Well the boy done good! finally hes made it ,lets hope he can keep the title as im sure the FIA will want to Look at Timo Glock slowing (even though he was on dry tyres in pouring rain) allowing the black horse to win,for me Hamilton is exceptional.wonder if hell be tempted by Indy car,less petty rules at least.also what about that sporting brazilian crowd booing for all their worth,outstanding sportsmanship not.

next years winner will be……..Jenson Button on his honda scooter:):):)
He was meant to be Britains new great hope when he arrived in the sport, But he followed the money instead of the car. He has more chance of winning a raffle than a championship now.
Still Honda are the “Power of dreams” so keep dreaming Jenson me old mucker.:D

i know i kid, but there was a spat of world champions who either lost their ride, or had very uncompetive cars the next year, for example, Damon Hill won with Williams Renualt and the next year wound uo with TWR ARROWS, J. Villaneuve won the following year at Williams, and the car was quite non responsive.
their was also a whole load of drivers that had to put up with forced car changes and forced rule changes that seemed to me to push things in favour of a certain german driver. Take the old Hockhenheim for example nice straights few curves good racing. It gets changed with among others on the design team this german driver and the very first time their there he wins if thats not an advantage i dont know what is.
With the car changes next year it will be more like gp2 on steroids so they will either all crash on the first corner or it will be like watching paint dry:mad:
Damon Hill and J Villaneuve won it for different reasons and were both at the top of their game when they won it lewis is only at the begining of his and has a long way to go before hes at the peak of his career

not a chance his entire f1 career will be with maclaren, hes been signed to them since he was 10 so why change?

Brazil hasn’t had a champion since 1991, so I think they’re due on too.

At some point Massa will be champion i have no doubt about that, And with him and Hamilton in the sport the next few seasons should be very good.

Well face it, its about time we had another British winner of the World Championship – last British winner was some 12 years ago with a certain Mr Damon Hill (legend!) and since then we’ve not really had a decent enough British driver to contend for the title until Lewis came onto the scene.
Ok, those that follow the sport religiously will say what about Jenson Button? Well what about him…he’s not been quite as inspirational as Lewis has he!
Also, seeing as we are talking about British drivers, I think its important to recognise the career of David Coulthard, who leaves the sport after 15 seasons. Yesterday was his last F1 race, so sad that it ended quickly at Turn 2/3 on the first lap…! Well done to you too DC for an exceptional career! I did hear a rumor he might consider being a commentator on TV, which will be fantastic.:)
And to all the F1 fans out there, dont forget that next season the footage moves back to the BBC…now all we need is for Murray Walker to come back, and it will be just like old times!:D

After getting that from my heart, goncraturlations to mr Hamliton, Winning Formula 1 championship is not something that every kid could claim.
Not every kid has the backing of a F1 team.
There will always be the odd one groomed for stardom.
I’m only happy that Ferrari didn’t win everything this season.
As for the crowd, at least they can’t be called colour prejudiced, which is what Brits seem to claim wherever and whenever possible in these situations.
Yes, we Brits are mostly as partisan as any other race, it’s just that so far, we’ve been able to keep it a little more quiet.
