Wd to hamilton, both him and massa would have deserved the title.

One thing that we saw today is that vettel kicked his butt badly. I thought hamilton was good in the rain.

Wow what a finish, it was not the best race ever, was rather boring but the end made it worth it :). So what if glock let him through, had that been massa with alonso in front of him the same thing would have happened. I don't think he let him through i just think he had no grip.

Yeah, maybe it's not all rigged, but to the extent that is required to make it closer... next year it's renault and bmw in the mix too...

Awesome race... I was screaming like it was a rugby game on the last lap... You have to feel for Massa, but Hamilton is a good driver, if only the Ferrari pit crew were a bit faster sprinting down the pit lane to take the fuel line out ;)

But... We all know that McLaren likes conspiracies, and Im sure we will hear some stories about Glock/Toyota being offered some money behind the scenes...

If you look at the replays you can see he actually yielded...

Vettel needs to be bought by a better team, awesome up and comer, maybe Hamilton's team mate?

I think glock suffered on the rain. Look he did race Hamilton alot in GP2 and the commentators always said they are good friends, but when it comes to World Championship points, its too much money to throw away... i highly doubt he did it on purpose.

He lost well over 16 seconds in about half a lap. Thats a lot of time to lose.

Well don't count out redbull, with the superstar vettel driving for them i think they are going to be awesome.

We saw today what vettel can do in a slower car, imagine what he can do with a good race winning car.

vettel has already signed with redbull for next year, hopefully it is the correct decision.

Fantastic for Hamilton, the youngest ever F1 champion, what a sensational race, Massa was untouchable, sublime and flawless in every regard from the 1st practise session to the finish today, he and his team did everything text book perfection but Hami did what he needed to do and took the Championship and congrats to him, brilliant achievement, brilliant season, brilliant driver and team...

What about Glock intentionally staying out so that they could organise a "bribe" from McLaren :)

Noooo - That would be war. Then someone would get killed as Hamilton would never allow someone to beat him.

A great race and a great way to finish off.
I was sitting at my friend's place and about 17 laps from the end I tell him that the race needs some more rain. And then it bloody happens :D

I'm a Ferrari and Kimi fanboi. Was backing Massa though for this race and he and the team did what they needed to do today.
Hamilton got lucky - very lucky...

All I want to know is how much Glock got paid? :p
He was lapping at very good times towards the end and the rain was not significant enough for him to lose out that much time - I'd like to see where and how he lost that time.

At the end of the day - it was nail biting and great for the sport.
Bernie Eccelstone could not have asked for a better ending to the year.
Last year's Brazil GP was fantastic, this year again!

Looking forward to next year!

hahaha... Yeah I'm sure amongst all the commotion McLaren and Toyota still had time to broker a deal...:rolleyes:

If it was anyone, it was Max and co - since he didn't use his stewards this race... funny considering the pit lane close calls (x2)... more inconsistensies...

Massa was sublime this race and so very gracious in defeat. He did everything he needed to ensure that he had his best chance of winning the championship.

Vettel should be driver of the season.

Alonso, a class act.

Well done Hamilton... being a McLaren fan, I’m ecstatic!!
