Doesnt take much with your obvious lack of knowledge postings on F1. Cant believe you try and kick a British champion down before the ink is dry on the records of it.

Sorry mate...it isn't a personal attack on Swiss Lewis, but I just find the sport very very tedious.

How can you say that if you have never got into it and got behind a team or driver you just have hatred on a English world champion is it jealousy? or just ignorance?

Fine, no problem, but some of us love it & tonight we have a British champ to celebrate. I for one think F1 is getting better & better but then again I have some close links to the Ferrari team and cant wait until they ring from Marrenello on Tuesday when they get back & when they recover so I can gloat

TBH I thought he'd blown it going into the final lap. It looked like Glock was pulling away after he overtook him. But going into the final corner onto the back straight I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A fantastic race.

BTW a little useless fact, its ironic that the last F1 season the BBC broadcast saw Damon Hill win the title in 1996. ITV have never seen a British title winner until today, their last race to be broadcast.

ITV have done a good job over the years, but I won't be missing the adverts mid race.

Bring on BBC HD. Think James Allan & Martin Brundle should do a swap as well, both excellent.

1. Hamilton and McLaren switched to intermediates when the rain came down
2. Glock didn't

Who are the biggest idiots of the day? Yes. you guessed it, Rob_Wire and Mr Angry Pants

The other thing that has been missed is that glock was driving a car with a Ferari team engine and also that the team Principle is Gerhard Berger an ex-ferari driver.

I think you have more chance of platting snot than glock being told to slow down.

Made up to have a British champion

Glock drives for Toyota and they are not powered by Ferarri engines, they are powered by their own Toyota engines. Torro Rosso with Vettel and Bourdais are powered by Ferrari engines along with the Force India team.

Nobody has said that Gock didn`t switch to intermediates, i certainly didn`t anyway. If you bothered to read a thread in full you would see the points that were being made, Hamilton should never have got himself into the position he did was my main point, he should have comfortably have been able to get 3rd spot without having to take any risks at all. Both him and his team almost lost the world title when given the car they had and the back up it should never have got to that point.

Thankyou for missing my point entirely.

What exactly is your gripe with the first British F1 champion for 12 years, who was driving the second best car all year?

Any excuse for a moan, that's all it is. Congratulate the man and drop it
