Rosberg said the double points are a blessing for the fans



If he was in Lewis his shoes he would have hated it.

What the double points have brought this year is that the decision of the championship will always fall in the last race, even if Hamilton wins in Brazil and Rosberg retires.

Marussia have made their staff redundant apparently.

And the administrators just confirmed it to Sky

Hope Bernie is happy, he's getting what he wanted.

And CVC and the big teams...

Any chance someone will buy Manor?
Damn if there's only 9 teams next year. What happened to Forza Rossa anyway?

I'm pretty sure he was taking the piss as he said earlier on in the year he hated the idea. In any case, what would you expect him to say?

@JJ, knowing Administrators they would rather burn the entry than sell it on the cheap, well KMPG would, this lot seems to have a similar mentality, even if we clubbed together and offered a million, if it's perceived value was a billion, they wouldn't sell it, administrators rarely think of anybody but themselves, they get paid first you see

Plus of course the previous Phoenix debarcle makes the entry valueless for anybody but Manor.

A staff of 200 people for Marussia? Damn, F1 has changed a lot. That's ridiculous for such a 'small' team.

In more positive news, the Sky Sports Twitter account has just confirmed that Caterham will make Abu Dhabi if they can raise the money - they're looking for £2.35 million from fans

Meh, I really liked the whole attitude of that Marussia team. Great looking cars, pretty fun to follow on the online front. Plus they gave our little country another F1 driver after so long, so forever thankful for that!

I hope they won't mainly be remembered for the two tragic incidents that happened to them.

...and justify the shitload of money that Abu Dhabi payed to have the final race

Yes, they got what they wanted. Wish that Hamilton had scored just a point more than now and took the crown this weekend.

and I thought it was Vettel that would secure the championship in Japan

I do still care.

But like next sunday I will go to a football match instead of watching the race; two years ago I would never have done that. Especially not for the Brazilian Grand Prix which is usually a good race. I will miss the last Grand Prix as well. I used to organise my weekends around the races. Now I just tape them and watch them later. And the qualifying, when I am at home I will put it on tv, but when not at home I don't even bother taping it anymore.

I just have very mixed feelings.

One part of me says I want F1 to become again the pinnacle of motorsport, with not too much rules so that you really see the cars and drivers giving it all. Now with all the restrictions like engine freeze, one tyre supplier, RPM limiter and a few other things you jus see the cars going to like 95% of their limit. It used to be 100%, and when they went over it... KABOOM...

But yet they manage to spend hundreds of millions... on what? New front wing end plates?

But the other part of me says that also the small teams should have a chance, I want to see full grids, and seeing a small team getting some points like Bianchi at Monaco is just great. So then I suppose you need all those regulations to make sure we don't have a season like 1992 for example.

Here's the Caterham crowdfunding project: https://www.crowdcube.com/caterham/

Biggest donation seems to have been of £2,500. He/she got a front wing.

£10,000 and get TBK-Light plastered everywhere?

Probably Tony Fernandez, to show people he still cares

with Barrichello accidently taking Hamilton out and Rosberg winning on double points?

I thought the Brazilian wanted a proper goodbye.
