LEWIS!!!!!

[ashleyb4]

You should havelet him go man you where never getting past him like that

A

[Northy]

16th to 12th on one lap, awesome!
Did you see Davidson jump out of his way? Button and DC should do the same :D

G

[mattym0310]

no need for button to jump out of his way.. his car obviuosly wants to be beaten by him nd gave up on drive, :D. C'MON LEWIS!

[IceMike]

he is gettin there 2 slowly now. go go go lewis

[GRIFF55]

woo hoo 9th!!

[Body Paint]

I am starting to feel pesemistic, surely they must have fuelled lewis to the end... surely

[Lee]

Keep the faith,

Just like you did with the football and the rugny teams this week:wtf:

[budgio]

Go on my son :D
He,s doin ok

[MK999]

They fueled him for another stop because the stops at brazil only cost you around 20s or so, he *should* be lapping quicker than he needs to be, hopefully... slightly off topic, Rubens Barrichello: "best thing for it, is just burn this car to hell" :D

[IceMike]

Noooo dont pit

[MK999]

Hamilton just set the fastest lap of the race on a full tank, he's going for it, come on lewis !

[footey]

theres some strange team choices like no tyres last race 3 pits this one and is it poss that the team can turn things off on his car from in the pits:mad:

[James]

mclaren fuel situation??? have i missed something???
unreal... just nail it now lewis!!!!!

[budgio]

A sad sad week of sport this week:(

unless your Russian,South African or a Ferrari fan

[Body Paint]

aH, POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[footey]

ill say again some weired team decisions
:mad:

[MK999]

ill say again some weired team decisions
:mad:
made sense to me, lose little time by taking 3 short pit stops and run light and fast in between them, lewis preferred the harder tyres so they put those on instead of super softs for the last stint.

[footey]

still think a weird engine cut off on 7 laps

[MK999]

wasn't engine, if the engine cut off he'd be forced to retire. His gears either failed or he cocked up somewhere, could have accidently hit the clutch button for all we know.

[footey]

jut me been sinercull:(

[budgio]

At least Federer got beat in the tennis.
....
made me smile anyway;)

[losidan]

hard luck lewis.....u sure deserved the title no matter what that nob ecclestone says

[ashleyb4]

Well done kimi mass and lewis all great drives this season sorta feela bit sorry for massa he always seems to be giving stuff to kimi and lewis was still second ovarall which is an amazing achievment.

A

[looneylen]

what no championship

[c0sie]

Boring corrupt sport.

MotoGP is better

[_JP_]

there's always next year!

shame really, I think Mclaren screwed up on strategy a few times this year, I was surprised that he had 3 stops, still was a nail biting last race!

[josh_smaxx]

Boring corrupt sport.

MotoGP is better

No, 1/10th offroad is better :D

[Southwell]

Very unlucky for Lewis, deserved the title, I blame Mclaren for making that stupid decision last race, he should have won it. Also screwing up his fuel strategy, he could of won it otherwise!
Kimi was very strong second half of the season and never gave up.
Im just glad the crying baby that is Alonso didn't win.

[matt]

MotoGP is better
Thats was a good one today.

[Slimboyfat]

really unlucky for Lewis even the mistake would have still kept him in the hunt. Real shame about the gearbox problem but still a good season never the less.

[tc2k]

Well done kimi mass and lewis all great drives this season sorta feela bit sorry for massa he always seems to be giving stuff to kimi and lewis was still second ovarall which is an amazing achievment.

Raikkonen Legimitemately got in front of Massa after his pitstop :eh?:

Congratulations to Kimi, much rather he won than Alonso and all I can say about Lewis is he's going to be the best and its only a matter of when not if he will win the title.
I said before the rugby, if we lose the rugby, Hamilton will lose and vice versa. Terrible few days for british sport but all you can do is look forward :)

[albertobdq]

Hi you all.

Here, a forum "plaged" of british people opinions tend to be polarished, as it happens in spanish ones.

In my personal opinion Hamilton had bad luck with his gearbox and... he's completelly stupid!!!

Maybe he goes fast because his lack of brain makes him quicker. The maneuver at the first turn was stupid, a silly risky move from a reckness boy, not the kind of thing that you will expect from someone that has already the tittle winned. 4th position was perfectly ok for him and due his lack of vision he ended at the back of the field.

Definetivelly not very clever. He's fast, very fast, but not clever at all.

