80 degrees F, mostly cloudy, high humidity...and a 50% chance of rain. The low downforce cars are hoping for no rain.

The pre-race weights look very interesting. Barrichello 650,5 kg, Webber 656, Button 672 but Vettel a max. of 683.5.

Safety car will help Kimi. They're weeding themselves out.

You think that you have seen everything in F1 after so many years, but then there is always something new ...

Looked like Kimi was going to be his own birthday candle for a second there...

There will be a ton of strategic moves now.

Yep, and it is great to see that Button is driving for the Championship, not waiting for it.

I'm seeing a lot of cars powered by heart-many drivers are showing how much they want to do well, including Kobayashi!

I'm also seeing rain clouds on the horizon.

Not a feed, but live timing on formula1.com:

Kobayashi may be one of my new favorites. Let's see what Sebastien can do with now.

Kobayashi is a big surprise; he came from nowhere.

Congrats on the weather in Denver. I am envious.

Oh man...what a dramatic start, and for once Jenson actually showed some balls as a racer.

Great Race

Looks Like Button decided to win it all or lose it all TODAY. De drove like a man possessed!
  • Great Drive
  • Great Season
  • Congratulations Jenson

2009 was a very interesting year.
Hopefully 2010 will be even more so.
I hope the Cosworth cars are on pace - we'll see.
Go Lotus???

It's been a great season. New faces and teams running up front.
I guess the "car" is everything.

It is more than just the car - it's the race strategy, tyre choice and driver. To win they all need to be 100%

Looks like they're gonna take strategy out of it next year too. No more re-fueling. All cars start the race with a full tank to go to the end. Man I hate these rules they come up with every year.

Watching the way Button drove today I have to say he is a worthy world champion.
