The article mentions 12 drivers, including 5 drivers who finished outside of the top 10, yet fails to mention that Kamui Kobayashi finished 9th after starting 16th on the grid to secure a 7th place in the constructors' championship ahead of Toro Rosso. I thought this website is called "Japan" Today. Why not mention how the Japanese driver performed?

Kamui not only drove well, but he secured two points for his team, ensuring they beat rivals Toro Rosso by a clear margin. Well done!

MacLaren's tyre/tire strategy helped get Jensen past Alonso into thrid place. Good season for Button.

I really hope Mr. Webber can step it up next year - his likely final season. He was trounced by Mr. Vettel this year - no shame in that as Vettel is "The New Schumacher"© - but he should have recorded a few more wins than just this consolation. I hope Mr.Kobayashi can somehow get himself into a decent car and challenge for podiums - he and Sato have done a lot to dispel that myth in some circles that Japanese can't physically handle F1. It's nonsense of course. Give the kiddie a Ferrari gig I say - he'd kill it!

No reason why Mark should not do better next year. Good luck to him!

And today we hear that Kimi Raikkonen has signed for two years with Lotus Renault. More ex-world champs mixing it up.

Looking forward to next season.
