Sounds like Kimi.

Would be good to see stewards clamping down on track limits too - Webber did this on his pole lap

Others guilty too.

No, that shouldn't be allowed and I don't know why the FIA have gone back on what they said at the start of the weekend and what they repeated this morning; http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111054

Very odd behaviour.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

FIA make it up as they go along, hope anyone that went out in Q1 or Q2 puts up a fuss if someone who should have lost their times had stopped them getting into the next part of quali.

Bet the atmosphere now at Lotus could be cut with a knife.

All drama happening outside the racing line, lol.
If Kimi was fighting for the championship, I'd obviously burst my vein, but now I only laugh at these shenanigans. Doesn't matter a thing. Melbourne qualifying is the next thing that counts.

Does anybody know why this is called the Abu Dhabi GP and not the UAE GP? Or have I missed something simple.

Good to see nothing being done about track limits again.

When are we next at a proper circuit?

I quite like COTA but I'd assume only Brazil counts as "proper" in that regard.

Believe it or not, I'm expecting a fun Abu Dhabi GP.....though everyone saying it's a shitty track, a shitty GP and etc, I know and I agree but you have to consider last years edition was remarkable and fun to be watched.....the circuit is a high tech shit but, I'm expecting another fun GP.

Look, Vettel is four times World Champion, he won it basically without contest this year, driver's championship is ridiculously over with three races to the end, do you guys want anything worst than that??? Can this get any worse? Why am I going to lose optimism? Everything that makes F1 boring had already happened this year, now I want some fun race. Hopefully Webber can get it and I still think it's a mistake that he's decided to quit F1.

You may want a fun race, but as long as Red Bull's main rivals keep having these niggly little issues (Fernando out in Q2, Lewis' suspension failure, Kimi's wing, etc) then there is no contest for the lead which takes a lot of the fun out of it for most people.
Our hope for a close race rests with Mark standing up to Sebass for a change.
But lets face it, he'll probably be at least 2nd by turn 1 and will have some sort of KERS or other issue in the race, as Red Bull can seemingly only run 1 car reliably these days.
And this is coming from someone who'd really, really like to see Mark win the final 3 races before his retirement!

Personally, I'll be happy enough watching Kimi and Fernando climb through the field. So long as the TV director aids me in that option ;)

Probably because Abu Dhabi is an emirate and not an actual country and the other emirates didn't agree or something like that.

pole man didn't reach the finish on 3 out of 4 occaisions. Hoping Webber can turn it round, but I think not.
