Fine, no problem, but some of us love it & tonight we have a British champ to celebrate. I for one think F1 is getting better & better but then again I have some close links to the Ferrari team and cant wait until they ring from Marrenello on Tuesday when they get back & when they recover so I can gloat

TBH I thought he'd blown it going into the final lap. It looked like Glock was pulling away after he overtook him. But going into the final corner onto the back straight I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A fantastic race.

BTW a little useless fact, its ironic that the last F1 season the BBC broadcast saw Damon Hill win the title in 1996. ITV have never seen a British title winner until today, their last race to be broadcast.

ITV have done a good job over the years, but I won't be missing the adverts mid race.

Bring on BBC HD. Think James Allan & Martin Brundle should do a swap as well, both excellent.

1. Hamilton and McLaren switched to intermediates when the rain came down
2. Glock didn't

Who are the biggest idiots of the day? Yes. you guessed it, Rob_Wire and Mr Angry Pants

The other thing that has been missed is that glock was driving a car with a Ferari team engine and also that the team Principle is Gerhard Berger an ex-ferari driver.

I think you have more chance of platting snot than glock being told to slow down.

Made up to have a British champion

Glock drives for Toyota and they are not powered by Ferarri engines, they are powered by their own Toyota engines. Torro Rosso with Vettel and Bourdais are powered by Ferrari engines along with the Force India team.



Nobody has said that Gock didn`t switch to intermediates, i certainly didn`t anyway. If you bothered to read a thread in full you would see the points that were being made, Hamilton should never have got himself into the position he did was my main point, he should have comfortably have been able to get 3rd spot without having to take any risks at all. Both him and his team almost lost the world title when given the car they had and the back up it should never have got to that point.

Thankyou for missing my point entirely.

What exactly is your gripe with the first British F1 champion for 12 years, who was driving the second best car all year?

Any excuse for a moan, that's all it is. Congratulate the man and drop it

I love Moto GP and go the TT's quite often but just can't get into F1 at all. I'm not knocking Lewis at all who has( by all accounts) performed superbly all year, it's the format that does my head in. They should be allowed one pit stop each and that's that, having not watched F1 for a couple of years I got caught up in the Hype and gave it a go. All the drama surrounded endless pitstops and where people would end up after them and the 'racing' was secondary to that imo

Why do you Blame Hamilton for getting into the position he was in...? the team had to bring him in for the change of Tyres once the rain came down...

other wise he would have been the one left wheelspinning on the last turn like Glock (and his team mate Trulli for the conspiracy mongers). If he didnt change tyres yes it would have saved a pit stop but he could quite easily have put it in the wall racing to keep Glock behind him ....

I thought the team were over cautious but they got it right in the end.

What are your thoughts on Seb Loebs record breaking fifth title in the Rally..?

Ive watched Rally not quite as long as F1 but I wouldnt pay a cent to watch the current field of rally drivers.....this is truly a one driver championship
I'm amazed Hirvonen pushed him so close.

3rd in the championship Daniel Sordo...FFS he'd struggle to drive through bridge foot ...
Mcrae Makkinen Sainz Burns Kankkunen all world champs and racing each other seems like a lifetime ago....

Luckiest win ever but he deserved some after that shambles when he had those winning 12 points taken from him earlier in the season.

There is talk of him getting a knighthood now and that is just plain silly. If so people like Calzaghe, Phil Taylor and Carl Fogerty should also all get one.

No Knighthood yet IMO but easily the best driver over the year and thoroughly deserves the championship

If any motor sport driver/rider did get a knighthood then it would have to be Foggy, he IS a British legend.

Calzaghe no way, boxing is just poo.
