F1: Interlagos - Brazilian Grand Prix '08

[Rtoups]

Wow! What a race! I was watching it live, and the last 2 laps were killing me! But my man Lewis pulled through!

 

And this "Lewis cheated stuff" is crap. Timo was on dries, and his tires were rapidly degrading, and just couldn't hold out in the wet.

 

This is racing, my friends. There will be winners and there will be losers. If you can't accept that, find something else to watch.

[Car Freak]

Still, you'd have to admit, that was quite a fairytale ending...

[maroonstigjlr]

A bit yeh, but it was tense as anything! This season has seemed a bit like some sort of drama show.. But it's still been good :D

[YeOldeTDUMan]

Wow what a race ... I haven't been drawn in so much in quite a few years.

 

What an end to the race, I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat ... and then when the finish happened I did actually shed a little tear ?!?!? (of joy, for Lewis winning the championship)

 

Firstly congrats to Massa on such a clean and perfect race, he couldn't have done any more, also he's come on leaps and bounds this season and I for one am surprised that he's ouut performed Kimi time and again. I think Ferrari lost him the championship though through reliability and a few pit-stop cock-ups.

 

But well done Lewis and McLaren ... Lewis was damn lucky that Glock had no traction in those last few bends ... but then Toyota should have pitted him for new tyres so he wouldn't have been there in the first place anyway.

 

As to the celebrations I thought it was great that a 'superstar' like Nicole was bundling through the crowd just like anyone to see Lewis ... I think he might have got some last night ... well unless he had too much champagne ... then again McLaren may still be drinking champagne while I am writing this!

 

But it would have been nice if the crowd didn't Boo Lewis as much ... OK it was Massa's home GP and Massa was up for the title, but the crowds reaction made the Alonso fans at the Spanish GP look small time. But perhaps that's the latin spirit for you ... I just don't remember it in Senna's day.

 

And finally ... well almost ... Goodbye DC ... a true gentleman, joker and sportsman who'll be missed ... although I think he might be back at RB or STR as an advisor.

 

So ... Roll on next season with COMPLETELY new cars ... a whole new ball game !

When his GF was there? I somehow doubt she would allow that. :lol:

Nicole and Lewis are with eachother, or i understand you wrong.:eek:

[Eudemon]

Sarcasm is lost on the young. lol

[TimBud]

I bet Ferrari are trying to appeal that Glock let Hamilton through, and get them both penalised.

I don't know the 'yoof' of today !

 

Can't be a bad life being LH tho

[Nipper]

Surely it's too late for that? He has already been crowned champion, all hope is lost. =]

[Reclusive Duck]

After the race I kept checking the news just in case the FIA decided to interfere but thankfully they haven't. Congrats to Lewis, he deserved the championship and he's only in his second season! Not sure he's the best driver just yet, but he's well on his way.

 

Congrats to Massa too. He did everything he had to and nearly pulled it off and I really felt for him standing on the podium, i'm no Ferrari fan but it was impossible not to feel a bit sorry for him.

 

What a finish to a very exciting season, I can't remember a more controversial or dramatic year in recent memory. At the end of the race I couldn't help imagining what Max Mosley was feeling, I bet he was nearly crying in his dungeon........er I mean house

If Piquet was still in the race, no way that Hamilton became 5th :p

[Baltoman]

piquet was way back down in the race

[hpluls]

Didn't Piquet and Coulthard crash at the very beginning of the race?

[Nipper]

More than likely. =]

piquet was way back down in the race

No, he crashed out in the 2nd corner with Coulthard.

Didn't Piquet and Coulthard crash at the very beginning of the race?

Yep.

[Car Freak]

No Coulthard crashed with Nakajima. I think Piquet's one was unrelated

[HavockJoker]

Not really. Hamilton definately didn't deserve his win.:rolleyes:

 

In what ways didn't he. He got robbed of his victory at Spa. So this is totally deserving.

[Samurai Lincoln]

Hamilton lost accordingly at Spa. Enough said.

 

But, let's focus on what is truly important: Ferrari claimed their 16th constructors' Championship.

 

Now, if only Ferrari could get Michael Schumacher back to put Lewis Hamilton in his place (that place being 4th, right behind Schumacher, Alonso, and Massa). :thumbsup:

And Vettel. :p

So because you say it that's it, sorry but everyone even Ferrari fans - but not fanboys - know Hamilton got robbed as did one of the greatest manoeuvres ever in F1 history.

Coulthard was taken out by some shocking driving and as a result hit other cars.

I bet you support Manchester United too eh?:rolleyes:

[Samurai Lincoln]

I don't watch soccer / football.

 

Please see my location for details :D

[Iced_Bullet]

No one mentioned Ferrari's faces when they were half way through celebrating and then were told Massa hadn't got it! I laughed so much!
