Chart of Lust
1. 4-way drivers championships - they are exciting.
2. (re-entry) Sparkly helmets - working their magic for Vettel.
3. F1 names - this entry is dedicated to my new favourite, Kenny Handkammer.
4. (re-entry) Yachts - yes, please.
5. Germans crying - always slightly satisfying.
Chart of Loathing
1. (new entry - I know, how so?!) Ledgard - unable to distinguish between a front and a rear wing.
2. (re-entry) Graphics - no one's overtaken any one, or pitted, for laps. I think the championship prediction will be same as when you showed it 30 seconds ago.
3. (new entry) Wet shirt contests - as sported by Red Bull Top Brass on the podium. Why him when there are all those lovely clapping ladies hanging around?
4. (static) EJ - firstly for the purple trousers and secondly, for his ability to conduct a lengthy interview, allowing the interviewee (Dietrich Mateschitz) to only get one sentence in.
5. (new entry) Queen - Red Bull need a new CD.

Abu Dhabi Deliberations - "Thank you. I love you."
Never mind the bollards, the FF1 2010 season has drawn to a close. The Beeb kicked this off with a racism-lite Arabian nights (with a Welsh twang) introduction to their coverage. Then rolled out the Big Guns: Moss and Walker, who they didn't sit near to each other to have a conversation.
There were a lot of classic quotes to take away from the race. My favourite was the team radio to Alonso: "Use the best of your talent. We know how big it is." It's a shame the Ferrari strategists only packed their second-best talent, their best talent must have been at the dry-cleaners. Schumacher commented, when asked about Vettel's victory compared to his: "My time is a different time from this time." If this is not your time, Schumi, why are you driving a car that so many other, talented, drivers would get better use out of? Alonso was looking at the positives at the end, taking a lot from his failure by noting for the record that he has beaten some other records. But not any important ones I guess.
So, at the end of the year, two young men finally revealed the talent the got them into F1. Petrov came good and held up a two-time world champion and Vettel waited until after he crossed the chequered line, to be told that he had won. Not sure I believe him.
Thanks for playing along this year. Have a happy off-season. See you in March.

Brazil Charts
Chart of Lust
1. (re-entry) The Hulk - who else could take this week's number 1 slot! And say "what a nice surprise!"
2. (re-entry) Adrian Newey - his genius confirmed by another constructor's championship.
3. (new entry) McLaren VIP area - in-the-pit deck to watch the race from, I wonder if Williams have one to....and how one gets an invite?
4. (new entry) Samba on the podium - made a welcome change from the usual Classic FM track for spraying the champers.
5. Eddie Jordan - knew all along that Williams would be on pole, apparently.
Chart of Loathing
1. (new entry) Jake Humphrey - believes that pole "is nearly a new experience for Williams". My Jake voodoo doll really suffered this weekend.
2. (new entry) Whinging - Hamilton, over and over and over. You are not world champion, you do not have a champion car, get over it.
3. (new entry) "If it stayed like this..." - repeated ad nauseum. I know there's not much happening on track but can we have a little creativity to our commentary please, Ledgard.
4. (new entry) Eddie Jordan - knew Webber would take Hulk immediately, have more faith, even if it's fruitless, Eddie. And then there's his pink-spotted shirt - bringing sartorial disasters to HD.
5. (re-entry) BBC Coverage - comparing Alonso to a horse.

Oh deep joy!
Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop
Still inclined to dance around my flat, shrieking. Qualifying will never be as good again. Hoping tomorrow never comes.
