BAMBINO: Wow, what a finish to another great F1 season. Lewis Hamilton avoided disaster by passing Timo Glock on the final turn to finish 5th thus securing the Driver's Championship. Hamilton, on Intermediates in the drizzle, was passed by Vettel, also on Intermediates, and was in 6th going into the final few turns. Felipe Massa already won the race and thought he had won the Championship, but Timo Glock, running on slicks, could not hold off Lewis across the finish line. A heartbreak for Massa and Ferrari, but jubilation and triumph for Lewis Hamilton and McLaren.
I myself do not like Hamilton because he drives for McLaren. With that said, I think he is a fabulous driver and a deserved World Champion. I tip my Ferrari cap to him on his Driver's Title. Well done Chap!
Ferrari did win the Constructor's Championship, but clearly they were feeling the blues over not winning the Driver's Title. I am sure they will rue the engine failure of Massa's F2008 in Hungary on the penultimate lap and the fuel rig mishap in Singapore. Those were valuable points lost. Oh well, that's racing. All in all, it was a great race and a great season. Congrats again to Lewis Hamilton and McLaren.
