Mosley will be happy tonight.


Maybe not...





Maybe some more of this will cheer him up a little bit:

I would love to have seen his face at the end of that race!!

Toyota are cheats and they no doubt agreed to do what they did. How can he lose that easily on the last corner. The other Toyota probably backed off to make it look legit as that way they would of been consistant in their sudden slow down. The FIA can do what they like for all I care. I don't like to win by consipracy or in court rooms, but that was cheating at its best by McLaren and Toyota. Once a cheater always a cheater. I hope they take it off Lewis Hamilton. Congrats to Ferrari for the constructors title. No cheating there at least. Anyway I have had enough. All you go banter your stuff. I am taking a break. Can't stand this rubbish anymore. If there is justice then this result cannot stand.

Are we pissed off or what..? Poor little Ferrari girl

He can always try again next season (that's assuming McLaren are in the title battle in 2009).

Dude, relax. Really. One should not give so much importance to a sport. It's unhealthy. You worry me sometimes...

If Lewis Hamilton had won by like 5 points or something I wouldn't be as bitter. This the way it ended is hard to convince if it were legit. I feel sickened. The only way I am going to prevent any feeling terrible is too just take some time off. I know it is only a sport but I am too much into Ferrari. I am off...........................

Shrinks might help, too.

Brilliant!

It was a great championship and Massa has proven himself to be a top driver. He hasn't got the racing instinct but he has picked up his game this year and no one can fault him and his efforts.

This has been a great championship and definitely ranks in my top 5. The right guy won it and it was brilliant entertainment in the closing laps. Mcalren deserved at least one title this year after everything that has happened. Next year Ferrari will be hard to beat and BMW should hopefully have a car capable of giving Kubica a shot at the title and we cannot count out Renault with a pissed of Alonso!

I can't wait!

[onelapdown]

I don't know how high this championship ranks, but it's probably in my top 1.

ing AWESOME!!!

blah blah blah

Hehehe, I was thinking of your goodself when I was dancing my little jig round the living room

AKR is like this all the time. She'll get over it and be back to her Mclaren bashing, Lewis hating, Ron Dennis despising but passionate Ferrari loving self in no time!

[nikon133]

Mad max, it's racing..... don't u forget???? it's carma to Ferri team.. hehhehehehe I bet FIA is not happy. for sure! hehehhehehehe

Alonso, u can kiss Hammy's hand and bend ur knee.

Really, and if the FIA is unhappy like yoy claim, they can always change the result. Toyota are cheats just like McLaren. Must be cheaters day today. They all deserved to be penalised.

any respect i had for you has gone, grow the hell up will you acting like a spoilt kid

You said you could stand it as long as Ferrari won the WCC and they have but Lewis is the better driver.

It is because Lewis Hamilton won on the last corner. Had it not rained, had Lewis Hamilton stayed in 4th and stayed there and won from there I would of been ok with it. Clearly I am not and after the Toyota conceded his position on very much the last corner, I have been sickened.

I feel sad, sad, sad and sickened. I want to go home........................

Ciao.

Have a beer. Bud or something

McLaren hail 'special' Hamilton

By Simon Strang Sunday, November 2nd 2008, 21:27 GMT

McLaren sporting director Dave Ryan has hailed newly-crowned world champion Lewis Hamilton as 'special' after watching his driver clinch a dramatic title in an epic season finale in Brazil.

According to Ryan, who was team manager when Ayrton Senna and Mika Hakkinen both won back-to-back successes at both ends of the 1990, there is a lot more to come from Hamilton.

"This is really special," Ryan told ITV after witnessing Hamilton become the sport's youngest ever title holder. "I've really enjoyed every world championship I have been part of, but this is special. Lewis is fantastic.

"The guys on the team have done just a brilliant job this year, the factory has pushed so hard and it's all come together.

"This is only the beginning I think - the kid is magic. He was so special when he arrived and look what he has done. You couldn't write this. He is going to go a long way."

Hamilton won the championship by taking fifth position from Timo Glock on the final corner of the last lap, and Ryan said he couldn't remember a more dramatic and tense season finale.

"I've never experienced anything like it," he said. "We had it, we lost it for a minute there, and then it all came back in the last corner or two. It was just fantastic.

"It was out of our control, and when we thought it was gone we were just gutted. We thought not again, but, well, he's a bit special isn't he. He just did a great job and I'm speechless."

I think Dave Ryan, one of McLaren's longstanding Kiwi contingent, sums up how everybody involved with McLaren was feeling.

Also, in terms of McLaren's staff, the long-serving Steve Hallam is leaving the team to go to NASCAR, so it was nice to send him off with a title.

Thanks. Great stuff. It's good to see it again before FOM take it down.

[cap-dude]

I have to say, that I've come away happier than expected. Of course I wanted Massa to win badly, and I was having kittens after Vettel overtook Lewis. No joke, ones called Philip. =P

Firstly, I think congrats to Lewis. Since it was drives like Silverstone, and Hungary that won him this championship. I think I can hardly claim he didn't deserve it, but 1 point. Two years in a row now. Brilliant stuff.

But I can take one positive, and thats that people seem to respect Massa a lot more now, which is a huge positive for me. Since I started watching F1, it was his name that stood out for me, and despite critism and what not, and I always stuck by him, and its rewarding to know that he came clean in the end. Although people are saying he won't be there next year, I think I can guarantee otherwise. I mean, how many expected Lewis vs Kimi this year.
It's been two years in a row that Massa has generally done better. Okay, 2007 Kimi won, but who was leading Kimi up until Monza, where Massa's engine failed. Massa himself. I have no doubt that next year he can again out preform his team mate.
