Wow what a race. Emotional roller coaster. What an awesome finish! Congrats to Lewis and McLaren!

I dont think so.... Look what Hamilton did last year. I feel he has more left in his bag. He will win many more tittles.

Does anyone know when SPEED will re-run this race? SPEED's own promos said the race warmup would begin at 11:30am Central time, but of course they did not factor in the switch to Standard time... so I dutifully set my clock back one hour and missed the 1/2 hour warmup and the first 1/2 hour of the race. Drat! Stupid Speed Channel...

I almost started crying \when Vettel passed L.H and started driving away! then I did start crying in joy for the new WDC LEWIS HAMILTON!(i know i sound like a *****) The people on this forum who have raced and raced for championships wether it was at the local/national level get it. its so hard to win and this race just proves it. I get a little more emotional than most because i know what it takes to win all the yrs traveling around in a cargo van like gypsies to races, all the practicing, all the money!

but anyway i hope we get a GP back in the US soon!! maybe next yr I'll go to the brazil race(well maybe not, Mclaren fans don't look to welcome there!) i got goose bumps hearing all those fans cheering louder then the F1 cars!

I can sleep better tonight the Beavers kicked ASU's *** lastnight and L.H is WDC!

I actually thought Ferrari had pulled of another miracle. Vetel made a brilliant pass on Hamilton. I could not believe that Glock just let Hamilton through. It was very disturbing.

hakaida442

Glock did not let Hammy pass. He was out on regular tires and lost time due to the rain when everyone else were on intermediates.

tthoang1

Very true. Caution is the better part of valor. I was very worried that Hami had pitted for intermediates with only 5 laps to go even though it had started to pour. I initially thought that was a mistake for McLaren. When Lewis was passed, I almost turned the TV off. I was bummed. Then I heard the announcer say that Timo was still out on slicks. There was a glimmer of hope as it was the last lap but I didn't think there was enough time. But dread turned to astonishment as Timo went wide in the last turn, and the rest as they say is history.

IngenereAMG

Glock looked like he was doing just fine on the dry tires. Every time I saw the in-car from LH, he was all over the road. He couldn't even keep Vettel behind him.

As good a driver as LH is, I think Massa had the better season. LH was extremely lucky to have gotten the driver's championship. But sometimes it's better to be lucky......

tthoang1

Timo's telemetry showed he did the last lap (on slicks) in 1' 44" as he struggled for grip into the last uphill left hander and Lewis' lap time was 1' 25" on the intermediates. I thought that Lewis was king of the rain, but watch out for Vettel next season!

hakaida442

FIArrari fans need to get over it and stop making rumors about Glock gifting Hammy his position. Both Toyotas were out on regular tires and both had a horrible last lap time. If you saw the ITV coverage, Whitmarsh said that on the gps they could see Glock slowing up so bad it looked like he was headed backwards.

tthoang1

I am not sure Timo is to blame. Toyota decided not to bring him in for intermediates.

Stuttgart-UT

Glock was BEHIND lewis, before lewis came in to the box for rain tires...

so what should Glock do??

God punishes FIA-errari!!!

LEWIS HAMILTON has deserve it!!!
CONGRATS TO Vodafone-MCLaren-Mercedes

IN YOUR FACE!!!

Nola

Sure Timo is to blame... why couldn't he be 5 bloody seconds quicker on that lap, or at least use the racing line for the last corner? Trulli did the same lap time, but he was about a minute behind Glock and therefore had a longer drive under the hard rain. Truli is an idiot because he could not hold on to P2 or even staty in front of Lewis. The Toyota team are idiots because they had a nozzle problem with Glock that held him up some time. arguably the 5 seconds by which Lewis beat him.

It will take a while for my sour grapes to wear off!

MiamiAMG

Congrats to Lewis!!!!

A much deserved title!

hatem

Congrats to both Lewis & Massa. it was a graet race in every respect, except obviously that last corner with glock moving over.

IMO if mclaren didnt win that title Ron Dennis would have resigned.

On the other hand ferrari atleast got a title given their poor reliability.

For me the best driver of the season is clearly Vettel.

f1 took down all the vids they had rights over on youtube! ******!

Hi everybody,

If you guys remember, Kubica was the same tires the Glock and Trulli, so

I have one question. Why the Lap time the Kubica is much better the other

booth Toyota?? Maybe, because the Toyota Team put the engines with a less

rotation? I don't know, but this is very stranger. The next year Felipe Massa

will win the season.

Stuttgart-UT

the only idiot i see is you!


This is for you nola:

Stuttgart-UT

Have you ever heard something like "car setup" some cars handles better in rain condition than other cars...

Do you really think Glock don't want the 5. place? sure because you are a ferrari fan...


GO HAMILTON GO!

tthoang1

Does anyone have an animated gif of Hami with the WDC title? I'd like to throw it on my own website. I tried searching today but no luck. TIA

SeaCoupe

I am still floating. I was watching it last night at midnight. The potential for disaster was there. I felt it, just as I felt my own feet on the floor while I paced on the last laps.

I can watch that vid of Massa's family again and again. The FIAferrari just couldn't find anything to do to stop Hamilton.

Good chatting with all you this year.

Bravo Hamilton, Bravo.

I think you Ferrari/other team lovers in here, owe us McLaren fans a drink. Nola, you owe us two.

Hey Man, Do you wanna teach me about car?? I know more about car that you. Somebody here, tell that problem the Toyota car is because the tire, and I say that Kubica was the same tires. The booth was using the tires for sun and not for rain.

I'm not FERRARI Fan.

tthoang1

I don't think you can compare tires on Timo's car and that of Robert's car because Timo was on the lead lap, while Robert was entirely a lap behind. The time comparisons should be made with those cars that were on the lead lap and on intermediates versus Timo's car that was still on slicks. hakaida442 had the telemetry and it showed that Hami and Vettel were clearly faster on the intermediates in the final lap.
