The final race of the season was at a sensational new circuit with some very expensive facilities. At the time of writing the British GP has not been confirmed, and the Abu Dhabi circuit shows the level of competition from the newer venues! It was 1-2 for Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber after Lewis Hamilton dropped out following brake problems. World Champion Jenson Button was third, and he had a great battle with Webber in the last few laps of the race.

Although Jenson Button was pleased with one point, Sebastian Vettel kept his title chances alive by winning convincingly on one of the best and most demanding circuits. Vettel now is only sixteen points behind Button with twenty on offer in the remaining two races. Button could have clinched the title in Japan, but will now have to wait for Brazil – where his team-mate is strong – or even the last race of the year!

The story of the Singapore race is that Lewis Hamilton claimed his second win of the Formula 1 season in style, while Sebastian Vettel handed his Brawn title rivals a boost by making a couple of errors, one of which resulted in a drive-through penalty. Jenson Button can now win the championship in Japan.

The worship this morning at Leicester Central Corps featured the General’s Call to Prayer for Peace, and the Bible message focussed on the way peace can be achieved in our relationships by following the teaching and example of Jesus. Click here for the Bible message and here for the special announcement about our vision for now and the future.
Last Sunday I was not well (Marta had given me the 24 hour bug she had on the Thursday) so she led the evening worship meeting and gave my Bible message, which you can read by clicking here. The Bible reading is Luke 10:25-37 in Today’s New International Version.

It was good to see Jenson Button back on the podium (his first in six races) and a Brawn GP one-two finish. Lewis Hamilton should have been third, but he crashed on the last lap trying (rather foolishly imho) to catch Button. Button’s lead in the championship has now been cut to 14 with 4 races to go in the season.

Spa-Francorchamps is one of my favourite circuits on the F1 calendar, and there’s usually drama! 2009 was no exception, with a big incident on the first lap taking out Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen won the race, but the Force India of Giancarlo Fisichella was a very close second, and it was only the KERS system fitted to the Ferrari that made the difference. Kimi lined up Fisi and it was like candy out of a baby’s mouth!
