What an unbelievable finish! Congrats to Massa for driving a perfect race (though rain has not been good to him). Congrats to Lewis for winning the championship!!!
Glock was on the drys YES and might have been struggling to stay on the track, but he still gave up the position. Hamilton has a very good friend in Timo!!!
Watch the finish below.
Looking forward to BMW's new car next year. I think Heidfeld needs to go.

Great job Lewis. 
Sorry Massa, better luck next year.
Put Alonso in the Ferrari and you won't have Massa making a messa of things. He is the definition of "inconsistency". A lot of wins and a lot of disappointments.
Looking forward to next season.

Dude was on dry tires just trying to keep it on the track. 
It's *very* strange all the same:
for me :
At the end doesn't matter, the most important thing is that Ferrari got the money for winning manufacturer championship.
Massa deserves to lose, because in many GPs he lost points in many stupid ways.
But I'm not the only one to don't love Hamilton: with him around I almost like Alonso.
Hope Vettel will run for us soon!

I think over the year Hamilton did a great job, and deserved to win. 
I think glock was just glad to stay on the track, and finish, seeing as he was on grooved tyres. You could see how Hamilton was struggling with the wet conditions, and he was on the intermediates, so it must of been a nightmare for Glock...
Still the result will keep the conspiracy theorists busy for a while...

I always watch the big one, the Indy 500. There is a lot of tradition and pagentry having been run for almost 100 years (since 1911). Indy is a 2 1/2 mile rectangle. They run 220-230mph foot to the floor most of the lap sometimes 3 wide. Half the other races are on ovals like Nascar, the others are on street courses. Most of the news centers on Danica Patrick, especially when she was a rookie and almost won the Indy 500. She finally won a race this year and no longer headlines every race.
Here is a link to a recent photo finish, never seen in F1 Chicagoland Indy Race and the Indy 500 highlights: Indy 500

Alonso is, was and will allways be a complete douche. Not more or less.
He is more talented than we are, but shouldn't be in F1.
The car got NOT better because of Alonsos feedback!
