PAVAN KADAM · 25th November 2012, 22:15

What a race.

Amazing, blockbuster of a Finale.

Is anybody observing the "struggle" between the (Star Sports) commentators and the video feed team?
- Video team doesn't cover Mclaren & Force India pitstops when the safety car comes out; commentators voice out their dis-satisfaction
- Video team display a translated version of Ferrari team conversation (Italian - english); commentators crack jokes about it
- Commentators talk about taking a short break; video feed continues on!

To top it off we have Steve Slater.

Alonso radios to the pits, that there's debris on the track. Slater hears it as not getting heat in the rear tyres. lol. Thank god Karun is there.

Thats a sad way for Lewis to end his stint at McLaren. And with that collision Hulkenberg literally ruined his chance for the podium finish.

speedmiester · 25th November 2012, 23:17

Brazil has lived up to it's reputation.
A great race and lot of action on the track. Sad that Alonso lost out of it, but still a great season for him.

Absolutely loved the finale for what is probably one of the greatest season in F1 history.

Vettel held it together for a worthy third consecutive driver's championship.
Touch luck Alonso, there is always another year.

D33-PAC · 25th November 2012, 23:18

Oh well, I guess there's always a next year for Alonso.

Great race, only wish Button would have spun out.

By the way, Vettel overtook someone on a yellow, but the stewards didn't notice that?

punto_ · 25th November 2012, 23:20

Well, it's over. Vettlel wins the championship. Well done. Tough luck Alonso.

Wonderful race, super finale.

deetjohn · 25th November 2012, 23:29

Congrats Vettel!

And very well done Alonso. I just hope Ferrari is able to deliver a car worthy of you next year.

And Thank You Schumi for all those years.

PAVAN KADAM · 25th November 2012, 23:31

Amazing, Amazing, Triple world Champion SEBASTIAN VETTEL

Button uniquely winning the First and the Last race of the season, and happy for Schumi for his fantastic race and winning it in his favourite slot No. 7

Good bye MICHEAL SCHUMACHER, We shared your passion, thank you for igniting it. You will be missed.

Alonso, tough luck, Sad for Hamilton and Hulkenberg, lost it unnecessarily.

So, this brings the Best Finale to the Silly season.

sa_kiran · 25th November 2012, 23:32

If there is a viewers' WDC, it goes to Alonso. I've to wake up at 3:45 tomorrow morning and don't mind staying awake to watch this race :-)

StarrySky · 25th November 2012, 23:34

Many congrats to Vettel. Very good drive after falling to last on the first lap.

Well done Alonso. Did his best but just lost out.

I think Vettel is now the youngest 3xWDC.

Great comeback season for Kimi - 3rd in WDC. I guess he has also set a record by completing all laps of 2012 season.

SilentEngine · 25th November 2012, 23:42

Just couldn't understand how Vettel managed to survive that first lap!

Well done both Seb and Fernando. In the end, it's the 13 point cushion which saved Vettel.

Video feed is common for all broadcasters, star sports doesn't control it. But anyway Slater was clueless throughout.

Congratulations to Vettel!

Good Luck to Alonso & Ferrari. You were the real heroes of 2012, what a brilliant fight this year.

I am reading tweets about Vettel passing Kobayashi under yellow flags in Lap 36. I dont know if there is an investigation going on by the stewards on this. I dont know, but it may not be over yet!

He is guilty for sure, the flag clearly appeared yellow from his helmet cam, and Kobayashi wasn't even hindering his view.

What is the price he has to pay ? I don't know how this could have slipped the stewards

Two incident went nu-noticied.

1. Vettal passing Kobayashi under yellow flags in lap 36.
2. Forcing Kobayashi out of the racing line(dont remember the lap).

It would have been great if Hulk won the race. I have already put my money on Hulk for 2014 World Champion.
