If button's season was turned upside down, they'd be nobody questioning him as a worthy champ.

Bit of a shame it didn't go to the last race of the reason though

6 wins, 2 podiums and every other race he finished in the points with only one retirement all season. All this whilst driving for a team that didn't give team orders to help cushion his lead. Also we saw one of the most competitive seasons with a lot of great young drivers coming through the ranks. Is Button one of the best drivers to win the Championship?

They wouldn't be driving at full speed in the pit exit until after the tunnel where it becomes a flat straight.

Speed limit in the pit lanes innit.

Abu Dhabi looks like the perfect place for a F1 excessive and rich. Only thing is the weather is probably quite constant which removes the fun of the European races where tyre changes and those sort of tactics come into play.

there is only a speed limit in the pits not in the entrance and exit - the track looks amazing the bbc preview of the track looked so good. i disagree about all of these new GP's its just money for bernie but the track looks amazing, lets just hope the race is good
