What utter balls Rob. He finished with more points than Massa over the course of a season. Your opinion on how Massa would have gotten on in a McLaren car is pure guesswork.

Oh right, thanks for pointing out the above. I won`t bother going into the technical stuff then as to what team has the better chassis, which car has the better straight line speed and which car is suited to the majority of tracks in F1, also which car has been dominating qualifying and pole position etc. Motor sport is probably my first sport as i`m into rallying and F1 but you will know more than me as usual so i will stop talking utter balls again.

If Glock doesn`t slow down suddenly then Lewis Hamilton has blown it for the 2nd successive year in a row, i`m well happy we have a british world champion but i`m sure even Ron Dennis will quietly say to himself that Lewis Hamilton almost blew it again. Hamilton`s fate was out of his own hands today and that shouldn`t have been the case with the machinery and support thats been given to him, oops here i go again talking utter balls.

What on earth are you going on about now? All I said was

Hamilton deserved to win the World Championship; and
Your opinion on whether Massa would have won in a McLaren is a guess.

I couldn't give a shiny one what your 'first sport is'. You claimed that the youngest ever Formula 1 world champion, who very nearly won it in his debut year, who got more points than anyone else, who worked since he was a kid to lift that title, didn't deserve it. That is ridiculous Rob and you're making yourself look a complete fool by trying to argue otherwise.

Massa DIDN'T race in a McLaren. The technical info is irrelevant, unless you have a time machine, it's guess work.

You are talking utter balls and you know it. And no one gives a shiny one what your first sport is.

Glock didnt just slow down to let Hamilton pass him. He was far slower on the last lap because he had dry tyres and it was pi$$ing down.

The other thing you are conveniently forgetting is that Hamilton was very comfortable in 4th until the tactical decision to change tyres was made. This ended up putting pressure on him but worked out in the end otherwise Hamilton could have found himself in Glocks position of struggling on the last lap and a half.

I'm disgusted that people who appreciate such a fine sport as RL, watch the durge that is F1.

If you know about F1 then you will know how much time Glock lost in the final lap due to him being on dry tyres when it was pissing down. he lost 18 seconds on dry tyres, nothing to do with he let Hamilton through. Glocks team chose the wrong option. If it had not rained again, Hamilton would have cruised home. Hamilton did nearly blow it, god knows how much pressure he was under to bring that home today but he did it in the end.

Well done Lewis

I think this is what most non-fans don't get about F1.....

Look, Hamilton may be a good driver, but ultimately the fact he is in the best car is the major factor, so why all the glory for Swiss Lewis? (or whoever happens to win).

Let's be honest, however good Swiss Lewis is, if me and him had a race, and he was in a Ford Fiesta, and I was in a Porsche, I reckon I'd whoop his candyass, which would make me World Champ??..

That bit doesn`t suprise me one bit coming from you as you seem to think that you are some some sort of representative of your cliquey mates on here, the spokesperson so to speak that when he speaks its the casting word. Its comedy to be honest, you come across as the usual keyboard gobsh1te that this forum has in abundance.

Erm, the Ferrari has been the better car over the season, consistently taking poles, fastest laps etc . Where the Merc is better is in the wet or certainly Lewis was. If Schumacher or even Alonso had been in the Ferrari, who would have you put your money on .

But again, it comes down to the car....If ALL the drivers were in the same car would Swiss Lewis still come out on top??

Damon Hill once won the title, beating Schumacher, yet let's be honest, Hill wasn't fit to wipe the German's backside....it was down to the car.

My main gripe isn't against Swiss Lewis personally, its the superstar status these guys attain, when its actually the car doing all the work.
