GO COULTHARD, oh, wait.

:D

did he win?

wtf did just happen?
btw gg bmw :/

he passed glock there in the last straight, I didn't even see it.

RULE BRITANNIA IMO

Funny, but I doubt he's English, look at his skin, he lives in a hot country like Australia or South Africa.

Prob drunk :P

15 seconds down on the start of the last lap, made up 19 seconds on glock and passed him on the 2nd to last corner going up the hill

Do Brits actually root for him?

why not?

down to the 2nd to last corner ffs!!

oh and lol @ ferrari teams faces when they are told that hamilton is 5th, need a photo of that for internet failure

OWNED HAHAHHAHAHA

thnx

ye I saw that one, was like wtf, they not celebrating any more? :D:D:D:D:D

oh man I may have to download the event just to see that part, looks epic.

Any vids please, just wanna see the last few laps!

lol @ glock cheating to let hamilton win, id have done the same to get some notoriety though

the chances are glock feels the same as most of us (at a guess), and feels that stewards decisions this year have been poor, and biased against hamilton so he decided he deserves it tbh.

check lap and sector times of the last lap. he drove the same lap time as trulli. both were on dry tyres on a wet track.

yup, his tires were fucked up, could barely stay on track that last curves

wow tense race,a real nail bitter

gg lewis :D

The whole thing was dumb, just as last year's final race. Hamilton screwed a clear situation of win due to being a complete newbie. Still wondering wth happened in that last lap. Anyway, Massa, Raikkonen and Alonso are clearly the best pilots.

its his 2nd season and he should of had 2 championships by now.give the guy a break and take ur hat off to him!
even with all the penalties and scandals this season he came out on top.youngest ever f1 champion.

Its easy to become the youngest F1 champion by making a debut in a McClaren. Alonso had that record until today, and he began with a Minardi.

Try giving credit where it's due.

OMG MADNESS! What a final lap! I nearly got a heart attack. Well down Lewis and Mclaren Mercedes you deserve the win!

Fuck that dude :(

Hamilton DID NOT deserve to win the title. I wonder how much McLaren paid Timo Glock to let this fucker through.

Felipe Massa IS THE REAL FORMULA 1 champion for 2008. Period.

agreed

bs, what about all the SHIT mr H has had to go through from terrible judges/FIA's decisions.

if a red car does something wrong, NOTHING is done, turn a blind eye etc...

Warning: British bias detected.

What about the two car failures for Massa? And the mechanic's screw up in Singapore?

And what about Glock being a kilometer outside the racing line in that corner eh?

if a red car does something wrong, NOTHING is done, turn a blind eye etc...

oh really?
Let me remind you what happened in Japan. Massa got a penalty for being too harsh with Lewis. Fair enough, though what about Hamilton pushing Kimi outside of the racing line in Lap 1? He was "fined" about 20 laps later. Hamilton pushed off track a few other guys the same day. No penalty. Now, please, get lost.

By the way, do you remember how Hamilton was the only driver pulled out of the tarmac by that truck last year? I believe it was in France, I am not sure though.

Get your facts straight. Hamilton was punished for pushing Räikkönen of the track, which he didn't. It was Kovalainen. Hamilton was punished for outbraking himself. Ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as punishing Bourdais for Massa's fault.
Massa benefited a lot from decisions made by the FIA/Stewards. (Valencia, Spa, ...)

Glock and Trulli were on dry tyres on a wet track. Check the sector and lap times of the last lap. There was nothing Glock could have done. He barely managed to accelerate on the uphill part in the last sector.

idd, when hamilton passes him on the last lap, u see glock try to stick some power on and his car starts to lose control. Glock took a risk and it didnt pay off...

You must be kidding on that one. Last year he had the FIA covering his ass more than one time . The most ridiculous one was the crane pulling Hamilton's car on track again. I mean, they modified the rules after some of these incidents, was just hilarious.

If they didn't take decisions this year against him it would look way to obvious.

judges != competitors. theyre not on the same team, they should have been competing until the end

oh man plz stfu. fuck the judges decisions. this is exactly why they should have the same race marshalls for each race. Massa did what he needed to do and the same for hamilton.

Might i refer you to the final lap times of both GLOCK and TRULLI who were both on the dry tyres.


HMMMM sector/lap times same to be exactly the same for both drivers.

