It really came out of nowhere. I new he was on drys, but they werent saying he was running slow or anything.

The one thing the Live Timing IS useful for.

Last lap - Overall - Sector 1 - Sector 2 - Sector 3
Vettel - 1:25.984 - 21.8 - 45.1 - 19.0
Hamilton - 1:26.126 - 21.6 - 45.2 - 19.3
Glock - 1:44.731 - 24.8 - 54.7 - 25.0
Trulli - 1:44.800 - 26.1 - 55.7 - 22.8

That middle sector must have just killed those dry tyres.

 

[StoOgE]

I'm still trying to get my head around what the hell just happened.

Yeah, even though my guy didnt win (well, my guy is Kimi, but Massa is my lulzworth guy).. that last lap was phenomenal. Vettel outracing Hamilton and then Glock out of nowhere. :lol

 

[The Spacepope]

Well I got my wish as this place turned into PF1 quite quick, hehe.

But seriously, what a crazy race.

 

[h3ro]

So this is what fanboys feel like when their favorite system losers System Warz in NPDs...


















:lol
Congrats Lewis!

 

[StoOgE]

Suicide watch in Italy tonight. :lol

I was watching the Live Timing screen, it went from Glock going FASTER than Hamilton with 3 laps to go, to a few seconds slower with 2 laps to go, then THAT HAPPENED.

My heart, ow.

Massa: I know how to lose.

And how!

 

[hadareud]

have to give it to Massa, he's definitely taking it like a man in the press conference.

He went up several notches in my estimation. He's now at several notches.

Yep thats right, cause it started to piss it down at the end!!!

I know, I was laughing at her thanking God, not being there :lol

Fuck, Hamilton is a wee prick with fuck all personality.

As much as I hate to say it, I prefer Shumi to Hamilton. At least he was a person, rather than a robot.

I'd love Alsonso to go to Ferrari, put Hamilton in his place. He would.

 

[woeds]

So where was Trulli's penalty for braking late at the end of the start/finish straight, diving to the inside and pushing the other driver off?

YES YES MORE!

WTF was Kubica doing, btw? He's the reason Vettel got by since Lewis had the straightline advantage. But Kubica just sort of barged his way past both cars. I don't think that's gonna endear him to the McLaren team. I assume he's looking for a seat elsewhere. Whatever happens, I hope to see Vettel teaming with Lewis at McLaren. Or maybe have both of them teaming at Ferrari. Vettel is fast. PEACE.

Well done to the boys for securing the WCC. Didn't trust you for the second half of the season but you managed to get over the line.

Well done to Lewis the bottler Hamilton for limping over the line. Felipe and Lewis both deserved the title this year. Ferrari lost the title for Felipe this year.

Vettel. You little legend. Michael knows. He always knows. Luca, you got your eyes on this kid.

Didn't expect the WDC today. But I misunderstimated the propensity of Lewis to throw it away. To have it dangled in front of you from Juncao to Juncao. That was fucking cruel man. I still didn't believe.

I wanna see Glock's sector times on his final lap to see what happened. He lost 18s on the last lap, so it doesn't look like it was done on purpose.

EDIT: Anyone from Ferrari or Project 4 thinking they are going to win the championship next year.....:lol BMW's gonna tear that shit up Le-Mans style with KERS. Put it down. Kubica WDC 2009 as the Bimmers dominate next year.

Yeah, I really dont know what the fuck Kubica was doing.

:lol :lol

using the word personality and Schumacher within one post, you're definitely taking the piss. You have to be. Please be?

 

[chickensoup]

It does feel like that at times.

With both Vettel and Kubica showing they know how to race and Alonso finally remembering how to go quick, 2009 should be a good year.

Edit: Wow, look at the rain now! It's looks like monsoon season in Brazil.

 

[scarybore]

There needs to be a bigger gap between 1st and 2nd podum finishes, OR award whoever wins the most races an extra +10pts at the end of the season or something to give it SOME meaning.

Indeed, bring back the 10,6,4,3,2,1 points system! No idea if it would have affected this championship and I don't really care as what is done is done, but it at least felt like they were rewarded for winning.

They should also get rid of the retarded one engine for 2 races or get a 10 place grid drop rule in addition to having to use both the soft and hard tyres, would be nice to have another tyre manufacturer while they are at it but thats even more unlikely to happen. Hopefully the new rule changes will shake things up for next year but I think I have been saying that the past few years anyways.

Either way it was a good championship even if it was slightly manufactured, the cunt won, the British press will now be unsufferable but at least I won't have to listen to James fucking Allen again.

And my mother just phoned me up to say she wants to slap a handbag in Hamilton's and his daddy's face. :lol

 

[Fowler]

Props to Massa for driving his heart out -- but CONGRATS LEWIS!!!!

I was wondering how F1 could top last season's madness. I think the last two laps did it.

So hang on -- Lewis doesn't get a trophy here? No presentation?

Lewis really did do everything he could to throw it away. Had he lost again with a 7 point lead again, it would be epic failure.

Watching the interview with Hamilton atm, doesn't seem very robotic to me.

If there is any robot in F1, it's Kimi, and even so I didn't begrudge him winning the WC, he took his chances and got his break. This year, Hamilton done what was needed, throughly deserving of being the youngest World Champion in F1.

Epic. 2008, it's been emotional.

Congratulations Lewis, Congratulations Ferrari.

 

[marvelharvey]

So where was Trulli's penalty for braking late at the end of the start/finish straight, diving to the inside and pushing the other driver off?

And the penalty for one of the Williams for knocking DC off at the first corner.

Kimi has a personality, he just hates the press and the celebrity status of being an F1 driver.

I guess Massa is safe for next year.

Now, Ferrari go hire Vettel.

 

[h3ro]

Perfect.

Massa handled the press conference perfectly... I'm sad for the guy...

 

[cilonen]

Dry tyres, mate. He and Trulli put in 1:44 last laps.

 

[SupahBlah]

That fucking pussy Hamilton gets GIFTED the fucking WDC.

That is one of the lamest fucking things I've ever seen in my life.

 

[Stop It]

Now, Ferrari go hire Vettel.

He must be wondering if his "upgrade" to RBR is really a good idea now, he is one of the most talented drivers in F1 right now and I hope to see him pushing Hamilton & co for the WC in years to come.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Awesome.

 

[avaya]

The tightest end to a championship I have ever witnessed.

Was a privilege.

 

[Pterion]

In yo' face. :lol

 

[avaya]

Dry tyres, mate. He and Trulli put in 1:44 last laps.

Yeah, like I said lost 18s on the last lap which is actually pretty good since you'd expect to lose more than 20s in such a situation.

 

[Goldrusher]

Finally this rotten season is over.

That's all I have to say.

 

[scarybore]

Kimi has a personality, he just hates the press and the celebrity status of being an F1 driver.

Indeed, and to be honest I really cant blame him.

Now, Ferrari go hire Vettel.

He has done some impressive drives this year, but I wouldn't like to bet on who his next team will be when the time comes.

Vettel might be the most talented driver in F1 right now. He outraced the world champion in a far inferior car at the end of the race. Get him in one of the top teams and he is sure to compete for a title.
