    Congratulations Seb...finally you did it. You have carved your name on the racing Books. Now you'll be freed from the name calling such as "Crash kid "and the "Baby Schumi". Sebastian Vettel a truly worthy Champion..

    2 Germans, and mostly are Europeans and Brazilians....kelan kaya magkakaron ng F1 World drivers champion na pinoy?....Kung nakaya ni Pacman maging all time great boxing champion...sana sa F1 meron din. or to be prudent magkaron man lang ng F1 driver na pinoy...

    Ferrari was baited into pitting early when Webber lap times went up after pitting. Unfortunately, Ferrari didn't forsee those two drivers who also who pitted earlier...

    Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal:

    ‘There is a great sadness at this moment because to come so close to our goal and to see it slip away for just a few points really hurts.

    We made a wrong decision in terms of strategy for three reasons: we marked a rival with two cars, we were unduly concerned about the wear rate of the soft (Super Soft compound) tyres and we did not take into consideration the difficulty of getting past other cars on the track.

    Chris Dyer, Chief Track Engineer

    'We are all very down at the moment. We had the car, the team and the driver with which to win the title but we did not manage it because we made the wrong decision in terms of strategy and there is no point in making excuses.

    We concentrated too much on what Mark was doing and we then were left bottled up in traffic and that cost us the title.

    You could say we looked too closely at what was going on behind us without seeing what was in front of our nose. It’s a shame because losing like this hurts, it hurts a lot.'

    Yup, looking back, MW has to be 2 places ahead, for 1-2-3. Or more if in lower rankings vs. FA for the championship...

    Ferrari surely was looking in the other direction.... And FA was visibly pissed....

    Just goes to show that Renault, going into the last stage(s) of the season, has the best F-Duct solution in the field. During the race, VP was showing better straight line speed than FA.....

    FA(Ferrari),- not able to pass VP(Renault)
    LH(McLaren) - not able to pass RK(Renault)

    FA getting a dose of the Renault medicine... :hysterical:

    Mile-high crossdressing for Richard Branson after losing F1 wager
    The British billionaire is measuring up for his stint as an AirAsia 'trolley dolly'


    AirAsia flight after losing a bet to AirAsia owner Tony Fernandes over whose Formula 1 team performed better this season.

    Branson backs Virgin Racing, while Fernandes is the team principle of Lotus Racing (of which CNN is a sponsor). Both teams are 2010 F1 Championship neophytes.

    At the start of the season, Branson and Fernandes wagered that the loser of the bet would have to dress and serve as a flight attendant on the winner’s airline.

    "He has an airline, we have an airline, and if we beat him he can come and work on one of our airlines as a Virgin stewardess," Branson said confidently in December last year.

    "I suspect if he beats us he might ask me to reciprocate. Maybe I'll have to check out how fetching his stewardess outfits are!"

    Both team ended the season with zero points, but Lotus had better finishing positions overall and placed ahead of Virgin Racing in rankings.

    “We have had this great bet running all season and now it’s time for Richard to start preparing himself for some hard work and the likely pain of a pair of high heels!” said Fernandes.

    During celebrations on track on Sunday night at the conclusion of final F1 race, held in Abu Dhabi, Fernandes gave Branson an AirAsia uniform and pinned a stewardess’ badge on the Virgin Racing boss.

    ”One of the first people to come and congratulate us on the pitwall was Richard,” said Fernandes.

    Judging from Branson’s ecstatic expression, you’d think he was actually excited to have an excuse to don a female uniform.

    We think it would be delightful if Branson did a safety demonstration dance routine while he’s at it.

    Branson will serve on a Kuala Lumpur-London AirAsia X flight.

    The tickets will be sold on in an online charity auction.

    Details on the date of the flight and how to enter the charity bid will be released soon.
