TV Show Happy Days - The character "Potsie", his last name was Webber...

only one person seems to call him that... it hasn't caught on yet and I doubt it will.

Final race of the year and Vet had the legs on Potsie.

Well Done To Seb, Also Well done to Mark, that last lap was heart in your mouth stuff, he had that car by the neck and did a good job on ailing tyres and brakes to keep button behind. I must also say the post race press conference was a funny event also, Seb, Mark and Jenson all giving it to one another, was quite good to see.

Yep, I reckon that sums up the whole thread perfectly!

That might be the truth.

So, to keep the thread thriving, who's going to come out top next year? Will Vettel ascend to a higher plane, and has Webber any more to give?

I read that Webbo still has 'stuff' to be removed from his leg suggesting that he still ain't in top nick then, so he will start 2010 better than this season and ought to be challenging from the off.

Plus I've got a feeling next year's rules aren't necessarily going to suit Sebastian. This year he proved to be harder on his tyres than Mark and that may be exacerbated next year

Although it was Webber that seemed to be going backwards on the softer option tyre in Abu dhabi.

At the risk of sounding like a Webber fanboi, I think I remember the commentators saying he was doing the same pace as Vettel at the end (until those final couple of defensive laps) on the softer tires, and that the Brawn was faster than both, as opposed to Webber being alot slower than Vettel.

Vettel was no doubt 'stroking it home' at that point (dodgy Renault engines remember), whereas Webber didn't really have that luxury.

Button should have done his first two stints on the softer tyre.

True, it's possible/likely.
