    some serious questions need to be asked , how can they just start this event in 2010 and just pulverize the opposition?

    Seriously, STFU or GTFO.

    Great moment. After watching their semi-finals yesterday I was forcing myself not to get too confident and succumb to the media hype, but after watching that I wondered how it was possible to doubt. :rolleyes: :lol:

    They've been undefeated in there last 20 races or so, they've hardly come out from nowhere, they were expected to win.
