Vettel on pole again although i think by chance more than anything else with Hamilton dropping out.

It looks like it could be a competitive race and with the track might have a few surprises!

Was gutted for LH, I reckon he could of done, he was getting faster and faster. I reckon it will be real close, would love to see vettel under some pressure from the off tomorrow, see how he copes with 2 Mclarens all over him!

Great race by Button. He's really comming into his own at Mclaren. His a much better driver tbo than I've given him credit for.

You have to hand to to Vettel. His been in a class of his own in that car. His driven brilliantly and so consistant.

As a Hamilton fan I'm a bit guttted tbo. Race after race has been a real disapointment. Not sure what's going on with him. Not sure he can manage the tyres this year which Button seems able to.  This race O.k he had a bit of a problem in the first stint with a slow puncture but he never seemed to recover and show any real pace after that.

I feel lewis has just had an unlucky season. Not much has gone well for him. The puncture today compounded what has already been a poor season for him, with some thing happening in each race which has screwed him up!

Button has been growing on me a lot lately. He's matures so much since 2009 and not only is he a gentleman on the track but he's got a great personality for the media too. So much Alonso cry talk but a lot of people are somehow missing Hamilton's crying. Every time he is interviewed he sounds like he's about to cry, literally. He's always blaming something else other than him, today's excuse was that he can't see out of his mirrors, surely he would have noticed when doing testing before the season started that the mirrors were rubbish? At least he keeps me on the edge of my seat because almost every pass he does ends up in contact of one way or another. Even the commentating team which used to praise Hamilton is getting a bit tired of his excuses, lately Brundle has started saying in other words that it's entirely Hamilton's fault.

Vettel deserved this title in my eyes. Yes he had the best car out there for the majority of the season, and even now it's still the best car, however it's no good having the tools but not the knowledge. He recognized he had the best car and he pushed on, using it's strengths and avoiding the weaknesses. Even though I hate the finger thing and his dominance I think Vettel is a great guy, he's funny, honest, open and knows how to lead a team. Dare I say it I think this is the second title of many many more to come from him, and dare I say it again....I think he's right up there with Senna, Prost, Schumacher (in his prime) and Fangio.

Hats of again to Seb, its all well and good saying its the best car but Webber has the same car and look what has (or hasn't) done with it.

Are we seeing the start of something special in the form of Sebastian Vettle  . . . ?
