Default F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix






Its crunch time for the season finally this weekend and good to see its being shown Live on BBC1 rather than pay for view, also at long last Vettel confirmed as new Ferrari drive with alonso out, whats happening with Button ?

Hamilton fastest in FP1. Hamilton just needs to keep cool and it's his for the taking.

roll on Sundays race

rosberg on poll can only do his best and win, hoping Hamilton has an issue, as pretty much a guaranteed 2nd place for him.

I think that the pace of the Williams will worry Hamilton. In theory he could let Rosberg fly off into the lead, maintain second place and be world champion. However with the Williams seemingly flying, second place seems far from guaranteed for Hamilton, so it looks like he will have to fight Rosberg for the lead.

I think this race will be a test of if lewis has matured as he could simply sit tight and keep 2nd place or want the win and do somthing rash potentially putting himself out of the race risking it all, but have to say looking forward to it

I'm just hoping Hamilton doesn't try too hard and make a stupid mistake as a result which costs him the championship.
He should sit tight until drs is available, walk past Nico, then hold him up until at least one of the Williams gets past him.

be a shame if hamilton doesn't win the title as he's proven to be the better racer between the pair. iirc rosberg hasn't been able to overtake hamilton all season on the track and go on to win a race...

yep.. Congrats Lewis..

was all over in the first few seconds when Lewis was first into turn one after he radio'd in the change in track condition during the warm up lap and made a change to the car to compensate for it..

He's true racer at heart IMO and kudos to Rosberg for accepting defeat graciously instead of blaming the car..
