2010 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Isn't this the first year in a loong time that the driver who wins race 1, doesn't win the championship?

Yes, the last time was 2005 Australian GP winner Giancarlo Fisichella that didn't win the championship. From 2006 up to 2009, all the first race winner becomes the World Champion.
