Did he keep us on the edge of our seats or what!! Fantastic result in the end although it should never have come to that as Lewis should never have been stripped of his win in Spa.

Talk about roller coaster ride of emotions - one minute thinking he'd blown it then he suddenly passes Glock half a mile from the finish and took 5th to win the championship. We were all dancing round my sisters lounge at the end!!

Well done Lewis!!

Yeah. And Spurs didn't do bad for you either.

Yep.....all in all a bloody good weekend.

Forgetting my views on how dull F1 is....

I'm glad a Brit one, though am concerned about the 'Hamilton Factor' that is taking over the country.

I still find the Glock thing unusual - that was not tyres going off, and no explanation why previous lap was fine, then last 2 sectors of last lap he lost nearly 30s, and the rain was no heavier.  I wonder if he will be in a McLaren in a years time

Short odds on that one at the bookies, methinks....

There seems to be more evidence that he didn't sandbag, but you do wonder.  Vettel and Kubica certainly weren't trying to help though!

I actually haven't seen a lot of the 'Hamilton Factor'.  He will probably be annoyingly popular like Beckham, but more people I know were rooting for Massa.

Both Toyotas stayed on dry tyres.The rain was getting a lot heavier on the last lap.Glock lapped faster than his team mate on the last lap.
Glock was one of the drivers who stuck the boot into Hamilton for being dangerous at Monza
Neil Armstrong did land on the moon.

[hersham boy]

Both Yotas were well off the pace as it started to rain, if he was slowing down he started on lap 69!!

Timo Glock
69 1:18.688
70 1:28.041
71 1:44.731

Jarno Trulli
69 1:22.428
70 1:33.539
71 1:44.800

I always find it quite amusing that whenever something contraversial happens in high profile sports, out come the calls of "conspiracy".

Throughout much of their careers including GP2, Hamilton and Glock have been bitter rivals on the track so why on earth would Glock want to help Hamilton? Glock was racing for points so I can see no reason why he would want to deliberately throw points away to help his long time rival.

Glock has quite categorically stated in the media that he was driving on the ragged edge when Hamilton passed him and would have been off the track had he have tried to go any faster with slick tyres on a wet track.

Lewis Hamilton won fair and square, end of.

didn't Raikkonen let Massa past in the previous GP?   and for that matter wasn't Kovalinen protecting Hamilton off the start.
Its all this track politics that turns me off F1.

Still I watched all the race on Sunday (only race I saw this year) and by 'eck it was exciting.

Now , what with the Olymics and all, who will be sports personality of the year.. ?

The difference here Ian is that these guys drive for the same respective teams and in Massa and Koveleinen's case, neither of them had a chance at the championship whereby their team mates did. It then becomes the drivers decision wether to allow his team mate past as team orders are no longer permitted. In the Hamilton Glock situation, they are long satnding rivals driving for rival teams.

I understand that they are on the same team of course, but for me it is fundamentally not sporting, and part of why F1 has never really grabbed me.

Give me MotoGP any day (Before anyone says,I'm sure the same thing goes on there).  Those guys have balls of steel!

Have to agree with you there, and hopefully world superbikes will be worth watching again now it has some british participents in it again

Although motogp and to a lessr extent wsb are going up the same technological blind alley as F1.