[tc2k]

TBH mate, the spanish have reputedly been exactly the same. Criticising Hamilton as the downfall of Alonso this season. I dont see how you can say 4th was enough and it was hamiltons fault, how was a gearbox problem his fault?
The reason the spanish are bitter is there main man, has been outperformed by a rookie, a 22 year old rookie who can only get better.

[MikePimlott]

Unlucky Lewis, Awesome tactics by ferrari cutting him out at start (T*8ts) shame really and when Alonso pushed his luck Lewis' head went i feel.

[tc2k]

Oh wel, hopefully Alonso will be confirmed as leaving McLaren soon and hopefully, Hamilton will get the team mate he deserves and Alonso will get the snivveling footservant he probably wants

[antnee]

if the prodrive deal does go ahead, they could have a all british team, lewis and button in the mclearen's and DC and davidson in the prodrives

[MK999]

Button could be quick next year, but i think he already said he wouldn't join McLaren as their 2nd best driver? Which although it sounds quite up himself, is understandable as any team where he is the top driver he will get the top treatment, only thing is, is joining a 'worse' team worth the better treatment or would the 2nd fastest car on the track be far better? I think the latter personally.

[antnee]

is latter is better but it is button we are talking about, the guy who is only interested in money now

[Southwell]

Looks like BMW are being investigated regarding a fuel irregularity, if they get excluded Hamilton would win the championship! :o

[AndyM]

bet it falls thru, even if this goes in hamiltons favour, its a horrid way to win

[MK999]

Looks like BMW are being investigated regarding a fuel irregularity, if they get excluded Hamilton would win the championship! :o

Where did you see this? Even if it's a horrid way to win it's no worse than what mclaren have been through this year, can't say that didn't affect lewis at all

[Southwell]

I would expect so too, Bernie is so pro Ferrari he would see to it.

BBC news a min ago, how true it is i don't know.

[antnee]

where does it say that?

[Southwell]

On the tv....they literally said it had just come up when they were live.

[ashleyb4]

I think if it did come to it i think lewis hamilton may say no and let kimi keep it he is that type of guy. Lewis has got alot of life left in him and many world championships where kimi had been about for a while

A

[AndyM]

thats what i wud do;):cool:

[Southwell]

Well McLaren wouldn't say no, it's all business. Apart from the fact he would be ahead on points, that would make him the champ.

Now on formula1.com, Williams involved too.

http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2007/10/7023.html

[matdodd]

Lewis Hamilton could yet be crowned world champion after Brazilian Grand Prix stewards summoned representatives of BMW Sauber and Williams for alleged technical irregularities.


A BMW spokeswoman told Reuters that the investigation concerned fuel temperatures.

Williams driver Nico Rosberg finished fourth, with BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld fifth and sixth respectively.

Should they be disqualified, Hamilton would be promoted to fourth place, enough to see him crowned as world champion.

Kimi Raikkonen won the race and, should the orginal result stand, claimed the world title by one point from both Hamilton and his McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso.

More to follow...

.....corrupt sport

[matdodd]

Very... although theres no way the powers that be will let something go against Ferrari!

[mattym0310]

does any1 know if honda are havin sponsors on their new car?? or if they're staying "green"

[antnee]

does any1 know if honda are havin sponsors on their new car?? or if they're staying "green"
would you want to sponser honda?

[DCM]

who would want to sponsor those cars?? heehee

[AndyM]

would you want to sponser honda?

he cant afford to keep his lil r/c car running, let alone sponsor a F1 team :wtf::p

[telboy]

I don't think lewis wuld want to win it in this way either....but.... would you want to finish 4,5,6, knocwing that your cars were illegal? If they cheated then...tough!

It would be a shame for Kimi though.

I would expect so too, Bernie is so pro Ferrari he would see to it.
I think its Max Mosely that pro ferrari,(I'm sure money changes hands with the FIA), bernie usually goes for anything that makes things good for the sport, as its him that brings all the money men to the sport for the TV coverage etc.

[matdodd]

Well this may come as a suprise but :

The BMW Sauber and Williams teams have escaped penalty after being investigated by Brazilian Grand Prix stewards over fuel irregularities on their cars at the end of Sunday’s Interlagos race.

Under Formula One racing’s technical regulations fuel temperatures are not allowed to fall more than 10 degrees Celsius below ambient air temperature at any time. According to FIA data, Williams and BMW Sauber exceeded this range during the race, but after lengthy deliberations stewards chose not to impose sanctions.

