Fantastic race for Button, and congrats to Seb on being 2x WDC

Also a nice back and forth between Button/Vettel before the podium over the incident at the start (which I think was dirty, but legal)

Button: Didn't you see me at the start?
Vettel: You were a little behind, weren't you?
Button: I guess that's how we are racing then.

I pulled up the race again for the full dialogue:

Button: So didn't you see me at the start?
Vettel: You were a little behind, weren't you?
Button: Come on, I was halfway alongside on the grass (smiling)
Vettel: Yeah, halfway...
Button: Ok. That's how we're racing then.
Vettel: What was the restart?
Button: Sorry? The restart?

Then they walk out.

Then during the BBC forum Button said Vettel later told him that he never saw him in mirrors and that he believed he was honest about that, yet they showed him the replay with Vettel clearly looking back and forth in his right mirror and Button says "Well, he must have a pretty big blind spot there".

i logged in earlier in the day and didnt get it, will try again today. Did you have to do anything other than just load up the game?

while the g27 wheel works, its not natively supported, so you can map out buttons, etc. There is a 2.0 update to GT5 coming out tomorrow, w/ full support for the G27 and cockpit view to all cars and supposedly faster loading times

Yep, that's what i'm looking forward to.
And finally, in-game save for endurance race....I can finally go complete the last two 24 hour endurance races....

in order to get it, log into PSN, fire up GT5, and update the game (a quick one)....then u should get it in "community gift"

I'd be mad too, it was a bit naughty for Vettel, but doubt it to be a penalty at all...

I guess I need to get PSN now. lol for the car and the G27 update. mine wouldn't work correctly at all (but is a beast in F1 11).

So glad Button got this win. Congrats to Vettel! Ferrari, or at least Alonso, looked pretty strong there. LOL @ Hamilton/Massa yet again. Seriously.

Find any pics of the celebration at the karaoke bar???

Hope Korea is exciting! Got my tix for Grandstand B! Race start video!

Was thinking, if Button has gone 0.010 second quicker in Q3. He would've put a pure dominate grand slam in result.
Fastest in P1, P2, and P3. Fastest Lap in race and a race win.

I thought the race was boring. Not much action going on out there.

Congrats to Vettel for his 2nd WDC. Totally dominated the season, even if I didn't like it.

Nice race by Button. He is definitely 'on' right now.

PS I'd like to see footage from the party Red Bull threw that night.

Just watched the race. It was not bad, pretty exciting and enough to keep me entertained. I could see why Vettel was a tad annoyed as he had the pace to perhaps win, but his strategy was not so great. Nonetheless, a huge congrats to him and Red Bull, he was virtually flawless this season. The kid continues to impress.

Alonso was awesome as usual, his ability to outdrive his car is awesome. Come on Ferrari, give us a worthy car next season!!

Jenson has been hugely impressive this season, and his form continues. What more can be said??

And Hamilton , where on earth is his head? He now seems unable to even match Jenson on pace. His mishaps with Massa are bordering on comical these days

Not going to turn this thread into another Hamilton discussion, but the incident with Massa was relatively minor.

I don't see the big deal. If Button hadn't backed out at the start, it would have been the same thing there. So maybe you should be asking where Massa's head was since he chose to not back out and let it hang there. In fact Hamilton almost got a 2nd puncture out of the deal because Massa's winglet hit the back of Hamilton's front left tire.

Anyways, a puncture put him behind the curve, lost him time, and offset his pit stops. You can hardly blame him for that.

Its just not the best season for Hamilton this year. He is either unlucky, or had some momentary brain-fart moment, some careless / amatuar mistake that he shouldn't make.
This time in Japan hardly you can blame him, a puncture put him in the backfoot and stuck around Massa. If he had a clean run and no puncture, we could possibly see a Mclaren 1-2 and a four-way fight to the end.

Just like Red Bull this time had a conservative strategy, and horrible put Vettel behind some midfield cars when he just out of the pit. That set him back a few seconds a lap.


But I was laughing so hard when Hamilton and Massa came together again.... This is turning into a comedy and Massa is the one who was fuming all the time...I feel sooner or later the team will replace him with a younger and hungrier driver, and willing to learn from Alonso (if Alonso hasn't destroy the rookie yet) and be a #2, which benefit the team for constructors championship.

I think they are openly targeting Perez for 2013. Or Kubica, as he is friends with Alonso, assuming he is fit by then.
