Man what a race!!! Congrats to Felipe Massa for a great race but the real champion is Lewis Hamilton representing Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. It was an awesome season, can't wait for next year.

how do you figure??

Lets not forget about the little stunt the stewards pulled with the passing infraction they put on Hamilton earlier in the season.

Timo was on dry tires and it was raining, he had to slow down.

Yes - I hope that was in jest. Not a damn do Ferrari or Massa deserve this years championship, Ferrari lead a charmed life thanks to FIA incompetence!

BTW Glock lost it. You could not see that on the live feed. Some later footage shown after the race from another camera revealed all - his car stepped out & he was lucky to recover - that's all Lewis needed

thanks for posting the result in the title of your thread....i hadn't seen the race yet. Some people have Tivo and don't watch the race live. Something like "F1 results inside" would have been a better title for people that didn't want to learn about the results on accident.

Point taken but on an MB board what did you expect. It's all over the other Class forums including the off topic forum. If you want to watch delayed then cut yourself off from all forms of news, media etc including this forum Something people from your side of the pond don't usually have a problem with when it comes to world affairs.

BTW - the rest of the world don't know what Tivo is. I do because I lived in the States. Use a generic term on a global board.
