Here I am..Mr.Controversial!

I was pulling for Alonso if I am honest, but on reflection feel that Kimi and Ferrari deserved it much more as they have quietly got on with business below everyone's radar. Remember people said Kimi was not the driver that Ferrari should take on board due to his party animal reputation.

And also remember that it is Ferrari who were the victims in the Stepneygate affair as a disgruntled soon to be ex employer tried to f*ck them over.

Not been a bad year for all things fast,gloriously red and Italian has it? (I know Supervox will be along to second that shortly.)


Key points today.

What on earth was Lewis doing during those first few bends? He then continued to drive so raggardly and it appears disturbed some of the electronic equipment which saw his car's performance falter for several laps.

Where was the speed anyway from the McLarens today? Who had turned the wicks right down?

I have to say that the snail like pace that Massa left the pits after his last refuel stop was bordering on cheating for me tbh. He then continued to limp for the best part of his re entry lap which,(surprisingly?) saw Kimi glide on by to claim the win and the title.

Why not one single camera shot of Ron with headphones on viewing the monitors?

Quote of a lifetime just a short while ago....do you recall it?

"We were not concerned about Raikkonen, it was Alonso we needed to beat." RON DENNIS.

Dunno, I put it down to inexperience and buckling under pressure. He a chance and blew it by concentrating on his stupid games with Alonso instead of thinking about the bigger picture.

All he had to do was tuck in behind Alonso and follow him and Kimi Home and job done.

Though TBH, 2nd in your first year in F1 is not a shabby result. Wander whats going to happen over the winter off season, will Alonso still be at Mclaren next year ?

Fizz,

I openly accept that the shambolic situation at McLaren this season has clouded the fantastic season that Hamilton has had and in truth he deserved better than that.


Did you notice at the post race press conference Fernando thanked many people,(particularly the sponsors....he's smart guy) but nothing at all for the team? Bad blood that will not wash away too easy.

I FA wil leave to, either back to renault or he'll do a Prost and take a year off.

I think the shambles have added to the championship, its brought another dimension to it. I think its quite apt that Kimi has quietly got on with the job whilst Alonso and Hamilton have bickered and lost focus. I think lewis blew it in the last two races this year if he'd keep his head he'd have nailed it, but this experience will serve him well in the future I think.

crazy season this one was.. gutted for Hamilton, but as already mentioned, he didn't play the smart game. He'll be sitting in his caravan right about now nursing a bottle of scotch and thinking 'why the **** did i just do that..' - sets him up for a win next season though methinks. Can't wait to see who Alonso goes too for the next season. The Alonso/Hamilton battle will be even harsher when they aint driving for the same stable !!

Trouble is, with all the hype everyone's now seeing 2nd as a failure He mustbe gutted to miss out on the big prize, but what an achievement regardless... Hope he'll be able to see that (AND the media, who love to put people down as much as they love to build them up...)

Didn't turn out as I hoped it would but it certainly turned out exactly as I expected!

It all seemed to plop into place just perfectly for the people who control the sport....they won everything....again....
This is as corrupt as it gets folks! The F1 propaganda machine!

I will no longer be watching next season as I have much better ways to waste my Sunday afternoons! Like watching our pet locust eat its greens!

Never was the reserved nature of the British F1 fan displayed more than yesterday. Tele 5 is the channel that shows all of the races here and they had this great idea to have a film crew in Lewis's hometown,(Stevenage?) there they were in some boozer with just 2 people sat there watching the tele.

However over in Asturias, in Fernando's hometown the town square was packed with large screens erected for the occasion. You got to love the Spanish folks they really do get behind their motorsporting hero's.

Like I said.......the F1 propaganda machine rolls on!

In the UK the police would probably break up a gathering of more than 20 adults in the name of anti-terrorism! You would get a fine for unlicensed public broadcasting of televisual images. They would not procure a license for such an event unless their palms were well greased either. Welcome to the UK's way of doing things Pedrosa!

Why do you think so many English folk move to Espania?
