So pleased. No personality. World class sport I want an Alex Higgins Steve Ovett type some excitement!

[mygiddypant]

Surely better to have a racing finish rather than the safety car being first? Very exciting ending, except that it probably won't end today as Mercedes will bring in the expensive men in suits.

Quite happy Hamilton didn’t win .he’s an environmental hypocrite.

Maybe he is but that wasn’t the rules. So I guess your happy for cheats to prosper then ?

not usually but I’ll make an exception for Hamilton. Same question to you , if smith dove for a pen in the last minute winning the game say against Wigan at home, you presumably would be up in arms shouting at smith. Not .

Perfectly put

[Back of the net]

So basically Hamilton deserves to be cheated because people don’t like him ?

Would people tell there kids it’s ok for people to get cheated if you don’t like em.

Amazing principles to be passed on.

Didn't Hammy get a generous decision on the first bend.
Presumably that manoeuvre was allowed to stand so that there was a race spectacle and it added to the excitement.

Well your morals of I’ll make exception for Hamilton pretty much answers my initial thoughts.
Very noble indeed!!

Absolutely gutted the way Lewis lost the title. You have to say though Max has raced very well this season.

Initially, I thought for a split second on turn 6 of lap 1 Max had gone for a deliberate t-boner to end the race there and then. If it wasn't for Lewis' lightening reactions there surely would have been a collision.

As for the 11 second lead and someone loses it with 6 laps to go, you couldn't write that would happen. Max was never going to catch Lewis and he knew that. Lewis raced superbly all day and then that happened.

As for the calamity of the stewards initially saying lapped cars couldn't overtake then changing their minds 30 seconds later allowing Max to get right up behind Lewis on fresher tyres smacked of a fix. Disgusted at the stewards for that. It was obvious what was about to unfold as Max shot past him. A shocking end to a race and denying a true potential new world record holder standing proud.

No problem with a fair winner. It's been over the season that max and Horner have been moaning about unfair treatment and the "why me" treatment.
Whoch ever side of the fence your sitting, MV has cheated his way to the title. Sadly he didn't need to as he's a tremendous driver.
Hamilton was booed by the crowd yesterday. He got tremendous cheers today and they All know he should be 8x world champ, even though some are happy he's not.
