I fell asleep on the couch, I think on the lap after HAM spun out and then pitted, and woke up 7 laps before the checkered flag. Didn't feel I missed much... sleep

Hopefully the final race will be more exciting than this one. It will be interesting to see if the pressure to win the last race for the championship will affect either or both Mercedes drivers. I might want to stay clear of that fray since it's entirely possible that they could take each other accidentally or otherwise.

I was really, really hoping it was going to rain like crazy for the race, as then it might have actually been interesting to watch. F1 is so awful now. Seeing the pictures in this thread of all those ridiculous front wings tells you all you need to know about why it sucks. Get those damned wings off the car! |

Yup, there were more tension than excitement and action. Not often in Brazil, thanks to the warmer temperature (hottest in like a decade), and new tarmac surface.

The 2014 season hasn't been nearly as bad as some of the seasons where Schumacher simply DOMINATED, and there was almost no point in watching the races... a child could have predicted the winner of those race IMO.
Now the fact that Mercedes has ran away from the competition this year, very true, but at least it's a battle between 2 drivers, and not a single-driver monopoly. Do the cars sound like crap? Well after so many years of 18k rpm V12s, V10s, and V8s.... YES I get the fact that the technology is amazing, but I don't care... they sound like higher revving open wheel Priuses with 10x more power... BOO! Rosberg comes across as a silver-spoon baby to me... he should stick to playing polo and eating caviar. At leat Hamilton seems to have "fun" and enjoys himself out there... he seems like a HUMAN BEING, which is evidenced by his intraction with the population outisde of the F1 community as well. The DOUBLE POINTS thing... yeah, stupid. Let's just hope Hamilton wins this season, and we get to see more stars like Bottas emerge in 2015.

I guess I'm of a different opinion than most of you guys. I rather enjoyed this season in relation to what we've seen in recent years. Yes, it's been dominated by one team, but at least there were/are two drivers fighting for the title. I'm glad to see Williams back on top and that there's a good amount of competition behind the two front-runners. Is it one of the best seasons? No, but it's kept me interested enough to see it through the entire year.
All politics and lame rules aside, I'm eagerly anticipating who wins in Abu Dhabi and can't wait until Honda joins the fray in 2015. |

As for the season, it's a shame that another team didn't make-up some ground on Mercedes during the year, as happened with Brawn, McLaren, and Red Bull in the past. But it has been a rarity in modern F1 to see a rivalry like this. |

If both Rosberg and Hamilton were to DNF (0 points to either driver), is anyone else close enough to take the title with the double points for the win?

No, Ricciardo is in 3rd and he's 103 points off of Rosberg's 317. Mercedes is already guaranteed the the Driver's title as well, just a matter of which driver. If both Mercedes drivers have DNF's then pretty much the driver's championship stays the same as it is now.

I haven't had a chance to watch F1 that often , because I do not have a cable. I do follow the news every week.
I did watch all the F1 races on NBC this year. I just wish they have more "onboard" footage like they use to. Going back to Nico vs Lewis deal..... I would rather see Nico winning the title over Lewis. Didn't Lewis had problems with Alonzo and Button when he was in McLaren?

I'd be OK with Rosberg winning the championship if he hadn't pulled his dirty pool moves earlier in the year. He wouldn't have earned it if he does win it.
Hamilton on the other hand, if he wins, it'll be a hard won, worked for win. |

The most I can remember when Hamilton has a problem with Button is about some twitter or Facebook thing. oh the drama...

it would serve them right to have a Merc processional 1NR, 2LH with no drama to reinforce the idiocy of this last race double points system

If they really want to use a points system to create drama, how about this: Bernie picks a race to be double points, but doesn't reveal which one until the end of the season. Or better yet, a field of former F1 drivers participate in an exhibition race, where each car is numbered from 1 - 20. The winner's car number designates which race is double points. |

In the history of F1, drivers who have scored 8 or more victories have all gone on to win the championship. Embarrassing for F1 to have a false champion. Bernie is really hoping double points doesn't f*ck this up. Double points will be gone after this season. Single dumbest rule ever implemented in F1.

I still think Lewis should "accidentally" run into Nico in the first turn. Taking them both out of the race. Same as Aryton in 1990.
Team championship is wrapped up. Nothing to lose there. Only way to truly nullify the double points race. Lewis still owes Nico one anyways, karma's a b*tch. |

I believe he tried to do so in Japan but it didn't work out. MSC knocked himself out and JV won the championship that year.
