Great drive from Vettel, he made it look so easy. Good drives too from JB and Webber. Great end to the season. Roll on 2010.

Brilliant drive from Vettel........ This kid is going to be a world champ one day  Good fight at the end also between Buttonand Webber.....did you catch the colourful language in the room just before they went on the podium??? Ooooooooooooooo And why is the German flag always displayed on the podium (above Vettels head) upside down?   fizzy |

Could not hear the language just before the podium...announcers were talking over it.
I didn't know a flag with three stripes could be upside down since they are hanging at 90 degrees??? If it was a flag with an emblem in the corner I could understand.

OK...the flag with the clear emblem in the corner was the Aussie flag...looking at the tv screen the Union Jack was top right and the stars underneath..........(correct) the German flag had the black stripe at the very left. The black stripe should have been at the right.......hence why it was upside down....... See? It's not the first time this has happened...... fizzy |

OK, I get it fiz.
The top of the flag should be on the right when hanging down...makes sense. You are the observant one, I didn't notice.
Usually I fast forward through this ceremony, because I'm running out the door to church on Sunday morning.
Was anyone on chat today? We just changed daylight savings time early Sunday, I checked in and nobody was home. Could have been the wrong time because we turn our clocks back on a different date than everyone else.

Re colourful language..... He didn't only say the F-word but said to Webber "I was trying to catch you, you Bustard" Potty mouth  !!!!!!!! Wash it out with soap Button!!!!!!!!!!!! from autotrader.com BBC apologise for sweary ButtonBBC bosses were last night forced to apologise after Jenson Button swore live on air during their F1 broadcast of the Abu Dhabi GP. Following his podium finish at the Yas Marina circuit, Button was having a casual chat with fellow podium finisher Mark Webber when the BBC's cameras cut to them. And, unfortunately, that was the moment when Button said the f-word. "It was a live broadcast which showed a conversation between two individuals and in the heat of the moment Jenson Button swore, and it was unfortunately picked up on air," a BBC spokesman said. "We apologise for any offence caused and we apologised immediately on air after it happened. It is part and parcel of live broadcasts." |

I do feel for the drivers when they are caught out like that. The conversation was overheard, they weren't being interviewed. However, they know that the cameras are there so they do need to be aware of it, even if they have just driven their pants off!
A great drive from the 3 of them and a great end to the season.
