Big pat on the back for Massa (like Kimi did in the Press Conference )

Massa may not be this years ‘champion’ but he is a CHAMPION.
When in front that boy flies, and when it became evident Hamilton wasn’t able to make enough points he did the right thing, he’s a team player and he handed the lead to Kimi. Cheers for Massa !!!!!

The “F” in F1 must stand for “farce”, and the FIA the first three letters of FIAt.

Felipe Massa does a Rubens Barrichello impersonation mid-race (remember Austria 2002?) to hand the lead to Raikkonen, and nobody says a word? Massa was the fastest in the race and should have won. Without slowing to help Raikkonen, Raikkonen would have finished second and Fernando Alonso would be world champion.

I thought “team orders will be investigated and punished” was the new rule. So much for that. Just like last year’s attempts to hand Ferrari the title (the “illegal” aerodynamics, the “illegal” ballast, the “illegal” move at Monza), the FIAt is getting more blatant in its bias.

If there’s any justice, BMW will be disqulified for the fuel irregularities and Hamilton will be crowned champion. But of course, the FIAt oversees that, too….

My heart was racing all the way through the race. Shame Hamilton couldnt win it but what a great season! EVERYTHING happened, what an almost perfect season. Will never forget F1 season 2007

The most amazing thing is that Kimi was 17 points adrift before China.

Even two wins in two in that situation is usually not enough. Maybe he can count himself lucky on Lewis’s problems (It would have been interesting if his car hadn’t cut out who would have won), but I don’t want to take anything away from Kimi, especially after coming so close on TWO previous occasions – he desevered some luck!

Roll on next season (and hopefully a Hamilton win!)

Great race graet season!!

So much can be said about both. It seems that the season could only end this way. Hamilton showing his youth. The ferrari’s showing their strength. Kimi showing all of us a CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVE.

COME ON 2008

Ferrari is back, They won the championship in the track and not in the court. Cant wait for the next season. The odds were against Kimi, but it all fell together for him. Unreal Luck. I gotta paint myself red tommorow.

Regarding Steve's comment, Ron Dennis said after the race he thought switching Hamilton's strategy saved him ten seconds: Car failure denies Hamilton
