Glock blatantly pulled over to hand Hamilton the title. I hope it gets investigatedThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Me too.Originally posted by zara_backdog View PostSorry, but I can't help but feel sorry for Massa.
He drove a perfect race while Hamilton needed some amazing luck at the end.
On the other hand, Hamilton should have won last year so I suppose it was his turn.
Sadly, I'm left with the feeling that it was a little too orchestrated. I think Hamilton deserves the championship, but I'm not convinced that it was all down to pure sport.
Mind you, I've had a lot of mulled wine so anything I've typed should be probably be ignored.Comment

Hamilton drives the best car and makes a meal of winning the championship. I would love to see Sebastian Vettle in the same car, he would trounce Hamilton, especially as he has beat him twice in a Torro Rosso.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Had it ben Alonso and not Glock then he would have pulled every trick in the book to prevent Hamilton win. Also Ferrari are loathed by the other teams because they use their power to manipulate the authorities to make the rules favour them, so quite possibly Glock pulled over because he preffered Lewis to win.
Hamilton has won the F1 championship fair and square. I know this is not fashionable (the "guiltys" cannot bear anyone British doing well) but I for one am delighted that he won.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I defy anybody who's just won the world championship not to make a meal of it!!! What a daft comment. And it's not always the best car - Ferrari have an advantage in several key criteria, as evidenced by the constructors championship they just won.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostHamilton drives the best car and makes a meal of winning the championship.

As to Vettel, I agree - but he has to do his time before one of the big teams will pick him up..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

WHS. Too close to call but if Hamilton hadn't been docked all those points he'd have won by a mile. Feel sorry for Massa though.Originally posted by Beefy198 View PostGreat ending.
Glock was on the wrong tyres at the end, simple as....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Even allowing for the fact that Glock had the worng tyres on when the final rain came, Hamilton could still have won it finishing 6th if it had not been for Raikkonen illegally letting Massa past him near the end of the previous GP.
Feck Ferrari anyway, they have manipulated the rules to their own ends plenty of times in the past. About time they missed out. Well done Lewis!!

Complete Bollux. Glock had the wrong tires and was struggling to control the car. His team mate Trulli who had the same tires had almost the same last lap time.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostGlock blatantly pulled over to hand Hamilton the title. I hope it gets investigated
Well down Lewis!
Now all we need is for those spoilt overpaid winkers in the footy team to show the same level of dedication and discipline as their counterparts in the olympics, paralympics, Hamilton in F1 etc have shown. Fat chance.Hard Brexit now!
