IMHO after all the rubbish situation in McLaren, this was probably the most fair outcome possible.

Lewis & Alonso, neither of them deserved this year's title as neither played completely clean with the other. Dennis didn't help much and was too arrogant, he thought he could mantain well his policy of two 1st drivers of the past, neglecting that one of this year's drivers was a rookie, and it was finally a rookie error what made Lewis lose the title. How sad Ron must be now, and how stupid he must feel.

Kimi: What can be said about him? Probably the most talented and fastest of all, in his heydays nobody can come close, no matter if he drives a Ferrari or a McLaren. A well deserved champion, never involved in polemics and silent but quietly hammering his title with wins.

I have been a Kimi (And in general of finish drivers) fan since long, and I am very happy that his share of bad luck has ended. Also, I love to see that a driver with a somehow bad-guy attitude, a party goer and smoker makes raw talent suceed in an era of athletes and drivers nursened to be champions from the most early ages.

A wellcomed breath of fresh air into F1

CONGRATS CHAMPION

Um I'd have to say that had Hamilton had won it he would have deserved it and he played more fair than Alonso. Didn't hear Hamilton go off to the press when he wasn't happy.

As for the Rookie error, yep trying to regain position on Alonso when he didn't have to was silly, but his engine would probably have still gone ga ga. It was that which did him in. See his drive back up the grid to see how it could have ended had his engine not gone ga ga.

Syaing that the day is done and Kimi won which I feel he did deserve to.

I'm glad Kimi won over Alonso, but what the heck does it take to make him crack a smile?

It'd have been good to see Hamilton win, but I think he was too eager to beat Alonso at the start. If he hadn't gone off the track he might have survived his engine troubles and won the championship.

Really 3 jerkoffs these boys, but relatively glad Raikkonen won.

Hamilton: Personally dont need another Tiger woods type.

Alonso: Good thing this prima donna lost.

Anyway, when I want to watch F1 (not often), I play FIA season reviews 1967 until 1996 and 2000 (first Shumi). 90 minutes exactly packs all the 'action' of a whole F1 season. All else I consider a waste of time in this respect.

That must be it, he smiled last year in Interlagos.

Kimi Raikkonen tells the world of his waste depositing exercise during the presentations by Pele to Michael Schumacher.



But his attitude is very common in Finland, very reserved att all times except when we start to drink. Anyone remember when Räikkönen waved his penis in a strip bar?

Uhhh looks like it might be not yet over

FIA is currently investigating three cars (2 BMW and 1 williams) because of apparent minimum fuel temperature matters and Lewis could get the championship in the end. *Sigh* if they hand the championship to a guy wo is running on a cheating car (With illegally obtained Ferrari info) using an excuse that three guys had cheated when finishing in fron of him, now that will be really the end. Ridicuolus.

No need for that. The british press already went hunting witches by its own (As usual) and daddy Hamilton, Dennis and Ecclestone ensured well the FIA ruled out always in benefot of the golden boy. I'm not questioning his talent, it's obvious he is very fast (Probably faster than Alonso) but it is also obvious everybody in the business wants him to win, and for business reasons.
