I don’t feel Massa would be AS deserving given Kimi letting him by last race, and the ridiculous penalties in his favor/against Lewis.

I should add that the attrition was very low in this race, and the drivers should be credited for that considering the conditions, but I also expected a lot more risk in the final race of a year.

Coulthard’s unfortunate career exit in the Senna S was somewhat predictable.

I think the voters are a bit wrong to have factored in the season-ending events to the race, because without looking at the championship points, you cannot call this race better than Spa this year. Toyota’s blunder and Hamilton’s luck do not top Heidfeld’s charge to third place.

Hamilton should be champion on consistency but I think the real champion this year was the rain.

Imagine what next year will be like if Renault and BMW can actually keep their development up through the entire season.

Even though I cried with Felipe, I still gave the race a 9. Even before the race started I was so nervous and scared for Felipe. But in the end the guy with the most points won. I support the idea of the medal system and that the guy with the most gold medals win the DWC. Then Felipe would have won. But well done to Hamilton. And I think that this is the best thing that could have happened to Felipe. This will give him that extra hunger to come out fighting for the title next year. Go Felipe!!

A 10, because it was the second title-decider race in a row that makes me cry of joy in front of the TV, at least for two laps… This time wasn’t the result I’d loved to see, but it was a proper end for a really fought roller-coaster championship. Congratulations to Lewis for showing finally that he can keep his head cool and win the championship (and proving me that he actually deserve to be champion).

Felipe, we’ll have revenge next year

No no Ceedas, I think you’ll find, through the power of maths, that the correct driver and team won their respective championships, as they amassed more points than the other competitors.

8/10 for this one. Would have been average if it wern’t for all that was at stake, but I was on the edge of the sofa for most of it.

Wrong driver won the drivers championship, wrong team won the constructors championship, but fair enough. Let’s see what next year brings…
