Damn it, looking at the lap times he isn't making much of an impression on the 3 places he needs to make (low 1:14s). Hard to tell because he might be a bit fatter on fuel. 33s in 22 laps he has to make up. Only hope - retirements and everyone else has to use the option tyres yet. ABA rules now apply to the WC. Annyone But Alonso

Boooooooo. The most boring world champion ever. For sure. Good race apart from the result.

Well its good Ferrari won, as McLaren used underhand tactics during the season to gain an upperhand over Ferrari.
The Finn is boring however, but he did the job in the end and a worthy winner.

Perhaps Maclaren will not sort out their team. If they were a team and not two individuals then they would of won. By fighting with each other they lost the team the championship which is teh worst thing they could of done

They lost due to a bit of bad luck, and at the last race with the idiot decision not to bring Hamilton in 3 laps earlier.
Also, arguably, had they gone down the Ferrari (Shumi/Barrichello) route of having a definite #1 and a supporting driver they'd have won it, though probably with Alonso.
At the end of the day the man with the most wins is world champion

I am not surprise he cocked it up/there was a problem. I wish I would have gone down the bookies and bet on Kimi now

shame about the engine as i think he's have won it if it wasn't for that. Great drive by the Ferrari's though. They got it tactically right from the start. Hamilton had a good race apart from his early blip and he just didn't have enough time in the end. I think Mclaren made a mistake with the 3 stops for Hamilton as well. Oh well not to be for the second time this weekend. At least we finally have a British driver that looks very good though. It's long time since we last said that.

That's the first GP i've watched for ages. WFT is with so many adverts! As someone mentioned earlier, the defining part of the race happened during the commercial break!!
I miss Murray Walker as well! :evil:

To a lesser extent I also watched Damon Hill a bit but not as avidly.

The Damon Hill days were great. Too young to remember the Mansell and Senna era really. This season has been good though. I'm always busy with my band on Sundays so i haven't seen much of it but today was a good race. Much better than it has been for a while especially now Shuie has gone.