They really did a convincing job of letting the hamilton win the championship.

...

GG HAMILTON

massa is such a great driver that he cant win a GP unless he starts on pole???

...

god ur so fucking stupid law

i know hes a good driver, but none the less, hes never won unless he starts on pole...

woo top gear in 5 minutes, good day for cars on tv eh.

F1 is nearly as boring as nascar. i stopped caring when my favorite driver heinz harald frentzen left :<

WRC or touring car racing is where it's at!

If you are saying today's race was boring you are doing something wrong.

i didn't even know there was a race. like i said, i stopped following it years ago ;)

You missed the best.

the best race ever was when Schumacher jizzed all over Hakkinen by 40+ seconds in Monaco a couple of years back.

Vettel may be the M. Schumacher btw. This guy rocks. Just give him a better car ffs

Di Resta > Vettel
he proved that already

omg what a race, last lap = just awsome

damn i missed it, but i'm glad hamilton won - he really deserved it

try this one

http://www.index.hr/video/film.aspx?id=4724

ferrari got what they deserved. that was just insane

Well done Hammy. You deserved it.

Rossi > all F1 drivers.

"Rossi > all * drivers." Fixed :)

goddamn yes, that last lap in F1 is happening thoughout the whole race in motoGP

senna, mansell, prost, alesi.... > rossi

how can u put alesi there, he s s won 1 f1 race in his entire carreer XD

he has a good name xD

oh and this !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jye3mBc8L24

Alesi > Rossi? Hahahaaaa noob. How can you even compare an 8 time world champion to Alesi?

The Senna vid was ace though!

The best F1 race in recent times was Suzuka 2005 when Kimi owned Fisi on the last lap. Alonso overtook heaps of drivers too (including Schumi).

DA DA DA DIRD DIRD DIRD
THE DIRD IS THE WORD

noes massa ;[

they've been playing some clips of interviews with Nicole Scherzinger on the radio today following the win, didnt realise how retarded she is. oh and her voice, like a simpson

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RkcCxYMwmO0 the end is funny

brilliant :D

carebear2000.
srsly,

I've never really followed F1, but when I used to catch it, it was boring seeing Schumacher win all the time. There has been more action in the past 2 seasons than the 10 seasons prior to Hamilton joining combined.

Aha, so there's only action when you have a pilot to cheer for, right? Don't let the hype blind you. Hamilton didn't change F1 at all. The victories of Alonso over Schumi had not only a lot of exciment too, but a much higher level of driving. This season has been a disaster in driving quality, with both contenders struggling badly all the time (and Kimi missing).

EDIT: Hamilton drove much better during the first half of previous season than this one. Much better. Second half was terrible too.

Seriously, come on. You can't deny the fact that more people are probably watching formula one since Hamilton arrived on the scene. Before that it was in dire need of change.
Alonso's victory over Schumacher means nothing, Schumacher was coming towards the end of this career anyway.
I much prefer seeing action than people driving calmly for 70 laps before soaking each other in champagne. Where's the excitement in that? Oh look, his gear changing is marvellous!

I think you are wrong to attribute the plus in viewers to Hamilton.
I'd rather say it's because the removed the traction control which results in more driving mistakes.

Was that implemented the same season Hamilton joined?

I don't particularly like Hamilton myself but he seems to be the cause of all the drama. Young, black and pissing everyone off because of his gutsy, aggressive style. It seems most people want to see him lose because he isn't the "norm". That's how I'm seeing it.

not sure, I think it was implemented this season. So a season after Hamilton, but I still believe in my point. since the viewers have increased this season in comparison to 2007.

And yeah I dislike him because of his driving style. Not because he is not the "norm" but because he risks hurting others. And I never like that .

Are there more viewers at all? I don't know. I can guess there are more on the uk, and less at Germany. No idea on the global. And in any case it doesn't imply the driving style is more spectacular. Hamilton isn't more aggresive at passing than Montoya was a few years ago, and that didn't increase the rates. The right amounts of hype do, tho ;)
And btw, I do like Hamilton's driving style. He's cool when he's on. But he makes way too many mistakes too. All I say is that there's too much hype around him.

summarizes pretty well why I don't like him.

i was at the bar, when i saw ferrari mechanics celebrating i thought massa won and i got drunk afterwards. in the morning ive downloaded the race to watch last laps and shit... i was stunned :)))))))
