Lewis does it, just...

...what a nail biting finish to the season, two corners from the end and it was all over for Lewis then Glock slowed (he had remained on dry tyres when it rained a few laps from the finish) and Hamilton managed to pass him to reclaim 5th place, all he needed to win the championship by one point!
Well done Lewis and congrats to Massa too for driving a superb race and a well deserved win.

It was a great race - well the first and last lap! Bernie could not have planned the tension better if he had tried

Just a mention for David Coulthard who bowed out - shame he never got past the first lap but a brilliant driver none the less. Hope to see him on BBC next year.

I think we have to take our hat off to Maclaren spotting Lewis at such a young age and sponsoring him through the early years.
Well done to all more of the same for next year.
Jurgen and Sue

Not sure of the details or if it valid but apparently there has been a complaint made against the car!

Lewis was indeed having difficulty re-fitting his steering wheel after he had got out of the car, I thought to myself then 'I hope that Ferrari/The Stewards don't penalise him over this'. I wonder if this is what the alleged complaint is?

Damm, they sussed out it had 4 wheels and and engine. I knew they would get found out sooner or later.
Lewis is chanpiom, there would be war if they took it away now. I did notice however some 'unsafe pit lane releases' in this race but I do not seem to recall any penalties this time.....strange[:?]

Noticed that myself, funny how the interpretation of the rules seem to change depending on which team you're in isn't it?
