Congrats RZR on a fine win. :cheers:

It was an absolutely superb race to watch (I didn't nod off once, for a change). Pity you missed it, Pete, as it was definitely the best race of the season. If the stewards had decided that Vettel had overtaken during the yellow flags, then a 20 second penalty would've handed the title to Alonso. I'm so glad Vettel won, not that I'm anti Alonso, but I really think that he deserved it. It would've been nice if Hulkenburg had won the race, but c'est la vie.

Looking forward to next season already. Having this pool running just adds another dimension when watching the races (thanks, Pete).

Well done RZR, you built up a good lead. That was the best race of the season. I happy I beat VS again, she always seems to be chasing me. :oops: :roll: Looking forward to the competition next year.
Thanks Pete for running it.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Sorry for the late addition to the fray, but big congratulations, Mr Rocker, on a fine win. I have been puzzling all season long as to what your particular secret is. What is/was it that gave you that extra edge, that 'je ne sais quoi' that I could never quite get my finger on. You were good. You were very good. But you let it slip at the very end. Your secret is out. It was those cheese and onion sandwiches, wasn't it? Now I know, so I am going to put in some winter testing in preparation for next season. Don't worry, however. I won't tell anybody...

Well done again, sunshine!

P.

P.S. Do you have mustard on those sandwiches?

Congrats gratefully received :cheers:

You know there is no secret that gave me the edge, just a different strategy, which was picked up from a fellow competitor, who shall remain nameless for the time being! :wink: :D

I don't have mustard on the c&o sandwiches, though i may give it a try, sounds good! :D
