BAMBINO: Wow! The Iceman finally cometh! Kimi Raikkonen did the improbable, he won the Brazilian GP outright, and he got some help from the McLaren Boys as Hamilton and Alonso did not score enough points to win it all. It was a great ending to a great season in F1. One of the best I have seen in a long time. BRAVO KIMI!
FERRARI
The team held together and never gave up. Kimi and Felipe won their share of races but in the end, Kimi was the one who had the icewater in his veins. His win at Spa and Shanghai really propelled him down the stretch. Felipe Massa was a great team mate. His time will come.
MCLAREN
With all the bickering and controversy surrounding the team, they were leading in the Driver's Championship on the last day, but Lewis Hamilton's rookie mistakes and Alonso's inability to catch the Ferraris did them in. Still, they are a great team with two world class drivers.
BMW
A great season for the second tier team. As a fan, I hope they can make the leap to the elites. They have good engineers and two fine young drivers. They can only go up.
THE REST
Toyota and Honda had miserable seasons. Their non factory teams (Williams and Super Aguri) out raced them. The bottom feeders really didn't make a dent, but we can hope they get more competitive.
FINAL POINTS STANDINGS
1) Kimi Raikkonen - Ferrari (110 points)
2) Lewis Hamilton - McLaren - Mercedes (109 points)
3) Fernando Alonso - McLaren - Mercedes (109 points)
