I've like F1 so much more since he retired. And an Alles Deutscher Mercedes team might annoy a lot of people. But maybe Bernie would put on a Sudetenland GP for them.

@Maxichamp: Well, now is as good as ever to introduce this wicked video of a young Michael almost being run over by an even younger Heidfeld. Plus, bonus chubby Ralf cameo.

So this is like when you break up with that chick that you thought wasn't all that, and then you start getting lonely on Saturday night, and you tell your buddies that maybe you might be interested in getting back with her?

Jeez. It's a freaking soap opera out there.

Well it has been an interesting season, I think Jenson is a good driver, but the Honda that was developed early on for this season helped, so did the diffuser mix up at the start of the season. But at the Brazil GP, I think a lot of people skipped over the fact that McLaren set Kimi on fire!

"At the pit stop, I ended up with some drops of petrol in my eye, from the fuel line stuck on Kovalainen's car and then I was engulfed in flames and blinded: I was going to stop, but luckily the flames soon went out. Even now, my eyes are still burning, but I'm alright. After the restart, I could only try and use the strategy to move up the order and at least I brought home a few points. I am disappointed because today I'm sure we could have made it to the podium."

So all you Kimi haters can just ask yourself, have you been doused in petrol, set on fire and leisurely returned to a F1 GP?

Good show Jens, but I do like Vettel and I I'm sure in the right car he will be (is) very good. #jensonbutton

My two favorite moments from Brazil;

Kamui Kobayashi holding off points leader Jenson Button then going on to place 9th in his first ever F1 race.

Jenson Button singing "We Are The Champions" badly over the team radio.

Regardless of whether you like F1 or not, it's definitely been an interesting season. #jensonbutton

A great achievement by Ross Brawn (sure that's your real name, call me Wolf Blitzer), but it's sad to see the crass commercialization has already started!

The BBC says the Brawn rear diffuser innovation made the car significantly better while other teams protested until everyone adopted it, nevertheless Button winning first 6 of 7 is impressive. He lost in so-so cars and won in a good one. #jensonbutton

@skierpage: the diffuser business was really a storm in a teacup. Red Bull didn't have a twin diffuser until halfway through the season, and they won and highly placed early on. Other teams also went down the twin diffuser route but didn't dominate. The most significant thing about the diffuser for Brawn is that it stopped people poking around the rest of the car to figure out why it was fast, which suited them fine.

The Brawn domination early on was a combination of extremely good aero efficiency and tyre preservation and a leading pack that had bad cars (Mclaren, Ferrari et al). It was also a result of the cubic dollars that Honda poured into the 09 car in 08. #jensonbutton

I remember him saying on Top Gear that he would give up everything he had if it would bring him the F1 championship. Well Jenson you don't have to give anything up, you now have both! Well done. #jensonbutton

The most exciting 3-4 weeks of this entire F1 season were those 3-4 weeks when Schumacher planned on filling in for Massa. Everything else was quite dreary - the top drivers (Raikkonen, Hamilton, Alonso, etc) having nothing but trouble with their cars. It just felt like an off year. But I will agree that it is amazing what Ross Brawn was able to do with the old Honda team. #jensonbutton

@Joshman Junção: I was looking forward to seeing Schuey come back as a super sub. It'd be interesting to see how he did in an awful car, and with being rusty. Schumacher had a tendency to behave badly when he didn't have the advantage, and this would have tested him. Yet he still has phenomenal skills. #jensonbutton

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: The skills are still there but the neck isn't. I agree that seeing Schumacher back would have been fun but the season certainly didn't need anything else to spice it up. #jensonbutton
