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

[The Lemming Stomper]

You know nothing of F1 racing do you

Neither did the commentators then who said that Glock could just coast round the final lap

 

[DTES]

22 seconds turnaround in 1 lap..Those tyres must have resembled the ones on Fred Flintstones car

SAKE.

A Toyota on dry tyres
A McLaren on wet tyres
Rain

And it's suspicious that Hamilton overtook him? Really?!?!?!?

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

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!

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

He's no Damon Hill....

 

[Wozza]

FAIL

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Adlington was clear favourite untill now....

Who? Is that the lardy swimming lass? Should've had the salad luv

That's Brazil off the Glock family list of holiday destinations then

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.

Did himself, his family, his team AND HIS COUNTRY proud.

Somebody sent Satan to deliver the good news

 

[seagull_special]

bad case of premature adulation

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Amazing race and the correct result - if a little heart-stopping. Can I spare a word for the sportsmanship of Massa "I know how to win, and I know how to lose".

 

[Tooting Gull]

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.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Here's what I say to those at Ferrari... ahem....

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

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!!!
