Yep!

Excellent!!!





I really wanted Hanilton to win it, so that Alonso loses the title "youngest F1 champion ever", but in the end I am very satisfied with Ferrari winning it all!


Congrats from one Iceman to another Iceman.

Well done!

McLaren didn't cheat. Ferrari and McLaren both had corrupt employees. Ron Dennis himself was the one who, once the "new" evidence was uncovered (as soon as Alonso allegedly suggested that he knew aspects of the Ferrari data), turned over everything to the FIA . As a team, McLaren behaved impeccably, they did the right thing and paid a high price. I don't believe Ron knew much about this, and Alonso, in my view, dropped him in it - just as Ron will drop Alonso for next year.

I don't know in UK, but here the entrepreneur is responsible for his employees .

Anyway, too many cheats from McLaren this season, not only the spy story .

Tough weekend for the UK - first loose the World Cup then Hamiliton chokes! Congrats Kimi - great win - you deserve it. I would guess the most satified person was Alonso!

So would you care to explain how Ferrari got off the hook - it appears that it was their corrupt employee that stole the data in the first instance? Perhaps this "responsibility" thing works a little different in Italy

yea.. Mclaren are the cheaters this year. they were accused twice. Its good that KIMI won, i really think the best driver won, espically the way alonso and hamilton have been acting...
but seems the championship is still in question,,.,,
BMW and williams are under a fuel invistigation.. if they are disqaulified hamilton wins the championship...

Which, in case you failed to notice first time around, were stolen by a Ferrari employee and whose existence was not known to McLaren management until after the initial hearing.
