Bruno, did you need to do that? We have seen the best finish of a f1 championship and years, and you come here to @#$%& it up?

What a race
But pic of the race is this one

It's a good thing that Massa' dad didnt have a heart attack. Seriouly, this was dangerous.

Exactly the same here!

I'm glad I can finally cheer again after 10 years of losing :P :D

Yes, Lewis is a great world champ, youngest ever too. Quite an achievment.

Totally agree with you Sapo.

Thanks GP3Hotlaps

1st time my heart has pounded like that in years.

Well done Lewis and hats off to massa done everything he could.

same here Marc, heart pounding for the last few laps when it started to rain.

well done to Lewis, just about managed it, a bit like Schumacher in '03 when he just managed to get the point he needed at Suzuka.

fair play to Massa too. although Lewis had a few penalties through the year robing him of points, Massa lost 2 sure wins in Hungary and Singapore.

Except he had a cushion in that if Barrichello won (which he always looked like doing once Montoya retired early on) he was automatically the WDC anyway. Nowhere near as much pressure as there was today.

The most dramatic finish to a race EVER! I think Felipe did everything he could, and really, it wasn´t his fault. He drove a fantastic race. He could have won. But still, I´ll support Hamilton. Expect a date between Lewis and his fans at Woking High Street in the near future.

Oh no, it will be a big fat top down double decker bus in central london with the queeeen giving him knighthood :p

Well congratulations to Lewis. I felt really bad for Felipe, he gave out everything he had, but even then, it wasn't enough. You just had to look at Felipe's face and you'd see how he felt

I also agree to those here, who said that Lewis doesn't really deserve the title. I did a little math and there you can clearly see, that Lewis won this title due technical problems of Massa.

This shows what amount of points drivers would get, if they didn't had their technical problems, which weren't their fault.
Felipe
1.1 (Minimal amount of points which Massa could earn without engine faliture )
2.0
3.10
4.8
5.10
6.6
7.4
8.8(If Kimi hadn't got problems with exhaust)
9.0
10.6
11.10(If he finished)
12.10
13.6(Lewis doesn't get his penalty and Kimi finishes)
14.3
15.10(Win, if there wouldn't be Ferrari's stupid pit stop system)
16.2
17.6(Real points finish without Kimi's help)
18.10
=110

Lewis
1.10
2.4
3.0
4.6
5.8
6.10
7.0
8.0
9.10
10.10
11.3(If Massa finishes)
12.8
13.10(Lewis doesn't get his penalty and Kimi finishes)
14.2
15.5(Massa wins, if there wouldn't be Ferrari's stupid pit stop system)
16.0
17.10
18.4
=106
In this way Massa would get championship title, but it's only if there wouldn't be any technical problems for these drivers.

Even then, really close championship with even closer final GP.

you forgot to consider the deserved Valencia Drive through.

For what? He stayed close to Sutil, but there wasn't any kind of contact, also, the first thing that caused this close exit was Ferrari's pit stop system, so, really, if there'd be some kind of punishment, it should go for team itself, not for the driver, eventually Massa allowed him to go out first. And even if there'd been a penalty, I guess with points in China and France, he would still win.

I dont care. They should've followed the rules and penalised him with a Drive Through. They did it @ Singapore again and this time he got the DT.
