It's going to be so tight? Who do you think is going to win? Hamilton is definetely in poistion. But if hamilton messes up I think my boy Raikkonen is in the best position. Alonso may skip ahead of the Ferraris because of a heavier fuel load. 
I'm putting my money on Hamilton, although I would love to say Raikkonen.

I was so happy today! What an exciting race. The iceman has finally won a championship after two close calls. He really deserved it. I totally said it was going to be a crazy turn 1.

Sit down and watch a full race, you'll start to understand. Like any sport, you've gotta break through the 'understanding' barrier before its cool.

its not nascar my friend...

nascar is just going around and around in a circle... lame and boring as shit.

formula 1 is insane, because of how fast those gguys are going...

not to mention the contreversey there was all season between alonso and hamilton... next year will be interesting.

congrats to kimi though.. thats awesome.

as if he lost.....Hamilton was looking good for a while.  Im happy that Alonso didn't win. Honestly ever since he joined up with Mercedies he has just turned into the biggest asshole ever. I have to give Hamilton credit for going against his bosses and making a name for himself. I don't even think Micheal even had such a great rookie season.

That kid has a HUGE future in F1, and honestly if he was the  attention he deserves he schould go either to  a smaller team, or a team with a different management style.  He has great lead driver potential.

Lewis just make a rookie mistake in turn 1 that had him trying to recover all race. As if that wasn't enough he had technical difficulties which slowed him but he got in the points at least.
Alonso is just a really good driver although he's a whiny baby back bitch i have mass respect for his driving and skill level. Ferrari was just way too fast and ahead of Mclaren's pace here at this kind of long loamy track. Alonso's car just couldnt keep up.
Kimi Raikkonen has always stood out to me. He has always been a great driver but he was with Mclaren who doesnt treat drivers how they should. Also shit kept breaking on him, he always had terrible luck. He has been due to win a championship. He is a great driver and just needed the right car to do it.

F1 is insane. Some of the most talented drivers world, cornering crazy turns, at 200+ km/h.

Now I ask... how can people enjoy NASCAR? F1 is different, I tell you. Different tracks all the time. Lots of technicalities in the sport (if it can be called that).

its not over yet though. Apparently there is an investigation regarding 4th, 5th and 6th, saying they messed up some rules regarding fuel loads or something. Which if they get disqualified, hamilton gets bumped up to 4th, taking the championship.

He's got serious potential in the future, but yeah... he did really bad.

McLaren have 2 extremely talented drivers... however, they don't get on very well, and if Hamilton gets treated badly it may very well ruin his future

they'll take hamilton over alonso.
ron denis loves hamilton like his own son and no one at mclaren likes alonso and he's not liked that much in spain which reduces their merch sales considerably.  hamilton, on the other hand, is british and every brit wants to see him win.

Seriously? Are you retarded? He made a poor start and dropped one position to 3rd, Alonso made a clean pass on him, then Hamilton made a mistake going deep in turn 4 trying to pass Alonso. None of which would have affected his title hopes. The gearbox issue was the only thing that lost him the title (this race). He made his way back up to 7th, he was fairly close still. That being said, Raikkonen is a deserving Champion, 6 wins this year to Hamilton's and Alonso's 4. All of this wouldn't matter if fucking McLaren brought Hamilton in when they should have in China so he wasn't driving around on bald tyres.

Doubt it.....he has had one of the best rookie seasons of all time. He is the most tallented drivers in F1 today. Alonso/ Kimi/Micheal had never had a rookie season as good as he has. He does have a contract with Mercedies that he has to fill out, but he will have teams CLAWING for him. 

If he went to Ferrari.......that team would be unstopable, another Micheal for sure. He does need a team that will support him.  The next season schould be interesting for sure. He may try to break out of his contract......but that is too far to tell.

He is not going to Ferrari. Massa just renewed his contract through 2010. He will still be with McLaren, but Alonso will be gone, who actually ripped his team in an interview with Spanish Radio today, so he'll have more of a chance. Raikkonen definetely deserved it though. Great talent. He could have won early if it weren't for reliability problems earlier in the year. 

Also, don't be calling Hamy the next Shumi. Shumi was a superb talent. Best ever. 7 championships, almost 100 wins. And his first few years he was with really shitty teams, so that is why he didn't win. Think about it thouh. He brought Benneton (sp?) and Ferrari from the graves. They were nowhere before him.

Agreed, Ive only watched one and it was the Japan race with the rain and the finish for 2nd place was insane, I loved it.  And the race is tomorrow?  I thought it was on the weekend.
