The race had a bit of everything except an alternator failure during the final safety car period.

I'm sure Tweety's covered it in one of his many tl;dr posts, but who's driving for Sauber next season? and does Senna lose his Williams drive?

Alonso deserved that championship. Vettel is very deserving as well...but Alonso only really lost points when taken out in Spa and Japan...it seems every weekend he got every bit of speed the car had and had so many sneaky results where he muscled the car around with no pace.

Definitely. Alonso did just about everything right this year.

Vettel was extremely luck in this race, with the lap 1 crash somehow not ending his day, and the pass under yellows being officially pardoned by the stewards...

I don't think Vettel was anywhere near as deserving - look at his results in the start of the season when the car wasn't quite the dominant force it usually is. He only came back into contention when Newey & co. got the thing absolutely flying, with 4 consectutive, uncontested, flag to flag victories.

"I went off at the last corner on lap 52 as I couldn't see well with my visor being dirty and fogged up," said Raikkonen, who finished in 10th position to become the only driver to have finished all races in 2012.

"Where I went off you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate.

"I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time.

"Next year I'll make sure it's open again..."

    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
    • Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.
    • I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
