Do you really think that the toyota car is as fast as the Bmw car?

They were using the same tires BUT NOT THE SAME CAR!

Although I was delighted that Hami won the WDC title, I will say that Massa drove a brilliant race. He did everything he could from pole to finish to try and capture the title. He is the Daddy of Interlagos. What a great season for F1 fans. I can't wait till 2009!!!

Looking, I'm not here to say that has a conspiration, but I can make some questions about. I know that BMW and TOYOTA is not the same car, but the times the last lap the booth TOYOTA is verty stranger. They was very slow (1:44). But it's ok, doesn't matter now. Next yeat We will be champion.

Next year will be a great season. Vettel and Massa are vastly improved. Hami has matured. Alonso is rapidly developing the Renault. If BMW can give Robert a car, he will also be in the mix. I think 4 drivers I mentioned, possibly 5 will battle for the title next year. There's been talk about changing the points scoring in 2009.

Alonso is the top scorer of the last 8 races. If the season had started in Hungary, he'd be leading the championship. Here's to hoping he a)stays at Renault and b)Renault stays on top next year, cause Donkey already brought his 6/10.

You are Da Man! At 00:44, I thought that was a lapped car. I didn't know that it was Timo because I was watching crappy standard definition (SD) coverage on Comcast. Now if I had HD Speed channel, I could have saved myself a lot of grief.

I love the commentary where they say "Glock can tip toe around the last lap and get the job done." Little did he know, he was wearing ice skates. This is exactly why I was bummed. I did not believe there was enough time for Hami to make up in the last lap, let alone the last quarter mile.

All rhetoric aside, this was the best title decider I've seen. He didn't win the title just on Sunday, but Hamilton is ONE LUCKY DOG!
