Well done Sebastian. Superb driver and a deserving champion.
Could be argued it was a gift from Ferrari though...

Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Yeah Ferrari blew it.....early pitstop did not payoff....
TBH all 4 drivers would've been worthy, I just wanted to see what Red Bull will say if they didn't win it....
Congrats Vettel, tough luck all the rest....lol

Can't believe Ferrari stunk it up so bad. Of course Alonso had to show what a tool he is flipping off Petrov...who did a great job.
Grats to Vettel....he made the perfect drive.
Well done RBR!
Ferrari's tacticians accidently the whole championship!
lol
Great job from Vettel indeed. I wouldn't bet on him before the race - I expected it to become Alonso vs Webber battle.
amazing work by petrov , both renaults had great race pace
Alonso had Plenty of time & laps to get past , but he couldnt! . webber couldnt catch up either
domination from the front by vettel
showed hes got the pace , but stuff like spa & turkey hangs over his reputation
That race shows how badly the overtaking problem needs solved. When a 2 time world champion in a Ferrari can't get past a rookie in a Renault...
Anyways, congrats to Vettel. I think the fastest man in the fastest car won, so the cosmic order is maintained (and we don't have the spectre of the Alonso-less-than-7-point-win hanging over our heads).
This thing has entertained me the most today:

Three world champions on the podium.That was pretty awesome.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
I fell asleep halfway through the race, but it looks like I saw most of the action anyway. I was surprised that Webber didn't pit under the safety car, from where he was and what he needed to win a ballsy move like that could have paid off big time. Not the outcome I was hoping for, but at least Alonso didn't win.![]()
Life's too short to drive bad cars.
I saw the race at work (they placed a huge LCD monitor in our restaurant specially for the race). When the Vettel passed the finish line, the room absolutely exploded in joy... well, if you ignore the Webber fans. He would have surely deserved to win, but Vettel simply outperformed him yesterday (in some sort).
Alonsos 7'th place is somehow ironic, but then again, he didn't desever otherwise.

It will be difficult to pass regardless if you have a 4-5 km/h deficit down the straight, especially on a track where the primary overtaking zones are at the end of the long straight....
Will be interesting to see next year, without the DDD, F-duct, and with the re-introduction of KERS, how that will affect this...

Braking distance is still a unaddressed problem in F1 as far as passing goes.
