Good on Hamilton for winning. If you have seen the race, Massa was way in front leaving the pack behind to battle it out. Hamilton has been 5th place most of the race, until the last few laps where the rain started puring again.

Hamilton pitted and came back 6th place behind Glock who didn’t pit. But Hamilton ended up catching Glock in the last corner. It was Toyota’s miscalculation on Hamilton’s potential speed in the wet that was their downfall.

I wonder if Hamilton is going back to Topgear to make the lap time in the dry. They should ask Massa too. hehehe

A great race, A great result. Good on Lewis, a well deserved title after all the mclaren/Ferrari/Alonso sh*t that went on last year.
Also, I will be watching vettel closely next year. He’s going to end up at Ferrari before Alonso judging by his recent form.
…and Ron, your work is now done, it’s time to go.

Cupid, what a load of crap. Massa did acknowledge hamiltons efforts, which considering the situation was fairly impressive. How is Massa or Ferrari sore losers? Ferrari won the constructors championship after all, and you can’t blame them for celebrating, Hamilton squeezed in 5th place on the last corner, and they’re in pit lane.

Talk about bad winners, even in victory you still want to play the ‘FIA is out to get Hamilton’ line. Grow up.

Ben Larden – remember two weeks ago when Raikkonnen let Massa pass to win the race to bump up his points, no penalties issued for that. Hypocritical comment there.

Well done Lewis Hamilton for wining fair and square. I absolutely loved the look on the faces of the Ferrari pit crew when they realised they had not won. Priceless!!!
It was raining harder than it appeared hence Glock slowed and Hamilton equipped with the right rubber nailed it.

Bad was the Brazillian crowd Boooing. Massa is a sore loser as are Ferrari, He did not even acknowledge Hamiltons efforts.

Ferrari eat your hearts out rigged in their favour and still didn’t win. The bung to Ecclstone wasn’t worth it.

I suppose hamilton already had it won before the rain came in, all it did was spice it up before a predictable end.. a bit like a hollywood movie don’t u recken haha. But in all honesty my heart sank when i saw hamilton pass glock, even though i knew deep down he was going to take out the title before this race even started… i was hoping massa would take the title because in reality this was probably going to be his only chance, next year kimi will find his groove and perhaps alonso and kubica having faster cars, as well as hamilton keen on going back to back. the competition will be stiff and i dont think massa will have it in him..

SUPERCUJO…yes Rossi rides bikes. I feel its about motors and the road and dont think 2 or 4 wheels makes a hoot; after all I have seen the odd 3 wheel writeup! The way I see it, if it involves a motor and wheels its fun….hell I got a ZX10R with 173RWHP and dry weight 165kgs. NOW THATS INSANE FUN x100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an addition to the Toyota and McLaren fixing the result, if Toyota really wanted Hamilton to win the WDC, they would have brought Glock in for wets like everyone else decided to do. Toyota took a punt in climbing the results and it didn’t pay off.

As Mark said, Ferrari lost this championship for Massa. Although Massa didn’t help himself too well at Silverstone.

dam i wanted massa to get the championship! the main reason is the fact that the british public are bad winners, also the whole season the commentary of the races has been a lewis love fest!!!!! i went to bed about 30 laps from the end as i knew this would happen. if massa did not have those 2 fuel stuff ups and the engine crap itself 3 laps from the end acouple of races ago then massa would have had it! massa did not loose the championship, his team lost it for him!
