gangajas:Yes i noted that too and i was stoked! not surprised but wow.. shows what a man he is
Ron Dennis has only thanked English supporters, that shows what kind of man he is, a nationalist with zero class.

Isn't McLaren a British team? What kind of message is that to the British, but non English, McLaren fans? That without taking into account the few McLaren fans outside of the islands.

Moderators! Please for all of us delete post posted by Emperor and warn him about language displayed all the time in his posts about Lewis Hamilton. What is way too much is simply too much! He is probably the bigest LH fan but, rednack language do not belong on rennteam.
So, Lewis Hamilton is WC... Did he deserver it? Looking at complete season answer is yes. Looking at this last race answer is NO.
IMHO Hamilton did not won today World Title but, Massa lost it...
Both are by far my favourite drivers. It the end lucky one won World Title today... Glock, Glock! LH new favourite name for sure...
Vettel drove excellent today as did Alonso IMHO.
All in all drama in the end. Good(or bad) end scenario for all F1 fans.

gangajas:Thank Brazilian and Spanish fans for that. Mclaren have had to up their security because of the threats issued by the Brazilian fans. Last year people tried to deprive Hamilton of a good night sleep before the race by making loud noises outside his hotel in Brazil. Image racing in a country where people are ready and willing to sabotage for you. You have no idea how cruel racism can be.

Quite right. Done.
EMPEROR: I deleted your post. Next time be a little more classy. You should go out and celebrate, but such posts can be insulting to others and not permited in Rennteam as you can see.

I also forgot to mention how sad I feel for Coulthard to finish his last F1 race in a long career and be crashed out after the first corner after the green flag drops. Was really hoping that he could just have finished the race no matter what position, crossing that finish line one last time would probably be the proper closing for any racers career.
And what about all the stupid hype over LH's girlfriend?!#$@#$% Who gives a crap who she is even if she is the voice if PCD, shes a "is now" and soon will be a "has been" in the F1 paddock. The way media swarmed to her was just sick.
I think his girlfriend looks like Lewis in drag......stick a helmet on her and you wouldn't know the difference....
What a great ending to the season.....if that had been scripted as a film, it would have been seen as unbelievable.

How ironic and sad is sport at times, after Hamilton almost sent Glock into the wall at Italy, today he has handed him the championship.
Alonso also had a very mild approach towards Massa. In fact he was acting as he was watching his back like a bodyguard.
However, if Vettel stayed behind Glock, Hamilton would end up 6th, because in no way he could pass Vettel in the wet.
So, Vettel's ambition to finish as high as possible helped Hamilton. Glock was the weak link, he stayed on dry tyres and inevitably was passed by Vettel first and after that Hamilton's task was very easy.
reginos:Glock was much slower than both of them, there was nothing he could do to block Vettel and Hamilton.

I've just found out that Glock stayed on dry tyres and obviously his gamble didn't pay off.
I must also say that Massa was a gentleman in defeat. I respected the way he conducted himself.
Glock did well to keep it on the road with slick tyres.
Massa's time will come, just as Kimi's did after years of just missing out and for Hamilton after losing out last year by a single point. Had Massa won this year, there would have been question marks about certain stewards decisions in earlier races, just as if a McLaren had won last year for different reasons. We should all rejoice for a very exciting season even though at times it has been rather bewildering. Well done to Hamilton and Massa for thier part and also the other teams being so much closer this year. Shame lots of rule changes next year as it's been the most competitive season for years with 7 different race winners.
Glock should get the number two seat at McLaren next year. Those two ought to be on the same team.
Hamilton deserved the win for the season he has had. It would have brought too much scrutiny to every stewards decision of the season if he hadn't won.
Not a great way to seal the deal, but he did win the drivers championship.
Congratulations to Lewis and McLaren for the drivers championship.
Congratulations also to Ferrari for the constructors championship.
I love to see the titles split at the end of the season, it breeds an extra competitiveness for the next season.
With the rule changes for next year and the awesome performance from Renault lately, next season looks great.
Alsonso, Hamilton, Massa, and Kubica should all have a great shot. I am concerned for Vettel being "promoted" where I fear next season might be all the tougher on him.
Fantastic race, congratulations to Lewis, his family, Maclaren and everybody involved. it's very well deserved for Ron as well as he must have endured a heart stopping race. This race will go in the history books and I will not forget it for a long time. Lewis well done !!!!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Mark
I don't know who had new engine on last race, but I heard that most drivers got new engine. Probably those engines were more opened, a little more powerfull, because its last race and it doesn't need to hold on two races, but only on one. Maybe thats reason why Ferrari was that faster, why Toro Roso and Toyota was on McLaren's pace.

Too much errors in ferrari this season...the could won the title 2 races ago
I'm convinced that Alonso could won last year and this year the title without any favoritism for lewis in mclaren...
