Who won? I fell asleep, was expecting an exciting race but once again the lack of overtaking turned what should have been a showdown between 4 contenders into a yawn fest

Vettel along with the WDC.

Oh the look on Hamilton's face when on the podium

What look was that? He looked happy as far as I could tell.
You have some sort of hate issue with the guy it seems.

Oh i'm sorry but did you miss when they made it the podium how unhappy Hamilton looked

And if you read my posts you should know by now that I don't like LH.

If it's a crime than arrest me for it

Must have missed that bit but he was laughing and joking with Vettel and Button in the room behind the podium, and then again on the podium itself.
And no, cant say I have followed your posts, but then if you are a Hamilton hater I have probably ignored them in the past.
No crime, you are entitled to your opinion of course

Oh, by all means I hate no one. I just dislike him and never wished him any bad luck unlike Alonso haters who find every and any way to bash him and criticize him

Its tit for tat on this forum between the Hamilton or Alonso haters. In fact most of the front runner drivers have their haters who will always find something to criticize them for. Some will have more good reason than others of course.

in this sole instance you should take it on the chin like men as shown by jenson and lewis who immediately congratulated vettel and were visibly genuinely happy for him.

Hamilton had a very slim chance of winning and Button was out of it. So their reactions might have been different from being 1st or 2nd with a very serious shot at the WDC.
Alonso's hand gesture was unprofessional (no one is denying that) but others have been there ever since F1 started.
But to use this incident to keep bashing Alonso, is what makes it annoying.
I mean there is nothing that Alonso can do that won't upset some people and when it comes to their driver they have a different set of rules.

AND HERE IS WHY I GET SO BLOODY ANNOYED AT YOU ALL SOMETIMES, its exactly, EXACTLY, E.X.A.C.T.L.Y the same for hamilton, all fans think they are so hard done by. but its only when your a fan of a no particular driver that you notice how they all receive it in equal amounts, Hamilton gets bashed as much as Alonso does if not then more. Ive seen people call Hamilton an arse kiss for saying alonso could be a great, cause they thought he was trying to get a ferrari drive, what a pathetic excuse for f1 fans. All the top drivers in f1 get slated, and whats more hamilton still had a chance, and he congratulated vettel first, then joked around in the pre-podium room for ages, Alonso waved fists at a driver doing his job and walked straight past him in parc ferme. when your driver is in the wrong learn to take it on the bloody chin instead of passing it off onto hamilton or vice versa. Alonso was a bit of a bad sport today.

I'll say it again: Alonso's hand gesture was unprofessional, no one is denying that.
But I admit it when my guy does something bad. Is it the same for everyone else? I don't think so.
Go back to the section of this thread (post-race part) and see how people where bashing Alonso.
But to call a driver names or wish him bad luck is not my thing.

Well thats too bad, cause i KNOW that others have it just as bad, just as a pretty lame but nonetheless vaild example, hamilton is british, hated by spanish italian and brazilian fans generally, black, a mclaren driver, and a good driver. To tell me that Hamilton might not get bashed as much as Alonso makes me gag a little bit. You need to enter the real world if you think otherwise, its pretty tough being a Hamilton fan on a forum cause your spending half your time sifting through worthless hateful crap to find some real comments. Stop playing the hard done by with Alonso, he has been on the gaining end of team orders and the petrov hand wave thing and didnt win th title, a little dissapointment in alonso right now is more then justified.

Dude take a chill pill.
I was talking in terms of forum members and not # of times a driver gets bashed!
How many times did Alonso get mocked for his uni-brow. I mean what does your physical appearance or your skin color have to do with F1?
I've been watching F1 since 1982, that's right and all the years never wished bad luck on anyone.
What I'm trying to say is give me a break. I am NOT everyone else nor do I represent the "Alonso Fan Community."
I speak for myself and only myself.

You may have gathered from my earlier post I am a bit of a Hamilton fan, buts that not to say I will defend him no matter what he does, as he has made a few mistakes this year, most notably in Monza. And recently his rants over his in car radio have annoyed me a bit. Today for instance when he was complaining about his front left tyre after flat spotting it, saying he should come in, instead of just staying out and getting on with it like he ended up doing anyway.
I used to like Alonso but that changed after the McLaren year he had with Hamilton, so I like to think I have a mostly unbiased opinion about the top drivers in F1.

Petrov wouldn't have risked crash with Alonso
Sunday 14th November 2010, 16:37

Vitaly Petrov says he wouldn't have risked a crash with Fernando Alonso as he held the Spaniard up for much of the race, scuppering the Ferrari driver's chance of taking his third title.

Luckily for Petrov though, Alonso rarely came close enough to passing the Russian driver. Therefore Petrov managed to stay ahead and secured sixth, his second best finish of the year, boosting his 2011 Renault seat chances.

"I had a long battle with Fernando, but the car had good top speed today so I was able to control the situation," said the Renault driver.

"I just did my job. If he had tried a move, then I didn't want to crash with him, but it didn't come to that.

"I came here to fight, and race every other driver, and I think I showed today that I can fight."

Alonso was less than happy with the situation as he pulled alongside the R30 after the race and expressed his feelings through a multitude of hand gestures.

I guess Petrov did a good job of blocking Alonso. He was fighting for the points and for his seat.

I think the top three grid spots today had the best three drivers in F1 today. (not in any particular order)

I agree, and hopefully we see them battle it out for the WDCs in the forseeable future.

[McHare]

Just like to say that today was a massive relief in terms of Alonso NOT winning the WDC. I don't like cheats because I think they set a bad example to the younger people watching F1. Well done Red Bull. Well done Petrov. Great result!

Me too

[MAD MAX]

I'm soooo gutted for Mr 2 times, not becoming Mr 3 times.
Thoroughly disgraceful and immature display to pull alongside Vetrov and give offensive hand genstures. Well done Adrian Newey and the Red Bull team, 2010 is deservedly your season at the end

As much as Alonso polarises opinions, i think you'd have to be pretty biased to deny that he's one of the top 3 drivers in F1.

[vaptin]

Nish said top three grid slots today, not championship positions, so that Lewis Jenson and Vettel.
