thats cruel. so cruel :'(


Someone forgot to tell the Ferrari pit that it isn't over 'til the fat lady sings. And that fat lady was Timo Glock's tyres.



Brilliant. :)

Indeed, unfortunatly young Glock lost 3 seconds in the last sector that trulli didn't, inexperience maybe. But oh well.

I was quite happy to accept it up to the last few laps, He had the title won based on what he had to do, cant argue with that.

But now that just has to be the cruelest way to take it from Massa. :'(


As Massa has just said in the press conference "That's racing!!"

Indeed, I sometimes think racing is harder and more emotional for the fans than the drivers.

As a seperate issue. I really think Anthony Hamilton needs to pull his head out. Of course the Brazilian fans are going to boo, has he honestly no clue about how these things work, away teams get boo'ed in football cricket baseball basketball hell every other sport, why should it be suddenly wrong in F1?

As a premier member of the Lewis love fest, I do have to agree with you Craig, but that is racing

Thats just the cruelest way to end it.

It's been one spectacular season and would have been even if Massa had won the title. Some fantastic close nail biting racing ..... and the title was won on the track not with some technical infringement or cock up.

I was sad to see Coultard dumped off on the first corner in his final race but I'm really happy to see the back of ITV.

Yes, but there is a somewhat large racial element to the reaction. Maybe he should have a chat with a couple of footballers to see how it is dealt with.

On a lighter note, may I be the first to Welcome the BBC coverage of next years season and NO ADVERTS [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

On darker note >:( I have to wait until the repeat of Top Gear on Wednesday because of Come Strictly f#*king Dancing >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :'(

Myself and Mrs C were just saying that maybe it's time, now Lewis is WC, for Anthony to take a bit of a step back and let Lewis do his thing as Lewis does it. He's just a little too protective of a 23 year old IMO.

No, there might have been in spain at the test but in general like today I think he might just find it happens to be because 90% of the crowd were brazillian hoping the brazillian guy would have won it :) oh well.

Cant you watch top gear online?
