The most exciting nail biting conclusion to a season!! Congrats to Lewis!!

 

I have to say again that I was a huge Alonso fan until he cried like a baby when he was at McLaren. He cried foul yet he could not match Hamilton this year so all the b!tching & moaning was really the fact that Hamilton was the better driver than him. Thanks Timo!!!

I'm not an Alonso fan either but... you did notice that Fernando was driving a Renault and not a McLaren this season. You do know that it is estimated the Reno engine is between 40 and 60hp down on the silver cars? He's actually had an excellent year and made far less mistakes than Massa or Lewis.

slick, agreed, but who is Champion now?

 

Yes, Hamilton has a lot of 'growing up' to do and has made some really stupid mistakes this year, but the fact is that he (Alonso) winged like a girl and no matter what team or car he was driving, Lewis was still better.

 

Alonso did come back strongly the last 3 races so next season will be interesting!

Yes, Thank You Timo! Interesting to see how people have reacted.

Am a Ferrari fan and cannot stand Hamilton as a person.

 

But last night he showed serious maturity on those last laps.. Would have been so easy for him to go ballistic when Vettel passed him. And thats the diff from most of this season and certainly last season.. Now if he could just keep his mouth shut for 5 minutes

 

Thug said it best, both Massa and Hamilton deserved the WC, only one can win though..

 

Next year, slicks, stored energy, pass button, Alonso back on form.. whoo hoo, cant wait.. 5 months way too long to wait though!

PRAT!!!!

PRAT!!!!

Well done Lewis!! I'm a big Mclaren fan but feel sorry for Massa, think he is a nice guy.

Lets say Glock did move over for Lewis. What's the difference between that and Kimi moving over for Massa to let him take the win??

Sure they're not team mates, but the priciple is the same.

So Ferrari fans have nothing to bitch about.

 

Spare a thought for DC, he's allways been my man. What a stupid way to end your carreer.

[/quote']zeepee, the powers that be look very differently when a team decides to switch positions and when 2 teams collude to fix a result. After the Austria fiasco when Barrichello stopped on the line to wait for Schumacher, the FIA knew they couldn't stop teams switching positions (it's easy with pitstops, fuel loads etc) but they didn't want it to be so in your face - as Ferrari were doing. So it's kinda allowed as long as it looks like racing.

 

Back in the day, if the senior driver's car broke down, number 2 would often donate his ride to number 1.

 

Just for you. This is a painting I did of DC a few years ago for the other Coulthard fan.

 

 

BTW, who else appreciated the "jaw cam" from inside the cockpit?

Ja poor Barrichello, he was allways just a number at Ferrari while Schumi was there.

 

I'm not talking about the legal implications, just the priciple. If Kimi didnt pull over for Massa earlier the season, it would'nt have mattered if Lewis overtook Glock. It all evens out in the end.

Hey slick, Great painting!!!

 

You have some serious talent!!!

Again it is interesting to read so many negative comments about a driver no one on this forum has met. I guess the media can tell you what to think and you will believe it.

 

McLaren are lucky to have that championship even though Hamilton deserved it thoroughly. He has been the most penalised driver of the season, reminds me of M.Schumacher back in 1994 in the Benetton B194.

 

Unfortunately the ITV coverage is only in english with the twin twits Brundle and Allen trying to provide a show. Mr Mol over at RTL5, a dutch channel has his finger on the pulse.

He already noticed Glock was having problems on that last lap because the track was a lot wetter and the ambient temp had dropped 4 degrees. Thats enough to drop the track temp and the temp in the tyres to the point where the slick became an ice skate. Glock crossed the line nearly 10 sec after Hamilton so was really slow. If he could have gone faster he would have.

 

I'm really sad for Flippy Massa, he really worked hard this year and deserved the WDC but Ferrari cost him 20 points this season. He should have been champion in Singapore already but sadly thanks to the new Italian look ferrari, with reliability of an Alfa, they tossed it in the bin.

 

Alonso, what a prat. Could not even be happy for himself that he finished 2nd. Instead he was fixated on Hamilton being WDC. He's such a hole between legs. Now he is a real twat.

In 2005 he only win the WDC because McLaren through it away and the FIA screwed Ferari to give someone else a chance to win. they felt Schmacher winning all the time was bad for the sport to they did some match fixing with the rules.

In 2006 he deserved it but only won it because the F2006 was not up to scratch from day 1.

 

BTW, going to the races does not make you a fundi. If you want to be a fundi work for a technical supplier to one of the teams and get some inside tracks. then you will see the truth.
