Just reading through the post-race press conference, and some great banter going on between Seb, Mark and Jenson.

Have a look I know it's long but there is some good bits.

Makes those corners a little bit more difficult

Danke. I didn't even think that corners had any camber Don't ask

JB: That's the one, thank you. I'm not getting married this year.

SV: Why not? You don't love her?

Just read it, those guys are hilarious! I think that's what makes them more likeable...they're so chilled and laid back, unlike most of the others who just seem so robotic...especially Lewis who uses the same damn speech every time! "a big thank you to the team, they've done great work all weekend and from the factory - keep working hard and bring some more upgrades"

It is one of the reasons why Sebastian Vettel is my favourite driver. He has such a good personality, and is always smiling/joking.

By the way, liking the sig

Yeah Sebastian Vettel is a really cool character, apparently whilst he's in the car he does dialogues from Little Britain through the radio to the team and Horner said he can do a really good Kimi impersonation!! I want to see!

Okay so I had a brilliant weekend. Even Lewis bombing didn't wreck it as we still got third, wheeee! Also glad Merc have confirmed their F1 commitment with McLaren, thank frick for that.

Boring race, bought alive in the last few laps by Jense. Yet another bit of weight to add to his credibility as a WDC imo.

Kobayashi impressed me to HELL. Walking all over the newly crowned WDC? Loved it!

Loved the look of the track, when that hotel went rainbow coloured I was in . Unfortunately the racing was mostly dull.

Let the final contract confirmations begin

Driver of the day, Webber, he was putting in some IMMENSE laps and all for nowt. Or Kobayashi, just for the move on Jenson alone.

Jenson really needs to be more aware of when the cameras are rolling! He'll get in to trouble with his swearing one day!

Can't wait for next season now!

Webber sweared on TV before, at one of the other races and Jenson and Rubens said it was because he was an Aussie, so Jenson has no excuse

Looking forward to next season too. C'mon Vettel

People should stop being so bothered by swearing on TV. It happens all the time in real life.

I went out and bought the PS3 F1 game today goodbye degree EDIT: Went for a quick race, first words of commentary were 'Turn up the volume and enjoy'... I nearly threw the console out the window. I thought I had got rid of him when the BBC took over ITV.

Just read a great story about Sauber giving Heidfeld a formula 1 car as a gift...apparently he was emotional during the last laps of the race!
I hate to see BMW go! they're such a good team

Lewis is quite funny (probably unintentionally) whenever he says someone or the team or everyone "deserves a pat on the back" for something always makes me grin.

I'm not a Vettel fan, but he does a good Webber impression too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpQJ34dpYK4
