Congratulations Sebastian Vettel!

Disappointed that Mark Webber didn't win. Had made multiple mistakes throughout the season that cost him valuable points, which in turn cost him the championship overall.

Red Bull FTW, literally

What? NASCAR too good for you European small penis car? Try stepping into the big boy racing and join NASCAR! WHOOOO!!

*Cracks open a can o' beer*

Pfft...you mean Nascar where the only corner a driver knows is left and the moment it rains the race is cancelled?

Anyways, a big congrats to Sebastian for winning this one! It was a freakin close championship race all the way to the end! While I still wished Hammie would have won...I'm sooooooo glad Alonso didn't. While he's an OK driver, someone with that piss poor sportsmanship (again demonstrated this past race by shaking his fist at Petrov for slowing him down) doesn't deserve that type of honor.

Now lets see what next year brings! There's at least 5 that have a chance at grabbing the title!! And if Kobayashi's car improves, he's going to be hell on wheels.

NASCAR... IndyCar...What is it? Only F1!

Yeah, but a fighter plane doesn't have to worry about smashing into a wall at the slightest mistake and can often have seconds if not minutes to recover from a maneuver that wasn't optional. They also tend not to race each other on a short closed track. If fighter planes flew continuously ten meters above the ground you may have some sort of point.

You kidding? A pilot can damage a plane by pulling the wrong maneuver. If you're doing mach 2.5 and you suddenly apply a full stick pull up in anything without FBW then you're gonna rip the wings off.
Many fighters are too weak to allow their full speed to be exploited at low altitude because the thickness of the air will damage them.
One of the reasons FBW was invented was so that pilots wouldn't accidentally cause permanent damage to their machines.
Pilots regularily fly so low that the slightest mistake means instant death with much less chance of survival.
Then there's the risk of spatial disorientation (which happens) confuse up with down and before you know it you never know what hit you - in the ongoing contest between the ground and small pointy metal objects moving incredibly fast the ground has yet to lose. Nor has the sea for that matter.
Things are worse for carrier pilots - there are EVEN MORE ways things could go wrong and even if you pull the perfect three-wire landing you're STILL stranded in the middle of the ocean with only hundreds of other men for company.
Even in peacetime there's still the risk of an enemy surprise attack turning you into marmalade and your jet into scrap.

But those are just the peacetime risks, what about war?
Well, obviously there's the risk of enemy missiles and guns. But there's also the risk of colliding with friendly or enemy aircraft.
Want to avoid that? Keep your radar on - but wait! Even the tiny A4 managed to navigate it's way round the radar-cone of the Mighty F14 in red-flag excercises to score kills on it, because radar is like a torch in the dark; it advertises your presence.
So switch your radar off? Your still a massive infra-red beacon (not even considering the implications of modern OLS') and if the enemy takes out your refuelling aircraft then you're gonna have to punch out over enemy territory. You immediately become a priority target for enemy forces.
Can you seriously claim being a pilot is LESS dangerous than driving a silly little car? Because I could come up with more reasons, but it would just be boring.

Pfft...you mean Nascar where the only corner a driver knows is left and the moment it rains the race is cancelled?

Thank you!
