Formula One 2010: And the show goes on...
If you think the 2010 Formula One season has reached its end, you are wrong! It is just the beginning… of another big dose of thrill, adventure, awe and suspense.
A great season has finally reached its climax. The way it has evolved right from the start is unbelievable. Every round has brought forward more uncertainty and aspirations and now it is time to see the end product of all that kept boiling throughout the
year.
The top five racers of the season stand just at a difference of twenty five points from each other, the probability for each to win the championship just seems the same. After every hot and sizzling episode of the season, the contention has taken a new shape
and now the gladiators head for the last and final four arenas. 
This kind of warfare is witnessed in decades. Last time such an intense contention was seen in 1981 when the quintet drives of the season stood head to head with just a difference of seven points. After a brutal battle, the world championship was snatched
by Nélson Piquet. 
This season has also brought forward some amazingly awe-inspiring and nerve tickling rounds and results. The season did not go short of supplying great racing spectacles and a lot of action on the tracks. There were accidents-luckily minor, team conflicts
and controversies, joining and parting, love tales and all that any fun-filled season could possibly offer. 
The first race of the season saw Ferrari in great pace and form as they claimed one-two finish at the season opener in Bahrain. However, after this bright beginning the team went behind shadows as they were not able to bring a competitive car on the track. 
The second race of 2010 in Australia brought the title defender, Jenson Button as winner while Renault’s Robert Kubica followed him in second place. The pace set by McLaren didn't continue in the third race as at the Malaysian Grand Prix, Red Bull dominated
the track, giving their first one two finish. The first three rounds saw three teams conquering the charts. 
Moreover, at the following round in China, McLaren came forward again as Button claimed his second race win of the season while his team mate, Lewis Hamilton stood second on the podium. Mercedes and Ferrari chased them. 
The Red Bull's other driver, Mark Webber grabbed his first win this year in Spain and then the second at the next round in Monaco. With these two consecutive wins, they became the strongest team of the season as the first six races unwrapped. 
At Turkish Grand Prix, the rivalry of the two Red Bull drivers gave another one two finish to the McLaren, as Webber and Vettel crashed into each other in chase of first position. The same finish for the British team repeated itself in the next round at
Montréal, thus bringing McLaren to the top of Constructor’s Championship, while Red Bull slipped to second place.
In the following two races in Spain and Great Britain, it seemed evident that the combat of the season is between the two couples of Red Bull and McLaren.
The German Grand Prix brought yet another twist as the two Ferrari drivers pushed the top four men aside to claim a one two finish for the team. Despite their controversial finish, due to team ordering, Ferrari kept proving themself to be a big threat for
their rivals.
From here onwards, the fight shifted to five drivers and three teams, all equally hazardous and determined. Recently, Alonso emerged as the strongest competitor bagging victory in three out of the last five races, though Webber still tops the chart.
The most timid of the drivers in the last few races turned out to be Hamilton who has walked out in three out of the last four rounds.
The next race is scheduled to take place in Japan next weekend. All the upcoming four rounds are expected to be equally nerve tickling and nail biting as the teams as well as drivers are adamant to keep on fighting till they see the chequered flag in Abu
Dhabi, where the season's last race would take place.
