    Make it Truli/Glock/ Sucks then since their lap times on the last lap were the near the same. Way off the pace.

    Great drive by Massa. It was a fantastic race ... I chewed my finger nails to bone. Too bad about the last corner. :)

    Yeah but at least Glock could have spun out in front of Hamilton on the final corner... but if Glock was a good driver, he would have over-come the problem and stayed in his position without whimpering out like he did.

    Right again!

    I couldn't sit anymore. I didn't dare to look anymore. I was close to delirium tremens. :)

    Comparable to the announcement of the OJ verdict.

    I thought my ticker was going to give up at the end of the race :eek: I am very glad to see Hamilton win the WDC but Massa would have been just as worthy champion. Heres to some great racing next year! :)

    I feel really gutted.




    Massa did everything he could to win the WDC today, and aside from his performance at Silverstone in the wet, I think the team really let him down with those pit stop mistakes. He drove an inspired, clean race today and I really wish we could call him World Champion. Kimi has been a disappointment for most of the season, as if his desire to win was satisfied last year and he looked very complacent much of the season.

    Good job by my boy Fernando finishing second. He looked very composed in the wet and dry. I PRAY PRAY PRAY that Fernando stays at Renault for next year. He has turned that car into a consistent winner and podium finisher, and I think Renault's progress with the car puts them in good contention for next year. I just got off the phone with my friend/former high school history teacher and he said that it is likely that Fernando is going to Honda next year, and the announcement should be in the next day or so. I think that is a major mistake, even with Ross Brawn at Honda, since I belive that if Fernando stays at Renault, he will be in contention for the WDC next year.

    Vettel drove a great race, and he is the sort of driver that I can really cheer for. I celebrated him passing Hammy with 3 to go and he drove so well, if he makes it to a top team, he will be the next German ace.

    Hammy, enjoy the world drivers championship. I don't think he deserves it, and I think he did blow it by letting Vettel past the way he did but for some divine intervention in the form of Timo Glock, who will be knighted by the Queen later this week. Massa made his mistakes on the track but more than made up for them with his driving. Even with the penalty in Spa, which I think Hammy did deserve, he was able to win the WDC, but with all the errors that he made during the course of the season, I just can't think of him as WDC material. The off-season for me will comprise having to see that **** eating grin on every F1 related site and media. I just can't stand that kid. He's a fast driver but a phony personality. There's no other way to say it.

    Although I do think it's funny that for the past two years, http://en.f1-live.com/ has shown Fernando in the McLaren with the number 1 on the nose.

    I'm breaking out the scalextric set with the Renaults and Ferraris for my own 18 race season starting next weekend.

    Now Ferrari can sack Massa, and not even feel a wee bit sorry about it.

    Alonso and Vettel for Ferrari in 2009 :cool:

    Exactly!
    I have never been more disappointed in the finish of a race. Absolutely pathetic outcome.

    I guess you were getting a drink or bathroom break, he was on full dries and the guys on intermediates including hamilton were breaking the tires free. Everyone at our viewing party knew he was on drys and it would be close as we were watching the times too.

    If he had come in for intermediates it would not have been so dramatic as Lewis would have been in front of him already.

    Not as much as they paid Kimi to get out of Massa's way in the last race. And Kimi admitted he let him by.
