Well, sorry all, take it as biterness or whatever but i'm sure Glocks cheque is in the post after that. No 1 loses that much time in 1 or 2 laps, even on dries in the wet.
Anyway, I don't have much more to say on how it ended, it was a truely exciting race for the last 5 laps.
I believe that was Massas 1 chance, he's meant to be a 2nd gunner, not a world champ, he was just fortunate that Kimi wasn't in "the zone" this year. I'm gutted for Massa though, he deserved it this year.
Great race anyway, long wait until the season restarts.

I felt really gutted for Massa too after that. Happy Lewis has got a championship under his belt but it was a really cruel twist on Massa at the end.

OH. MY. GOD That was unbelievable I thought he'd lost it and Vettel would have been the culpurate (not saying it would of been his fault as he was simply racing) Best race ever? Massa' family celebrating then there faces when they seen Hamilton had overtaken Glock I think Massa will win the world championship next year personally Wow. hardly the best race ever and to say massa will come back from this is a bit silly. I feel really sorry for massa, no disrespect to lewis or anything like that but massa wont be up there again, simply because kimi wasn't in the " zone " if you will this year. Massa mounted a challenge, he isn't the flagship driver. So to say he will be up there two years in a row is stupid. I however think that vettel will be signed for, I knew of two vettel fans , the member on here and my dad and i slowly warmed to him over the season, have to admit now he is one to watch for the future |

What a race. When Vettel overtook Hamilton on the penultimate lap... it looked over. Then Glock made some sort of mistake (it may have been car related...) and Hamilton is back in and wins the championship! What a win. What a race.

Yeh it was not the best race ever but for pure tension and drama I'd say it would be close. There were a good solid 20 or so laps which were pretty uneventful in the middle but the end was just so tense and exciting I'm still buzzing from the adrenaline.
Race result:
Brazilian Grand Prix result (71 laps)
1. MASSA Ferrari
2. ALONSO Renault +13.2s
3. RAIKKONEN Ferrari +16.2s
4. VETTEL Toro Rosso +38.0s
5. HAMILTON McLaren +38.9s
6. GLOCK Toyota +44.3s
7. KOVALAINEN McLaren +55.0s
8. TRULLI Toyota +68.4s
9. WEBBER Red Bull +79.6s
10. HEIDFELD BMW +1 lap
11. KUBICA BMW + 1 lap
12. ROSBERG Williams + 1 lap
13. BUTTON Honda + 1 lap
14. BOURDAIS Toro Rosso +1 lap
15. BARRICHELLO Honda +1 lap
16. SUTIL Force India +2 laps
17. NAKAJIMA Williams +2 laps
18. FISICHELLA Force India +2 laps
R. PIQUET Renault +71 laps
R. COULTHARD Red Bull +71 laps
Unbelievable race.

Absolutely amazing stuff. That last 5 laps was breathtaking, it all happened so quickly.
I doubt in our lifetime, we will ever see the World Championship won on the last corner of the last lap of the last race of the season. Was absolutely top draw.

Let's take a moment to say what a great job ITV have done over the years, apparently Beeb are going to have a studio in London next season, so yeah ITV have been brilliant and I hope they get it back one day if Beeb suck balls at doing F1 which I think they will but can't judge them yet.
Anyway onto the fruity goodbye vid jam packed with epic moments over the last 10 years, damn thing made me miss Schumacher slightly:

Massa mounted a challenge, he isn't the flagship driver. So to say he will be up there two years in a row is stupid. That's pretty much what I said and fully agree. I think this was Massas only shot and that's what makes it so cruel. Lewis would have plenty more opportunities, but Massa will be demoted again I believe, unless of course Kimi doesn't get his head back into it, maybe he's happy to have done it once and is losing his "mojo". I hope not though as i'm a huge Kimi fan. Anyway, i'm not feeling so bitter today, still dissapointed but no longer convinced of a Glock conspiracy  I always thought Vettel would be 1 to watch, but he has been so awesome so soon. I could almost see Mclaren replacing Heiki with him, but then we would probly have another Hamilton/Alonso battel as I think Vettel wouldn't be able to hold back and just be a No.2 driver and I think Mclaren will be aware of that. |

Still gutted it's left ITV. It's so perfect for it. BBC will be rubbish with it's UK based low budget Studio with Coulthard. The theme song will probably be naff too. No more 'Lift Me Up' :-(
