Brazilian GP - "I love you guys"

Yes

Aussie hats at Red Bull - the best touch amongst all the farewell plans
Rosberg - did everything he could to thwart Vettel but it didn't last long
Susie Wolff - showing she really cares about Williams from the garage
Fernando and Mark - the F1 bromance

No

Ross Brawn speculation - is he going?  There's no statement saying he is.
Alonso - a good start gone bad
No wheels on their wagons - Bottas and Hamilton
Hamilton - look where you're going
Poor pit stops - Vettel finally, finally gets one and it still doesn't hamper his progress
Massa's "doughnuts" - why have Williams hired a driver who can't even do doughnuts?

Lastly, thank you so much for your support over the year.  I hope you've all enjoyed playing and we stand united in our disliking of Vettel.

Apologies in advance

I am going to be in London next weekend visiting Still Chewing, so I won't see the race until Monday evening...The final FF1 results will be up as soon as I can get them.  There's still one hometrack race to play out, so I'm keeping the suspense turned up to 11 for as long as possible!

American GP - "We have to remember these days. There's no guarantee they'll last forever...We have an incredible team spirit. I love you."



Yeeha

Q3 - Bottas 1, Maldonado 18
Bottas' moving wing cam - although it does perhaps make me a little motion sick
Webber's 2.3 second stop - I think it's some sort of camera trick
Bottas' overtake on Gutierrez
Too many star drivers to choose from - Bottas?  Grosjean?
Andretti - a nice change on the podium
Grosjean pronounces it "lo-toos"

No way Hose

Q3 - Bottas 1, Maldonado 18
Hamilton's Michael Jackson tribute helmet
We haven't seen Sutil on camera for a long time - we have seen lots of his girlfriend though
Did we spot those blue necklaces?
Webber's start - he practically retired on the grid
Vettel - the only man in F1 who can make doughnuts boring
Who is on Grosjean's helmet?  Obama?
What are Williams' pitlane procedures that mean they are slower than anyone else?

Sadly the interweb has let me down on lots of questions today.

A last note - should we leave Vettel out of FF1 next year?

Abu Dhabi GP - "That was a world champion's drive"

Pffffff...what to say about this race?  Other than bor-ing.  If you have anything interesting to add, please comment below.

Fine

Brundle's labelling a certain section of the grid "the job centre zone"
EJ vs. Brundle on the grid

Rather not

Kimi's disqualification and subsequent crashing out in the first corner - the one potential piece of excitement disappeared so quickly
Croft calling the grid row of Di Resta and Button "all-English" - obviously this doesn't bother me at all but I did have to listen to some whinging about it
Bottas' awful, points-losing pitstop
Button maintaining his anywhere-but-the-points strategy

PS. Apparently it's fines not penalties for doughnuts...boo.

PPS. It has been rumoured that Mr Raikkonen will not be racing at America or Brazil due to not being paid this year, feel free to check back on the rules but FF1 teams do not score points for replacement drivers.
