Clearly you werent around for the Nou Camp in 99.
It was good granted, but formula one throws up excitement life that every 6 or 7 years, rest of the time it is just bland boring shite....

i was watching the feed on ITV.com and some mclaren guy just said to a cameraman "feck off you tosser, you cnut" lol
Clearly you haven't been watching much this season.
5-6 moments just like this in different races all year. This one was just ridiculous.
If Glock was so corrupt, why did he bother gambling on dry tyres which thrust him ahead of Hamilton until the final corner? At least think your conspiracy theories through!!!
It makes it all the better just how badly folk are taking it!
Hats off again to Massa, he's an extremely graceful loser, and he's an extremely likable guy. I hope he does win it himself one day. Congratulations and commiserations to him
Maybe he didn't realize Vettel would overtake Hamilton?
Personally I don't care who won it, the only reason I wanted Massa to win it because I got a good price for him during the race. I'm not much of a F1 fan but the last corner did look suspicious, Glock almost came to a halt.
one of the greatest sporting moments ever
btw
one of our commentators called hamilton passing glock jsut as it happened
he's a racer himself who does part time commentary
our other commentator was going "hamilton finishes 6th.." and this guy interrupts to go "NO HE DIDNT I AM SURE I SAW IT, HAMILTON JUST OVERTOOK GLOCK, I AM SURE"

The pit babes section on ITV.com is also interesting viewing Van.
They are doing a good job in my book!
Hat off to Hamilton, a great driver and a lucky fecker.
Those are the standard F1 commentators for all over the world I think.
If he goes anywhere it probably would be to Ferrari.
Don't you know Vettel - Next Schumi
So did the ITV commentatorts. But as it was happening.
Well said Count. I didn't realise that was Massa's dad at the end, only clocked on with replay when I saw something identical to Massa, presumably his brother, alongside him. He can take great pride at how well Massa conducted himself after the race though, with epic class
Hamilton was the best driver, and if the FIA hadn't got involved with some nonsense decisions, the title wouldn't have needed to be decided today. That said, incredible drama at the end. Genuinely thought the title was gone, I never gave up though because I knew Glock had to be struggling in the worsening track conditions on his dry tyres
I'm absolutely shattered, I can't possible comprehend how Hamilton or Massa must be feeling right now
fecking deluded people calling a fix. A car on a wet track in used dry tyres will lose over 30 seconds per lap, Glock gambled but just got caught out on the whole last lap.
Brazilian crowd booing, feck off too. Massa is a gentleman and gracious in defeat just like Hamilton was last season. Hamilton fully deserves it, as Massa would have done as well. Best end to a championship race you will ever see, I am delighted

he was 18 seconds slower on the lap, all the cars behind him were alot faster, he probably just let them through so he doesnt cause a pile up, the williams or BMW whoever it was behind Hamilton went past glock aswell on the final corners
Best part of the race was when the pit radio you could hear them going ''10 minutes and it rains''. The perfect setup for one of the best finishes I've ever seen. Now I realize why people call the Schumacher era boring
If he goes anywhere it probably would be to Ferrari.
Don't you know Vettel - Next Schumi
Yeah that is what would more than likely happen. Unfortunately!
Just imagine Vettel and Hamilton as partners though! Would be able to keep that team for years and years!
He accumulated the most points over the season so he did deserve it.
Fck off you prick.
Looks like alot of people here haven't tried racing on drys in the rain. It's extremely tricky to keep it on the road espically when its raining hard. Glock lost all that time because his tyres were cooling down in the rain which was losing him grip.
It almost paid off for Glock and he very nearly got 4th. What a season of Formula 1 Grand Prix though. It had everything, so many ups and downs and bags of controversy. It just had to end on a cliffhanger like that. Really enjoyed it this year and it should be even better next season when more of the toys get taken off the car, should be seeing alot more overtaking!
Fair play to Massa, a driver I really do respect and admire (even though he drives for the scum). Hamiltons one lucky fella but considering all of the dodgy decisions this year, it's about time he got a little bit of luck. Bring on 08/09!

Amazing post.
Last lap data:
P5 - Hamilton - wet tyres: 1.26.126
P6 - Glock - dry tyres: 1.44.731
P7 - Kovalainen - wet tyres: 1.24.945
P8 - Trulli - dry tyres: 1.44.800
Trulli did almost the exact same time as Glock on drys, fix my arse.

I don't watch F1 very often, but I shamelessly jumped on the bandwagon today....unbelievable tension!
dont forget also Glock was going Up a wet hill on dry tyres
Amazing post.
Amazing thread. One of the best seasons ever.
Glock faster than Trulli for the first two sector by over a second, last sector he suddenly lost it?
Anyone tell me what Kubica was thinking in the last lap?
Now let's hope the other coloured guy, the American one, will follow suit in a couple of days....
Like someone else said, he was driving up a wet hill if I'm not mistaken.
Glock faster than Trulli for the first two sector by over a second, last sector he suddenly lost it?
Glock being under investigation is immaterial to the World Drivers Championship. They can't exactly bump him up a couple of places for cheating, and they can't punish anyone else for Glock cheating either., unless they could prove McLaren bribed Toyota or something.
Yes he lost it because he was on DRY tyres IN THE WET. Is it really that hard to understand? It was raining very hard around the pits. Just like at the start of the race, parts of the track hadn't been rained on whereas other sections had. Same thing here.
@ some of you idiots calling out Glock! Thickos!He lost 3 seconds in the final sector to Trulli who was driving on the same track after being over a second faster than him in the each of the first two sectors.
I hope Glock comes out after the race to explain what happened, and Kubica too
Even though Hamilton won, Kubica's actions in the last lap which helped Vettel pass Hamilton in the first place were a bit strange in itself.
You do realise when Hamilton overtook him Glock was out on the marbles as a result, on dry tires, uphill, in the wet.
Made me think of this:
"When I born, I black.
When I grow up, I black.
When I go in sun, I black.
When I cold, I black.
When I scared, I black.
When I sick, I black.
And when I die, I still black.
You white folks...
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
When you bruised, you purple.
And when you die, you gray.
And you're calling me colored ??"
What strikes me more than anything in this thread, is how any of you can call yourself Ferrari fans? Or, are you fans from the glory days?
Congratulations go to Hamilton, and commiserations to a very worthy Massa.
