hamilton is the luckiest driver he should give Timo Glock a call for giving him the championship.

already the british press are asking if he can beat shcumachers records…give the guy a break.

and the times are asking if britain will ever love hamilton the way hill & mansell were….hill was a gentleman…mansell was arrogant just like hamilton….but hamilton will be more successful.

just 24 hours after the best moment in young lewis hamiltons life already the british press are preparing his downfall…and what for?? all because hes now a multi-millionaire with a pop star girlfriend. good luck to him he deserves all the success he gets for all them weekends he spent with his dad karting while his peers found girls and booze.

to all the hamilton haters prepare for the global domination if hamilton as the worlds largest brands use him for advertising. hah

It will be interesting to know what the Brazilian and the Spanish press made of Hamilton winning the championship

He’s 23 years old. You talk about him as if he’s a veteran and cannot possibly improve.

The most undeserving champion in the history of F1. Forget winning many championship, he can not even remain competitive if Mclaren loses it’s pace even slightly. He is not at all a great driver, at best he can be compared to Jaques Villeneuve. Lewis is the example of being in right place at right time.

Jean, this is hilarious. Lewis get’s lambasted for showing his impetuousness at certain races (Japan), then criticized for driving too conservitively at Brazil! You just can’t win can you… Hold on, he did!!! WOOO HOOOOOOO. May this be the first of many championships…

What a race, and many true comments from the press, indeed. Heck, there was even a 5 minute report on Dutch Radio 1!

However, I’m inclined to say that Massa would have been no less a deserving champion than Hamilton is, and yesterday’s race proves it.

He didn’t win it , in fact as was predicted by many , he (and probably McLaren more to blame for being too conservative) lost it when Vettell passed him on the final lap. But of course Glock stuck his car in reverse gear or something similar , to lose 18 seconds , and that allowed Lewis past. That said , I still congratulate Lewis , him ending up 7 points ahead by the penultimate race after a year with ups and downs for both contenders , tells the story better than the end result itself.
