Sunday, November 14th, 2010; History In The Making

Never before has it been so close at the last second in Formula One history between such a variety of men.   In total, four men, an Australian, an Englishman, a German and a Spaniard.  Sure, we have seen title's been decided at the last corner such as 2008 when Felipe Massa's team erupted in triumph for only 38 seconds later to end in tears as Lewis Hamilton gain a position and finished the race the title holder.  2010 is completely different. 

We have two previous title holder's and two title 'virgin's' going full throttle into the final race at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.  Quite literally too.  In the final five minutes of Q3, the lap times for all four contenders started tumbling in and just when you thought it couldn't be done, the previous lap record was broken.  The F10, RB6 and the MP4-25 seemed to almost break the sound barrier with the speed that they obtained.

Q3 provided us with just a little taste of what is to come tomorrow.  There was some grief, heartbreak, tribulations, triumphs and jubilation.  It is in my honest opinion that there is nothing that the pit walls could say to their respective driver's to stop them from pushing themselves and their cars above and beyond the limits.  

After Q3 was over, the four title contenders all provided some fantastic quotes to the surrounding media.

"It was a good qualifying for us, and we just need one more day in perfection."  - Alonso

"... It's not handed out yet. If it was a one-lap race maybe not so much but it's a two-hour race. Things change."  - Webber

"It couldn't be better,"  - Vettel
 

"I don't give a damn about any of those three. At the end of the day, I am still in it so I will give it a shot. They have a lot more to lose than I have," - Hamilton

On Sunday November 14th, if you have nothing better to do, take a seat in front of your television and watch history in the making.  What people are saying is going to turn into the best fight to the finish in Formula One history.
