    Just give it a rest. Here are a couple things Timo Glock did not do:

    He did not ram into the back of Kimi in Montreal

    He did not overcook a couple Ferrari engines

    He did not cause a pitstop screwup in Singapore

    He did not de-motivate Kimi for half the season

    I'm sorry for all the disappointed Massa fans--he gave it a noble effort and showed true sportsmanship in defeat. It was a close race to the championship--very exciting--but stop already with the "It's Glock's fault!" rhetoric. It isn't Glock's fault, and harping on it looks ridiculous. I was pulling for Massa at the end, but it was exciting regardless. Ferrari are as much or more to blame as anyone for missing the Driver's Title.

    Massa and Ferrari should not have put themselve in a situation that "help" is needed in order for them to win the WDC. Needless to say, as a Tifosi, I would have liked to see Massa win the title, but it was clear that Hamilton and McLaren were the best driver-team combination this year and he won the title fair and square.

    Let's just move on and hopefully Massa will continue to improve in 2009 and either him or Kimi will win the 2009 title and the 2009 WCC for Ferrari again as well.

    i don't think and i won't blame Glock for it. to be honest, it's all Ferrari's fault. bad rainy decisions, bad pitstops, etc. they shot themselves in the foot.

    I'm sayin.

    I understand that it is the opionon of some herer that Timo gave the title to Lou... To those people, I think you're wrong. He was on worn out dry tires in the rain. That aside... maybe if our team hadn't had some of the issues we did, it wouldn't have mattered.

    Well said.

    I am a Lewis fan, but my heart goes out to Massa.

    Glock was on dry tires on a wet track. It was inevitable that he slip and lose ground, it was just more dramatic when he slid on the last turn and affected the driver's points so close to the end of the race. If he had pulled in and changed tires like everyone else, Lewis would have been one more spot ahead the last few laps and Massa wouldn't have had even the slight chance of winning the championship that occured.

    I'm sad Massa didn't win, but Ferrari made a few too many mistakes when compared to McLaren this year. We'll get 'em next year!

    Have got to agree, glock didnt have to much to do with all the ferrari cock ups.

    Annoyed i am with him, but he shouldnt have been the decider in the end.
