Raikkonen - world champion by just a single point

[Ghostrider]

Alrite !! Finally....ICEMAN won !!

[Surferguy1978]

i watch the race and you can see alonso cut into hamilton lane in the first lap and causes hamilton to hit the brake. fierce leh.

[Fortress]

Another Tifosi

[Falc]

I recorded down that.

He saw a gap as Hamilton tries to fight back against Kimi. Opportunist, but nothing wrong as i see it.

[Carndablues]

I liked Ferrari when Michael Schumacher was RACING with them, I liked Renault when Alonso was RACING with them but up until this year, I hated McClaren because Kimi was DRIVING with them.

 

How many overtaking manouveurs has Kimi ever attempted in his career? You can probably count them on one hand....and still have a few fingers left over! The fact is, Kimi is a fast driver, on an empty track, he's probably number one. But when it comes to racing, if Kimi was in an inferior car, he would struggle. Could Kimi win a World Championship in a Renault?

 

Out of the top four, Kimi was the most undeserving. I'm glad that there is a new crop of racers coming up, from Hamilton to Kubica, Kovalainen, Rosberg, the Toro Rosso guy. Goodbye to the likes of Ralf Schumacher, Button, Barricello and before too long, hopefully Raikonnen who depend on their pit crews/strategy to get him ahead. Let's get back to pure racing!

[Madsumm]

realize something..?

 

All champions going to McLaren will end up.. not champions.. (Alonso..)

 

Like Kimi, with McLaren for years and suffered a great deal with unreliabilities in 2005-2006.. Most of the race he DOF.. i remembered the dramatic suspension failure at high speed on the last lap!

 

Now, in Ferrari, even though some reliability issues.. still got champion. And there is a distinct differece.. in the Reds... its team work..

 

In team work, one need to sacrifice for the other, when the clear advantage is to whom..

 

Notice another thing.. if McLaren is not penalized for the Spy Saga.. they would be 218.. and ferrari would be 208?...

 

So.. for years.. McLaren has been screwing themselves.. and still is..

Feel bad for Hamilton, maybe he will be champion, as long as he is not in McLaren driving a copy car of Ferrari.

Yes,

 

It would be interesting to see F1 next year as Traction Control will be taken away from all the cars.

 

It would require "REAL" driving skills from the drivers then...

 

BTW, a good driver would not be good without a good car.

 

Just look at Massa, he was like bottom of the pack when he was with Sauber, but after he joined Ferrari, he is within the top 4.

 

Kimi also finally got his champion on his debut seasion with Ferrari.

 

No wonder everyone wants to join them (Alonso as well)...

 

But have to admit McLaren has indeed improved the car since the past 2 seasons.

[Relagsingh]

yes.... more crashes next year all go slow slow... all kena overtake by safety car.

 

no need use CLK AMG DTM for safety car liao. use e-class can oledi. on top not flash light. use taxi sign

[Davidklt]

Hamilton was so close. He need not even finish first. A 6th position would do. But alas, he finished 7th, let done but a mechanical bug.

[Nolink]

Hami = Champion to be?

Massa = Team player

Alonso = Bad sport

Kimi =

[Fortress]

You are right...

 

Glad that the Red has finally gotten where they have started...Kimi is also known to be a car wrecker...but Ferrari seems to have built a tank that can run...and fast.

 

As for McLaren, seems to have been fair, but are they? Realistically possible...but glad Ron Dennis keep it that way and messing themselves up for every decade over the last generations of good/great drivers teaming....

[Nolink]

Yes. I am not for any team but more for the driver but car and luck do play their parts.

[Aimnfire]

ahem........thats goes the so called treble

 

looks like England wont be in the coming euro championship

 

only 1 week ago

pundits bet england to got treble

 

rugby to be champion

hami to be champion

england soccer to qualify for euro and hopefully be champion

 

now

rugby-out

hami-out

england soccer-........most probably cannot qualify

[Penthousepauper]

Although i support Lewis Hamilton, but like what the commentator said, the first corner of the race separated a team that works as a team than another which looks to be doesn't.

 

Can't wait for the next F1 season to come.

 

Hamilton was slow at the start and allowed Massa to cut into his lane. Soon, Kimi gained control of 2nd place. Very good strategy. Also, Alonso pushed Hamilton from inside turn and forced Hamilton to slow at the outer ring. At the end, I think it's a fair result for all.

[Vtim]

yah, congrads to Kimi, finally he is there fall asleep a while near the end of the race, by the time I woke up, Kimi was announce the winner

[Vtim]

actually its obvious tat massa let him thru.

 

i feel for massa

 

he's such a nice teammate

 

reminds me of barricello. actually i like all brazilian drivers.

 

i remember wat my friend told me when we were watching the race together (the moment when massa was falling further behind from kimi)....

"Massa doesnt wan to push not becos he cant, it's becos he knows kimi needs him to win the championship"

 

its Massa's homeground... i'm sure its the toughest decision of his life to let kimi thru.

agree with you totally, Massa is a real team player
