    I just want these rumors of rioting to go away. I really dont want this to end in a negative light. Have you heard some of the crazy things being said?

    Robert Kubica said there were signs from the fans asking him to run into Lewis.

    Dammit no i didnt hear about that. Thats fucking brazilians for you lol. In the brazilian newspaper though they had interviews with Massa and he was absolutely clear that he wants a clean race and that if he loses he will try his best next year. Barrichello was asked if he would help out Massa. He said he would if he could but that its impossible, and that Massa would hate if anyone crashed into Hamilton on purpose. He definately doesnt want to win that way. If you could speak portuguese and listen to the way Massa talks you would know instantly that he is a good guy with a good heart. So I hope the brazilian crowds understand him and act civilized lol.

    I am hoping for a miracle and that Massa wins the championship. He definitely deserves it this year, but either way, I think Massa got 2009 in his pocket. Hamilton just doesnt have the maturity.

    GO MASSA

    I remember last year that it came down to a 3 way fight and Alonzo was my pick for the title. Alonzo sure helped the outcome but it was Hamilton's vice of fighting Alonzo that hurt him early. Even still that mechanical problem took Lewis out for good.

    Last years finish was the most extraordinary thing i have ever seen. I doubt it will ever happen again. Kimi was NOT supposed to win and he did. Massa is in that position this year except Lewis' teammate is more a team bitch than the furious rival Alonzo was and rightfully so. Big day starts tomarrow with qualifing. It might rain and maybe Hamilton will fail to get past Q2

    What an emotional roller coaster.

    Massa is a great man and a great driver. Senna would be proud.

    Lewis......You know that was yours to lose.

    But really, did you think we had a chance in hell for it to go down like that? I mean when they said i rain i said whatever. Only to start screaming at Vettle to make the pass when i knee the Toyotas didn't pit. Great season that ended on one of the greatest ever races. We wont forget this one for many years.

    I wonder when people will start bitching about Glock "giving" the championship to Hamilton?

    IMHO, it was a racing thing...strategy didn't pan out and they suffered because of it. Up to the last lap, they were saying how fast Timo was on the full slicks. Then the rains came...

    I'm proud of Lewis for not leaving the car till the wheel was back on it. With McLaren's luck, it would have been incredibaly stupid since that is a class A offence in F1.

    Besides that, even though he almost lost it, it was his championship. Glock was running his own race just like Trulli, Fisichela, and Vettle were running their own race. I dont see anything that could taint this.

    Last year we can remember the fuel issue with the Williams cars and McLarens propsed appeal but Ferrari dont have anything. Massa lost fair.

    Congrats Hamilton. The youngest ever champion.

    I'll make a wrap up thread tommarow.

    Thought this was interesting.

    Ferrari ambassador Michael Schumacher was at Portigual for the Superbike race instead of Brazil.

    Not racing obviously but Michael is looking more and more into two wheels. He does currently compete in the German national championship.

    it wasn't Glock.

    He had a 13 sec lead entering the last lap but wanted to pit with 1 to go. He knew the rain was worsening but the pit was closed. (From immenent mob of drivers/news/blah)

    If you rightfully want to blame someone, blame the rain that finally came.

    If you rightfully want to blame someone, blame the rain that finally came.
    It was the last lap, with only a few more turns to go for the finish. Seems like he could've kept on driving without even worrying about pitting. Yet he obviously let Hamilton go by, gaining a position. Sure, I can't put it all on Glock -- but he played a part.

    yes , normally that is what you'd think but the gamble was for the rain to stay away and it came hard with 2 to go. On the last lap Glock had a 13 sec lead over Lewis on a track that takes 1:12 to cover.

    Remember Heidfeld at Spa? He pitted at the end and drove around 6 cars to get on the podium. On top of that, Hamilton's tires were graining when he was passed by Vettle so Lewis lost eben more time to Glock. In the same shot when Lewis drives around Glock, you can see Glock getting on and off the power because it just kept spinning.
    It just wasn't meant to be.

    Hahaha....

    Who would have thought that Toyota would have so much to do with the outcome of the championship. LOL

    Toyota gambled and it almost worked. Glock was 2 corners away from going from 7th to 4th on that strategy.

    Oh, well. Congrats to Hamilton.
