Just out of A+E!
That was one helluva way to end the season, and that last lap was probably the most exciting F1 lap since Senna went from 4th to 1st in the rain drenched opening lap of the 1993 GP at Donington.
Best race Ive seen for a long time, and fantastic to see Lewis become World Champion!

I was already on my way into the kitchen in a foul temper so I missed the end bit. When the wife shouted me back she almost got K.O.d because I thought she was joking, It just goes to show that Itīs not over ītill the fat lady sings. But Iīm convinced that F1 is a circus with results fiddled by stewards to make it all VERY exciting up until the end of the season because there have been times that certain decisions have influenced something that could have already been decided half -way through the season.

Good job, I was rooting for him. I was at the Montreal race when he crashed in pit lane, I was really crushed - the race was over for me at that point, he had been dominating up to the crash, once he was out it was just a race between the also-rans.

Is Lewis Hamilton the STIG?
You never see them together.

Was nap time here and I was jumping up and down trying not to make any noise watching Glock slip and slide and Hamilton make his pass. Wonderful result and a great beginning to the week!
