First off Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton and Commiserations to Felipe Massa who must have been told he was world champion one second only to be told otherwise the next, Close one wasn't it, of course I'm talking about the Brazilian grand prix climax. I read with interest the mass amount of conspiracy theories as to why Glock was so slow on the last lap from he's driving for Mclaren next season even though Lewis and Heikki both have contracts to Glock is Lewis's best mate, all of them basically saying he had gifted the world championship to Lewis.
In a way he did but not because of some underhand means, it was by making the mistake, as did his teammate, of staying on dry tyres when it started raining, if you compare the sector times for the last lap his team mate in an identical car and the same tyres was actually slower through the middle sector, did he throw the race too and purposefully lose time? No of course they didn't.
It does make me laugh though Ferrari fans complaining and whining about dodgy decisions after Ferrari have gained on a few occasions this season from them, Bourdais in Japan as one example, Spa for another. Smacks a bit of Pot calling the kettle black.
In any case Well done Lewis a fully deserved title.
