As for giving the drive of the race to Petrov, why? Just because he screwed up Alonso's race? How pathetic. It's not as if Alonso put him under much pressure. The pit call screwed Alonso, not Petrov.

Drive of the race goes to Vettel. Absolutely superb all weekend and the one who ultimately kept his nerve.

I gave it to Petrov because he has had a tough season and made a great many mistakes, yet with arguably the best driver in F1 breathing down his neck, he was faultless in defence.

He wasn't exactly breathing down his neck TBH.

Like I said, Ferrari sucked in... as for Petrov he did what he had to do and Teflonso did put some pressure on him and wasn't capable to surpass him and this was a good job for Petrov.
I wouldn't be surprised if some Ferrari guy went to Renault's garage trying to make a deal...

Alonso: for realising that it would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth if he became WDC with a sub-8 point margin. So being the honourable man he is, he fell on his sword.

A deal like "If Petrov lets Alonso past and holds up Webber we will give you free engines next year....."

Fact is: Petrov is the only person other than Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton, Webber, Button and Kubica to have scored a fastest lap this year. His first half of the season wasn't too bad for a rookie and some of his qualifying efforts put him into Q3 a few times.

He withstood pressure from a multiple WDC driving a faster car for half a race without a major mistake. If he had done this at any other time of the season for any of the drivers ahead of him he would have been a hero. Alonso had his year, but didn't have his perfect race.

Webber had his chances and made a few errors, basically Valencia and Korea, that cost him the title plus a qualifying effort in Abu Dhabi that locked him into a mid pack hold up. But he could have had a go at Alonso and never really did. He had nothing to lose.

Vettel was flawless at Yas Marina.
Petrov? I'd take him any day over Buemi, Algy, di Grassi,Senna, etc. Only Hulkenberg and Kobyashi race better or as well outside the long term F1 regulars.

I thought about petrov, and he was a valid choice. He drove with skill and consistency was there. It was without doubt his best performance of the year, one that might even keep him gainfully employed in F1.

But at the end of the day I have to give it to Vettel. He was under intense pressure from not only those suggesting he should focus on helping his teamate. At the end of the day Vettel did what he needed to with clinical efficiency, from getting a pole lap with only one run in Q3. He managed to get pole position, anf he buillt on that with a great start and controlled the day with a performance that could not be faulted. His in and outlap were superb and guaranteed he kept the race lead after the pit stop cycle.

It was a worthy drive to clinch your first WDC with. He did everything he needed to and made no mistakes something his more experienced fellow title challengers were not able to do.

Well done Seb. A great performance.

I said Vettel, but both Renaults would have been good choices as well.