However, McLaren are expected to appeal the stewards' decision, which if overturned could have serious implications for the 2007 drivers' championship.

Nico Rosberg finished fourth for Williams, with Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld fifth and sixth respectively for BMW Sauber. If they were to be disqualified, Lewis Hamilton would move up to from seventh to fourth, giving him enough points to beat Kimi Raikkonen to the title.

;)

[Southwell]

Im sorry but the rule was broken, it should be clear cut. They just don't want to cause an uproar.

I think its Max Mosely that pro ferrari,(I'm sure money changes hands with the FIA), bernie usually goes for anything that makes things good for the sport, as its him that brings all the money men to the sport for the TV coverage etc.


Yes, but even Bernie said before the start he want Kimi to win. Sure he might be very good for the sport on the track but off he lacks any kind of emotion and is extremelly boring to listen to.
Still im not suprised that Ferrari came from being beaten in both championships to walking away with the lot!

[Northy]

It will have been Bernies plan all along - to quote Stu.

There will be no penalties, it would look to messy and Bernie won't allow it. He smooth things over ;) behind closed doors (i'm sure he bats for the other side) :rolleyes:

[ashleyb4]

(i'm sure he bats for the other side) :rolleyes:
G


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA would that be ferrari????

A

[Nick Goodall]

I don't think anything will come of it - but if it had been 3 or 4 races back i think it would be a different story - they wouldn't be directly affecting the championship so would have been brave enough to enforce the rules unlike this weekend they'll be too scared to rock the boat and throw F1 even deeper into controversey.

Shame for Lewis but McLaren have really cost him the title this year, not his errors or decisions - i think they'll learn from it and next year as long as they build a good car he'll take some beating.

Oh yeah and that Donkey faced Spanish tool will be leaving for Renault all being well so i'm sure all will be glad to see the back of him after this year, i don't think anyone had him down as such a c0ck until he proved them otherwise in 2007 :rolleyes:

[ashleyb4]

Mclaren should have coulthard back next year he has proved with some of his drving this year he is capable or koverlinen stuff button he is shit.

A

[Southwell]

If Honda build a good car then i think Jenson could do very well. He is renowned for having a very smooth driving style and throttle control which could be a big plus with traction control going next year!
Coulthard is contacted to Red Bull anyway, plus they seem to have taken a big leap in the last few races.
Heikki is probably the top to replace Alonso IF he leaves. I can see him going to Toyota for big bucks and then trying to get them to the top.

[DCM]

I admire Jenson for sticking by Honda, but maybe he is getting to the point, like Coulthard, where 'competitive' drives are very much harder to come by, so best sticking where he is. Red Bull got Adrian newey now, so that will make things better, be good to see Coulthard up there again, and Button.

next year will sort the good from the bad with no traction control.

[DCM]

Im sorry but the rule was broken, it should be clear cut. They just don't want to cause an uproar.



Yes, but even Bernie said before the start he want Kimi to win. Sure he might be very good for the sport on the track but off he lacks any kind of emotion and is extremelly boring to listen to.
Still im not suprised that Ferrari came from being beaten in both championships to walking away with the lot!

From what I understand, Kimi is a party animal and believes that when at a race, he is there to promote the team and sponsors, but away from the team, his life is his own and wants to party (Eddie Irvine rings a bell there lol). Alonso spits his dummy, and sometimes hamilton comes across more cheesy than one of G's sarnies lol.

[Southwell]

He does party a lot, but theres no need to be so robotic at the races. Hamilton is like he is because he has been in front of the cameras for years and grew up promoting Mclaren.

[MattADH]

It kind of sums up this year's F1 season with the fuel issues at the last race.

I hope Prodrive do get it together for next year - another two cars on the grid has to be good but I cant see it happening unless someone steps in to support them, what with Williams challenging the ruling on customer cars in the courts.

It made me smile though when watching the run-up to the event that I made it on to the TV from when I was karting at Buckmore Park. Lewis had a camera on his kart supplied by McLaren which came off and wrapped itself round the rear axle!!!

[loose]

Seperated at birth - Lewis Hamilton - Theo Walcott.

F1 has more cheats than the Olympic 100 metres final and the Tour de France put together.

MotoGP all the way!

I'm a MASSIVE Moto Gp fan, however i am also ever so slightly a ferrari fan, so I have no complaints at present Lee, (other than Rossi wasn't on the Desmosedici :D:D)
