i couldn't be bothered watching it on TV as its not really my sport, but i was f5ing it every few seconds in the last few laps. I wanted Massa to win as I don't really like Hamilton and was laughing when he dropped to 6th in the last lap. Only to f5 seconds before the finish to realise he was in 5th!

Id be slightly surprised if Glock didn't know exactly what he was doing there. Especially from the way he congratulated Lewis after parking up..
In the end i'm just very glad that it didn't come down to being decided on the free point massa got gifted 3 weeks ago, since that would of left a rather sour taste over the years action.

Such a shame it ended with Hamilton on top but still, cannot complain at the amount of action in that race. I thought I was going to have a heart attack all throughout the last three laps 
Now onwards with next year and no ITV adverts

Ye shame Hamilton won in the end, love massa. but at the end of the day thats motor racing, if it was all plain sailing no-one would watch it. Can only echo whats been said, last 5 laps had me on the edge of my chair Bring on next year.
Bring on next year.

so much anti hami - but least it isnt as bad as that racist spanish website that was running. To piss them twats off is a good enough reason for a hamilton win in the championship.
I was behind hamilton all the way, he may come across as a bit arrogant but all the top drivers do. Everyone in racing knows hamilton as got that extra edge which shows in how aggressive his driving can be.
Anyways, as for this finish, well my misses said that i sounded like i won the lottery when i saw Lewis passing Glock at the end there. Sure people will say Glock let him take it, and who knows if he did or not. However he was on the slick tires and had no grip, even at that slow speed up the hill he was twitching all over the place even after Lewis passed him.
Next season I hope the FIA and stewards do a better job, they messed about with races way to often and made many poor decisions. Wonder why rosberg didnt get a drive through penalty for the first corner incident like hamilton did the other race!? curious isnt it. That said they done it on people other then Lewis through the season with dodgy decisions.
I do feel sorry for Massa, he would have been told by the team he was world champion, and then 10 seconds later to get told they made a mistake and he wasnt must have been heart breaking. Seems a decent guy, but it stuck one up the booing fans if nothing else.
Hamilton, Massa and Alonso next year is going to be interesting, just hope that BBC get some decent commenters for it, they be hard pressed to get people as good as the ITV crew who truelly knew what they were doing and had built up a great relationship with many drivers and teams.
Massa had a supreme race, made it look easy. That should have been 3 straight years of winning the race, shame he handed away victory last year. Hamilton by his terms was poor and had a big helping of luck at the end after making a silly mistake on the last lap that in reality should have cost him for the second year running. Very exciting, and looking forward to next year when i believe there could be 4 very good teams (Mclaren, Ferrari, BMW-who focused on next years car after about half way point this season hence dropped off pace, and Renault who seemed to just develop a great car at the end fo the season.

cant remember a race like that tbh... not with that kinda drama... not since Nigel Mansell blew his tyres in Adelaide (look at that!! LOOK AT THAT!!!)
to take it on the last corner... amazing.. altho it did seem like tactics from Timo Glock.. but who cares!!
Hamilton was unfairly penalised throughout the season and still comes thru to win it. Brilliant.
dont get me wrong i think Massa is a great bloke too and F1 is looking good just for that rivalry, but Lewis deserved it.
as already mentioned... BYE BYE ITV!!! fucking ad breaks in the middle of the race... useless twats... how annoying was that?
also... David Coulthard... sad way to end his final race.. could do nothing about it, and he'll be missed in F1. good luck fella!!

This is what annoying me about the pro-massa fanclub.... they go on about Glock going slow (look at trulli's time for the same last lap - iirc glock was actually faster then him). If glock wanted hamilton to win he would have pitted for wet tyres as well and it would have been a non-issue as he wouldnt have been infront of hamilton, they gambled and almost got 4th place. Even 6th place was a great result for him, it may have even moved him up a position taking that gamble. cant remember as wasnt focused on him. lol

Hamilton deserved to win, he has been good all season.
Massa had a fantastic race but this was just 1 single race, for the rest of his season he has been inconsistant, just look at Silverstone where he couldn't even keep it on the track, spinning 5 times, and Hamilton was racing 5 seconds faster then everyone else, even Barichello on full wet tyres. That is skill, and even then the Ferarri has been far more unreliable.
Hamilton and Maclaren deserved to win the Season even if Massa rightly deserved to win this single race and it's a big 2 fingers up at all the racists.
Now don't get me wrong, I like Massa and I think he showed great dignity and sportsmanship in how he handled the defeat, but the championship went to the right man this year.
As for glock, Hamilton was catching up on him, as was Trulli for the whole of the last lap and he was still running on the wrong tyres, he was over taken fair and square it was just a matter of wether it happend before or after the finish line, and it was close, it's no worse then Kimi letting Massa past last time or the points Massa got for free from the Stewards biased decisions.
If Massa had won it would of spoilt the championship as there would always be the question of the points he shouldn't of got. This was the only way it should of ended and hopefully next year they will sort out the Stewards so people can focus on the racing instead and with the new tyres it should be good.
No commercials is nice but I am concerned about the BBC taking over, I really like the input from Martin Brundle, it is good getting a real F1 drivers knowledgable view of what it is like in the cars and in racing conditions.
Do we know who exactly will be on the BBC F1 team yet? CBA to google it.
