Brazil Banter - "Yep. Thanks guys."

I should be happy, this race saw the most coverage of Williams all year. If only there had been a Venezuelan grand prix too.
Especially for all the geekier participants in the league, there was lots of geeky chat during this race. Oh my, I could listen to DC and Brundle chat about how gearboxes could brake forever...but how will Sky do?
So farewell to free race coverage, farewell to the 2011 season, farewell to Barrichello (?) and farewell to that prize money happily resting in my bank account.

Brazil GP Charts

Chart of Lust
1. (new entry) Alonso's overtake on Button - made the race worth watching.
2. (new entry) Good luck - for Webber. At last.
3. (re-entry) Team radio - so we knew about Vettel's broken gearbox. Giving viewers a glimmer of hope for an interesting race.
4. (new entry) Vettel's helmet-cam - great shots even if they were a little wobbly
5. (new entry) Conspiracy theories - I might believe this one...Vettel had "ropey" (um hello, it lasted until the end of the race) gearbox, so that Webber is allowed a race win.
Chart of Loathing
1. (new entry) Senna's penalty - Massa and Hamilton did not go anywhere near each other. The stewards must have been bored. Let's hope Alex Wurz saved enough F1 loot to afford to be smuggled away from the track.
2. (new entry) Barrichello obituary - he's not dead. He hasn't even retired. Officially.
3. (new entry) Coverage of Sam Michael - is he wearing McLaren uniform yet? No And now? No And now? No.
4. (re-entry) Rain chat - on and on and the clouds never broke.
5. (new entry) Raikkonnen not going to drive for Williams - boooooooooo.

Abu Dhabi GP Charts

Chart of Lust
1. (new entry) Sam Michael - clearly brings something to a team, nothing Williams wanted though.
