Hamilton world champion

[vampireuk]

Who else pissed theirselves laughing at the Ferrari pit crew when during their celebrations they were told he had the championship? :rofl

A shame the fans from Brazil have no respect.

LOL,

Wow. What amazing drama! Winning a world championship on literally the last corner of a Grand Prix. I have no idea what the hell Glock was doing but I dont care :nana:. I feel sorry for Massa because he seems like such a genuinely nice guy - and in the post-race interview took the loss like a man (but I did find the celebrating then realisation funny ;)) - but this was justice for what I still think were harsh decisions against Hamilton this season.

Lewis Hamilton: British Formula 1 World Champion 2008 - makes me proud! :) Shame about Kovalainen's poor performances this season. A clean sweep with Constructor's Championship would have been nice too...

I have no idea what the hell Glock was doing but I dont care :nana:.

Glock was still on dry weather tires,took a chance that didn't pay off as the majority changed to wets and gained more than 12 seconds on him last lap during the heavy rain.

I think it did pay off for Glock. Wasn't he behind Kovy before he made the punt with dry tires. He finished just behind Hamilton.

Kovy is screwed - he has massively underperformed

When Hamilton started the last lap Glock was 15 seconds ahead of him but Lewis passed and finished 5 seconds infront . Glock finished 6th but he was 4th when the last lap started and loosing that much time and 2 places isnt exactly a payoff,he was dissapointed in that result plus the fact that some have hinted that he let Lewis pass him deliberatly.

If Glock had of pitted for wets he would of finished 7th. He was 20 seconds behind hamilton before the pit stops and 5 seconds behind by the end of the race. So his strategy worked well. In fact, staying on dry tires was the right thing do to. In hind site everyone should of done it.

He went faster on his last lap than Trulli (the only other driver on dry tires). So he didn't slow deliberatly. Its just impossible to drive on a wet track with dry tires.

I'm very happy for Kubica, 4th place in 2008 season is great results for him.

2006 16th place
2007 6th place
2008 4th place

closing the gap ;)
