Could the McLaren team please stay off the track whilst Massa does his lap of honour

Bloody hell, can no-one be happy that ENGLAND actually WON something??

You'd think he lost it by the reaction of some people on here!

In fairness to Glock the commentators did say that the rain didnt come down hard enough andthat perhaps him taking the chance on finishing on dry tyres would work. They were pleading for the rain to belt down and it didnt appear to be happening but none the less well done to Lewis.

On the lap before, Glock did a 1.28, Hamilton was 1.19, and he was 15 seconds behind. With the rain getting heavier by the second, it's hardly surprising he caught/past him.

Nope I do as well. Unfortunately the smug bastard will undoubtedly win the joke that is sports personality as well now instead of the many athletes who worked hard to get to the top of their sport, as opposed to being put to the forefront because they are marketable and showed young promise.

Think I might be in the minority there though - and can't doubt he's a great driver!

Hamilton has been working hard since he was 11 and was signed by McClaren so I'd suggest he's worked just as hard as any athlete. Formula 1 drivers are as fit as athletes and nobody became the best in their sport just by being marketable, that's a bonus in Hamiton's case.

It did look very much like Glock pulled over if you watch it again, whatever tyres he was on. He had slowed up, but once Hamilton was past speeded up again and finished the race at 'normal speed'. Why would he do that? Who knows, it's F1, anything is possible.

I don't think we've heard the last of that from Brazil, and especially not from Ferrari. They love a good conspiracy theory against them, those Italians.
 






Found this elsewhere, thought it put things into prospective a bit:

Race Marshal in your pocket $250

Flashy red car $450,000

Max Moseley giving you the championship on a plate $250,000,000

Getting beaten by Lewis Hamilton at the last corner of the last race of the season and seeing your familys reaction in the garage - -

f***ing PRICELESS!!!
