Abu Dhabi GP - "Woo hoo...world champion, I can't believe it"

Hooray

Access all areas - Rosberg was allowed backstage to congratulate Hamilton.  A little moment of love shared.  How unlike FoM.
Contentious doughnuts - from Hamilton
Caterham - made it to Abu Dhabi, now we are waiting for our merch
Bottas - third in the drivers' championship
Not giving up - a lesson from Rosberg to many other drivers
Yachts - yes please
Face cam - especially good showing the moments of radio from Rosberg
The podium - a Williams double and the world champion got a spot too
Double points made no difference
 
Expecting better next year...

Contentious doughnuts - permission denied to Rosberg
Old school fire - from Maldonado
Tweeting - desperate tweets from Mercedes to fix Rosberg's car, I don't think this was the best use of resources in this case
Superimposed graphics - I'm sure Lewis appreciated seeing he was on course to win the championship lap after lap
If the race finishes now... - started 14 laps in
Losing hope - would the start replay show that Hamilton had jumped it?  Will he get a poor pitstop?
Poor starts - Bottas and Rosberg
Alonso/Button battle - we barely saw one move of this battle between champions
Prince Harry on the radio - bizarre?

Lastly, thanks everyone for playing this year.  I'll offer an enormous apology for the erratic and often late posts (I'm not taking any responsibility for this and entirely blaming Baby Pitstop) and look forward to seeing where testing leaves us in February.
