    Brundle. He didn't say "Look, but never stare!" for once. That is worth celebrating. <ok>

    A 3 way tie between Alonso for that late charge towards the end, Red Bull for having the sense to keep Vettel from going for glory and risking getting taken out, and Button for providing another answer to the surprisingly large wave of criticism that gets thrown at him each weekend.

    Definitely! That's always so cringe-worthy when he says it.

    Welcome to the forum! Talking of fastest laps, Kobayashi finishing a Quali session top at his home race, despite the tyre advantage, must have felt special.

    IIRC Perez's fastest race lap was 0.001 slower than Button's fastest lap. Epic stuff from Checo.

    Waiting for someone else to mention it... sadly these things are forgotten.
    Yeah I would have mentioned it anyway. Good race by Michael, solid... fast performance.

    Good 9th from Petrov. Been put in the shade due to Senna in my eyes.

    Thank you. It's a pleasure to find a more grown up 606...

    My second nomination for champagne moment goes to the marshal from right of screen who came from nowhere to win the race Massa's wing debris.

    Champagne moment? - For me, having now seen the BBC's red-button coverage, there is one 'moment' that stands out head and shoulders above all others for the whole season. Indeed, it was one of the most touching things I have seen in motor racing for many many years.

    During one of the several interviews Vettel gave to anyone who grabbed him (not least our own Eddie Jordan), there was a beautiful moment, totally unmatched this season, not just at this event. To Sebastian Vettel, the BBC played their own edit of past 'back-to-back' World Champs (as shown to audiences in the UK); and when the camera came back to Vettel, it was clear that he was genuinely humbled by such a comparison with so many past 'greats'. He was genuinely emotional and kept thanking the BBC team.

    And that my friends, was a true 'Champagne moment'&#8230;
