Well done Kimi.

He's deserved to win the WDC in previous years, and this year it came to him.

Just as well they didn't give Alonso the wrong tyres instead of Hamilton, or it could be see as a deliberate attempt to push him down the order had a grid penalty been applied.

Just as well also that Alonso didn't have a mechanical failure, and a bad 3 stop strategy.

McLaren = x 1000

According to de la Rosa, your "mecanical failure" was due to Hamilton multiple off-track excursions. Too much dust in the air intaker warmed the hydraulic system and the gearbox was unusable along some seconds.

What a race! And what a season!! Easily the best season since I started watching F1 in the early 90's... And Raikonnen really deserves to be World Champion, he's always been very good and he's never put on airs or been a bastard. I'm happy for him actually, I thought he lost his chance after 2003 when he lost the championship to Schumi by two points. Then the abyssmal season of 2004, and then beaten soundly by Alonso in 2005 and 2006. It could easily have been so that he'd joined the crowd of drivers who should've won the DWC but never did.

Kimi

Pretty good race, Nico did all he could in the last 10 laps to screw Kimi over by taking out everyone. He was racing like a maniac for.. the 4th place. Wow, he was craaaazy...

Plus I think it's good for the sport. Räikkönen deserved to be the champ, he's been so close and has had some bad luck as well, so... it was his time. Hamilton was a rookie too so... it'll just make it more interesting for the next season, a rookie who almost took it all. It'll be a battle. Who knows, maybe BMW gets their crap together and actually can deliver a car for the next season.

Wouldn't mind having a third team fighting for the glory.

Kimi

I was scared when Rosberg tried to take Kubica out.

Hamilton threw it away in China, but could have salvaged it if he didn't throw it away again today. Hopefully he'll be more mature next season.

[Zoid]

Indeed. I'm excited already! But I must say that BMW performed quite well this season, they qualified good and raced good as well. Even if BMW never threatened McLaren or Ferrari they were up there, firmly rooted in the third place.

[Cort Haus]

If BMW can step up one more notch they'll be the third team genuinely competing next year.

I made a small F1 quiz over at Facebook. I'll see if I can migrate it here...

Multiple? I missed all of them apart from the one at the start.

I'd also like to mention the excellent news that Ferrari are designing the engines and chassis for A1GP as from next year.

I believe this is great news because I have found A1 to be a more entertaining series than F1 over the last couple of seasons, and its main problem is finding a profile. It still needs some TV deals that will reach more people, but this is a step in the right direction IMO.

If Force India F1 challenges for teh title next year (), I'll have to stop supporting Ferrari.

He went out once more. Some meters only, but that was the one where most dust came into the car.
