Abu Dhabi GP

Right, the penultimate race of the season.

Hamilton is quickest in FP2, while Vettel and Alonso went off the track.

My prediction: another snoozefest with Vettel winning. Hamilton or Button for second, and Alonso / Webber for third.

Agree on 1st and 2nd, 3rd really depends on where Petrov pops up after the 1st series of pit stops.

Good call!

Although I suspect Vettel's puncture had more to do with it. I'm actually really happy for Lewis, it seems that he's finally making some progress after what has been quite a dismal season for him. This win couldn't have come at a better time, IMO.

The MP4-26 now has 6 wins overall, which is one more than last year's car. The battle next year should be quite exciting. Bring on the MP4-27!

Great Race. If only Button's KERS system was working. Could have had a McLaren 1st and 2nd podium finish.

The team did a great job this year. They are much better than that Red Italian company BUT....I repeat BUT.. They need to up the game and compete with RedBull for 1st place next year! It has been a VERY VERY long time since the last McLaren Constructor championship.
