in a season signed by illegacy and favouritsms we gave a lesson of sport. The best team won. I can't explain my satisfaction, it's a feeling that i think i've never felt in these years of Formula 1!!

FORZA FERRARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raikkonen deserved this, he came close to winning the Championship on numerous occasions.


Although I am please he won rather than Alonso, he did not deserve this title at all

Massa deliberatly blocked and coraled Hamilton at the start which allowed Kimi past. Without this team work - Massa's action was an outside influence decinding what transpired after

but as I say, though not deserving, better him than mr blackmail


FM just gave LH some of his own medicine - all season long LH crossed in front of other drivers at the start. So, nothing to whine about here. Also, if LH was smart enough or experienced enough I should say (and McLaren and his dad had done a better job in preparing him for this race) he would have let it go and settle as 4th or whatever during the first lap and should have driven it home. But he didn't and that's why KR deserves this title very much so - most wins in the season, so makes sense.


No mate, Hamilton preserved his position by blocking as invented by the famous FERRARI driver Schumacher - they dont call it the Schumacher chop for nothing

Right or wrong Schu did it for years

But no what Massa did was not to block to preserve his position, rather he was part of a corralling maneuver. This was a planned action by TWO drivers and nothing like what Hamilton did at all.


I'm fully aware of MS believe me.
Um, your interpretation of FM's motivation in his starting procedure is exactly that: interpretation, inference, not based in fact or knowledge.


it was as plain as the nose on your face - as they say - if it looks like s***, feels like s*** and smells like s***, then it probably is s***

yeah the better of the bad options won - although dissapointed, it is nothing like how I would have felt if the Spaniard had won.

And though I think Ferrari cheated the win in the race, I dont want ANY kind of penalty against them as that would hand the title to Alonso.


or the FIA check every car &m find a ilegal thing in the kubica & Roseber & heidfeld car...then i'd love that!!


No that would just make the title more contraversial, time to move on I guess. My only hope is that Alonso is now kicked out of team McLaren and ends up with Renault next season and has back markers running up his arse!

It was quite funny when Brundle commented about Flavio giving Fisi "a big slap". :D

It's funny if you think about it. McLaren became so obsessed with driver equality, that the inevitable happened.

It was always going to come back and bite them.

Their drivers were so equal, they both finished on 109 points. The problem was that Kimi finished on 110. 8)

If Alonso stays at McLaren next year, how do they decide who gets which number on the car? I don't suppose it matters, they'll be driving 22 and 23...

You are forgetting McLaren are this year's constructors' championship winners, however, I'm happy for Raikkonen. He was maybe not the best driver this season and not at his best all the time, but he picked up the pace when he needed to and should have at least one title before this.

This is your opinion and I respect that, but don't make it sound as if it was fact or the truth - Ferrari won the WCC, not McLaren. And KR is the best driver based on points and number of race wins this season.

as I have said before, Ferrari did not win the WCC they were given it by the FIA

Even this formulation is different from saying McLaren won the WCC - they didn't and you guys should get over it.
