Donkey of the race - Abu Dhabi
Alguersari - he really should know where his pits are by now, this wasn't his first GP after all...
Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

Grosjean or Fisi, both rubbish compared with their team mates and everyone else
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Jamie Alguesari for single-handedly rewriting the drivers' bumper book of excuses.

Jaime Alguersuari for going into the wrong pits, I know they're both Red Bull teams but still it was very funny.
Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

Fisi, he was about one MINUTE slower in the race than Kimi.

I would have loved to see the expression on the Red Bull pit crew's faces.
"Wot, this isn't our car! Hey, you! Get this bag of bolts out'ta here!"
So Alguersuari for me.

Yas Marina circuit. Boring race. Why should I care about the day/night race and the stupid lights on the buildings? I watch the cars/teams/drivers, not the friggin' circuit!!!

At the finish, Kimi was 54 seconds behind Vettel, and GF was about 2 seconds behind Vettel and a lap down. With race laps in the 1:43 range, I'd say Kimi beat Fisi by about 51 seconds. Now factor in Fisi's drive-though penalty (about 10-15 seconds) and you have the true gap; 35-40 seconds. Originally Posted by DexDexter
Actually, I think the most significant stat would be the gap just before the first stop, which was about 20-23 seconds. After that, Kimi had a lonely drive, passing no one, while GF had to make his way by a couple of drivers after he got sent to the tail-end of the field after the drive-through. 20-23 seconds may be quite substantial in your book, but considering that it was probably 7-8 seconds after just 2-3 laps Fisi's pace wasn't that bad.
