and all respect to Alonso he said: it was nice winning in 2006 when Michael Schumacher was still in the race! That is what the 2005 2nd WCH said, so gracias Alonso!

Grazie Michael

Congrats! Nice race.
Schumy was magical in this race!

I am very interested about the engine he had vs the one from Japan. How much different it was? How much more powerfull. WOW!

Congrats to him for still making a nice retirement despite the bad luck, aka engine reliability and tire punctures. Congrats to Alonso for a well deserved title and a mature approach.

PS: I have a feeling that MS will be back in 2008. We'll see!

It is simply amazing watching Schumacher race. Proves he is still THE best driver of current F1.

An amazing performance by Ferrari today, albeit MS's bad luck. Hope Raikonnen and Massa can bring Ferrari back to the top next season

it was an incredible race...after the second pit stop even with him fully loaded he was laping 1m.12s., thats what others were laping without fuel... shows what F1 will be missing... one of the greatest drivers of all time.. even if he lost the race/championship, it was a great way to go.. congrats for massa for wining 1st gp...
im sorry i still cant bring myself to say congrats to alonso for the championship. weather i like it or not hes the 2006 champ..

...and he deserves it.

Congratulations to Schumacher. He's got to be the best driver in recent motorsport history and will be missed on the track. His performance this weekend was breathtaking just watching him climb up the ladder. Although he didn't win this season, I think he is still ending his career on a high note.

Looks like there was nothing Ferrari or Renault could do to keep their drivers for the '07 season.

Alonso wanted more money and a challange to move to a lower team, but also the MM guys did the best they could to bring the second hispaniol in the team. Alonso also will be more than happy to have Pedro DLR with him in the team.

On the other hand MS found itself in a weird conjuncture. From what i understood Massa was already certified for next season while SF had signed with Kimi. So SF could have dumped Massa paying him but MS would have never felt confortable with a driver about the same ability as him, he always had second pilots aka shadow pilots. And i think he also wanted to have a brake, probably next year comming back. I for one really wish he comes back although i don't like him, his driving skills are unquestionable and that's always a good thing in F1.

I would have liked to know more about the engine that Ferrari delivered into MS's car. Whas the same engine (not necesary the same level of tune) but was the same 2007 engine in Massa's car? Hmmm... How many teams had the new engines installed for the last race? Are they allowed to do that, is it a must? I know for sure bmw didn't have a new engine.
I'm asking because the rate those Ferraris were going is simply astonishing. Both Massa and MS really flew. And did you see the top speeds at the trap?! If i recall i saw a top speed from MS of 317km/h when the next speeder had only 309km/h. That is part of the driving style, sure but...that engine really delivered...when it could
