Short of a catastrophic mechanical failure or one of his peer group taking on the role of an assassin......LH for victory :up:

I'll agree with that. :lol: I was SO hoping Massa would get the title. When Glock slowed down to let Hamilton pass I couldn't believe it! :o

Go Hamilton....

Lady luck once again...maybe they should have kept him on slicks instead of teh late stop for wet tyres.

anyway well done

AJ! 11-02-08 01:52 PM

Fair play lewis hamilton.

Finally a Brit is back on top :up: :up: :up:

WHAT A THRILLER!!!!

Why can't every race be like this?

I don't think letting him stay out on slicks would've been the better choice, although he was pretty lucky to get his 5th place.

I don't think he slowed so much down but didn't have much grip to accelerate with slicks in the wet.

so you didn't watch the race. How could he drive as fast as l.h and before last turn got overtaken? Pathetic trickery.

I have watched the race... Glock didn't stop for intermediates. In the second last lap he was 5 to 6 seconds slower than Hamilton.

Um because it was raining more on that part for the track by that time..

I don't think Glock lost his position on purpose, he gambled with the tire choice and couldn't pull it off. In the second last lap he was 5 to 6 seconds slower than L.H. and I don't think the lapping of the cars he had to do helped his lap times either.

XabbaRus 11-02-08 02:27 PM

I was all rady to throw in the towel but the last lap, I jumped up and down and scared my daughter....

I just hope there isn't any investgation for something minor.

Poetic justice for the unjust penalty he suffered earlier :yep:

(LH, that is)

OMG what a race :o :o :o :o !!!!

Talk about drama.....wewwww

Lewis finally is the deserved champion, kudos also to Massa who drove a fantastic race, even with the challenging conditions and with all the pressure on him.

But please Lewis spare us this all the next time, or you will kill a lot of fans through heartaches. It wouldn't amaze me if someone has died somewhere in the world because of this all, as it happens sometimes in soccer matches :doh:
