years drivers were the same as this.

[FourWheelDrift]

I think Ron was just trying to say in his way that he wouldn't hold it against Alonso if the pre-season testing with the new Honda engine is no better than this year's engine and he decides to sit it out. As it would also solve the Vandoorne problem.

impressive flyby...

[Hi]

Why is it that in the onboard quali side by side comparison they have just shown, lewis is in a car with a 6 on the front? I thought his car had the number 44 on it?

She was looking very yummy on the BBC 'Pointless' F1 special last night.
