What an amazing race, Hamilton & Mclaren deserved to win. 3 cheers to Hamilton, hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray, hip[ hip hurray. I was a big Schumacher & Ferrari fan, but no more. Hamilton has really won me over, considering this is only his 2nd yr in F1. Ferrari has a big lobby and they have a big influence on the F1. I got pissed off when they changed the tyre rule to single manf...Michelin tyres were far superior to Bridgestone. Alonso was champion for 2 years bcos of Michelin & Renault combination. Only Ferrai & bottom 2 manf.. used bridgestone tyres. Ferrari used their power to have only 1 tyres i.e. bridgestone. You can clearly see that Renault and others are suffering bcos of bridgestone. All credit to Mclaren for matching pace with Ferrari. They recently thought of introducing 1 type of engine for all cars to minimise the cost, but Ferrari threatened to pull out. I wont be surprised if Ferrari pulls out of F1 if they dont win in the next 2 years. Again CONGRATS to Hamilton & Mclaren.

Da MOST unpopular winner....Hamilton's pure bull & good luck !! What do you say to a team which survives on secrets stolen from Ferrari ? They can stoop to "advising" Timo Glock to slow down also. Where's racing ? It's all "fixing" ! Admitted Massa is not in the same class as say a Schumi or Hakkinen & that Raikonnen is way below his potential. But anyone who has won more races sure has something in him.

whatever the arguments, whatever the opinions, whatever the popular view might be, the fact remains that felipe massa, kimi raikkonen and fernando alonso, giancarlo fisichella, sebastian vettel &c are far better and graceful drivers than hamilton. hamilton won not because of his skill but because of mclaren teamwork! even adrian sutil could've won had he been in mclaren. and not just that hamilton is arrogance personified. india is going to see a taste of his stupidity in 2009. we'll have to wait until then!
this being his last race had tons of bad luck following him. His qualifying went wrong and so did the last race. such a painful exit to the veteran and the senior most driver. Good bye David!!

If you think there is a limit for arrogancy why don't you apply it to yourself?
the feelin is common that he is arrogant and irresponsible. most of the F1 drivers hate hamilton. respect is somethin thats mutual. u get what u give. its strange whn ppl here defend lewis. do u watch F1 blindfolded?

i agree with you. hamilton is not only arrogant but a fluke winner. he won not because of his skill (or whatever skill he claims to have), but because of mclaren. last year if this worse team had only supported alonso wholeheartedly, alonso would've got them the title with much ease.
"everyone hates the british not just the world..." -anon.

lol.. hamilton is a crock. he crocked it up today and got real lucky. that suggests that he is not a man of nerves.
maclaren if u see over the season was a much better handling car than ferrari who had quite a lot of niggling technical problems. hamilton really made a hard work of it.
well done, but hard luck and for all guys who say that stewards favour ferrai.. its a ridiculous aqusition. F1 is owned by bernie eccelstone and if u check history they hav always favoured english teams like williams and mc laren.
Re: Ferrari and Massa well done.
by Mohammed Islamul on Nov 03, 2008 02:11 AM
stop the crap, they have always favoured ferrari. how many penalties on lewis this season, vs how many on massa ?
just leave it at that. remember, lewis was stripped of 6 points earlier, and massa awarded... else the championship was long over.
Re: Ferrari and Massa well done.

And he deserved every one of them, i have never seen a driver as arrogant and irresponsible as Hamilton! He is a very good driver but he can not be great until he becomes a good person! Driving aggressively is different than driving irresponsibly. I hope he learns to behave...
Re: Ferrari and Massa well done.
by symbolofpeace on Nov 03, 2008 02:11 AM
Are you sure of your allegations. Go check the history stewards and FIA have always mooted Ferrari. If there is somebody whom I like in Ferrari club it Schumacher the god of speed & techniques
Re: Ferrari and Massa well done.

i guess u shd check the history of F1, and right from the day of jackie stewart, nigel mansell, alain prost and ayrnton senna.
hamilton may have deserved the championship, but he sure is arrogant and he was very very lucky today.
i just cant like hamilton somehow, even if we both are huge arsenal fans. its the same sort of arrogance u see in most english sportsmen. arrogance and no humility at all.

Arrogance is everywhere dear arent you arrogant? why do you hate the arrogance in others. Just becuase you cant tolerate Lewis winning the title you cant shout so. He in his debut was all paced to win if at all Alonso wouldnt have been his teammate.
It seems SANTANDER, mac larens biggest sponsor is gonna sponsor Ferrari from next year and they have demanded that they want Fernando Alonso to drive for Ferrari. and they will buy out KIMI's rest of the contract.
now that w'd be awesome. without any doubt Alonso is the best current driver and im sure he w'd thump anyone and everyone that came across his way.

alonso cribbing. dude he never cribbed. he just voiced his concerns whn the whole british team was favoring a british driver. and all british sportsman are arrogant and pretty stupid wit their ideologies. English football team is a joke in front of world football.

Dont say this. just see how well is "the flying Finn" Mika is taken care by Mclaren Mercedes. and wish we stick to F1 than brandishing the countrymen.

in your dreams bddy..because massa is not hamilton..that is what they learn from ferrari and f1
Re: another rumour
by symbolofpeace on Nov 03, 2008 02:16 AM
may be you havent seen the video of them abusing each other in spanish when Massa crashed into Alonso in a race. Only time can say this. Kimi was a good partner and is more appreciable. recall what the Brazilain fans did to Lewis. Despite all this he WON
Re: another rumour
by avinash fernandes on Nov 03, 2008 02:20 AM
what brazilian fans did is correct...first tell ur hami to keep control over his tongue just like u..he is comparing himself with Senna on 31st oct on ITv...tell him who Senna is...
Re: another rumour
by symbolofpeace on Nov 03, 2008 02:34 AM
Damn if he addores Senna how did it turn out to be he himself comparing with Senna. Guys like you should be there to turn any matter to vengeance. well why dont you say the same thing to Alonso Fernando(es)..
