The sad thing is that the F1 boards have mow lit up with people
saying that Lewis isn't the champ becuse Glock 'cheated' and
'let' Lewis pass him!
I rewound the last five laps and watched them again and I was
still screaming at the telly even tho I knew the result.

Congratulations to Lewis (and fans which I am not). Awesome achievement in his second year. I was cheering on Vettel and Glock, a shame Glock could not keep his times lower half a lap longer, but well done to him for as long as he did manage. If Toyota get their act together for next year, surely he will be a challenger as well.
Roll on next year, I hope Kimi gets his mojo back with the help of some practice mileage this winter to get the car to his liking

Well done Lewis and also hats off to Massa for playing his part ....I thought his after-race comments were a testament to the guy considering he'd had it snatched away from him in such dramatic fashion.
And did anyone else enjoy seeing the euphoria on the Ferrari crew's face turn to despair.....tough shit Ferrari...you've got a great driver in Massa but dodgy decisions by the FIA were what stopped this championship being over before today!
'Nuff said....the right guy won the Championship!

I lost faith in F1 halfway through the season because all of the stupid
decisions. That race was well worth a watch tho, great drama!
I can;t say I'm a Hamilton 'fan'. I dont lke or dislike him but I am
pleased for him and it's a great rags to riches story. I can't help
but feel sorry for Massa tho. How could you not feel for him standing
on top of the podium winner of his home GP and choking back the tears.
I hope he has a good title run again next year.
Raikkonen... wtf was wrong with him this year? He really didn't get
on with that car did he! I agree.. lots of milage for him on the off season
to get a car that he can work with next year. Possibly some 'driving in
the rain' lessons as well. He seemed to have totally lost his wet weather
setting this season!
Did you notic that he actually has the most 'fastest lap' this year? Usually
he was waking up in the last quarter of the race and banging in a stunning
lap! Why wasn't he doing that every lap? Perhaps he has just lost his
hunger?
I'm going to follow F1 next year but to be honest not as avidly or
energetically as this year. I've lost faith. I'll be tuning into the touring
cars more next year I think.
Sorry.. nothing on telly and waffling...
*gets coat*

hamilton deserved that win. As for Räikonen, well, its seems like he started racing when hald the gp was over. Feel bad for Massa, as he haven't made so much bad mistakes as last year. But feel better for Hamilton as he is a new Shumacher in the making
