Shame it didn't rain... Not the most exciting race of the season, but better than some of the others. Loved Alonso's pass on Button. Shame for Vettel, Webber for a change getting away good and getting in a position to take the win. See you all next year. Gonna be a long Summer :(

I wonder if RB gave mark the win? Sadly webber is far behind vettel it's scary. Glad he got a victory though. I kinda fell asleep sometimes after alonso's insane move what happened with hamilton?

We need ferrari and mclaren to bring it next year though and even mercedes. It's time force india did something as well.

Doubt it. To much tinfoil hattery for my liking. Hamilton's gear box failed while trying to get passed Massa. Some competition would be great :D

"Not this time you little f..ker" and a short while later when gear box gave up "Oh shiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttt" ?:p

Haha, I think he welcomed the gearbox problem. Didn't seem to upset about it, and he wasn't having a good race. That and at luckily they didn't end up loosing front wings and getting penalties :)

Sauber join Red Bull and Ferrari in exodus for F1 teams' association

(CNN) -- Sauber followed in the footsteps of Red Bull and Ferrari Thursday by becoming the third team in the last week to announce their withdrawal from the Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA).

The Swiss marque elected not to divulge their reasons for leaving the umbrella group, which was formed in 2008 to help teams during negotiations with the sport's governing body and F1's commercial rights holders.

"Last week the Sauber F1 Team declared its departure from the Formula One Teams' Association FOTA," read a statement from Sauber. "We have explained the reasons for the decision to FOTA."

At present, eight of the 12 teams on the grid are still in FOTA. Hispania left the organization at the end of their debut season in F1 in 2010.

Red Bull, who have claimed the constructors' title and drivers' championship through German Sebastian Vettel in each of the last two seasons, and Ferrari withdrew from FOTA due to disagreements over cost-cutting measures in the sport.

Despite leaving FOTA, both Red Bull and Ferrari have said they are committed to working within F1's Resource Restriction Agreement -- which aims to limit team's budgets.

Sauber, in their current form, have been competing in the elite division of motorsport since 2010, having been repurchased by current team principal Peter Sauber.

The team's Japanese driver Kamui Kobayashi finished the 2011 season 12th in the drivers' standings, while Mexico's Sergio Perez was 16th.

Sauber were seventh in the constructors' championship.
