Personally I wanted Alonso to be made to get out of Hamilton's way, but he never had a chance after his gearbox was spiked  >:(

Do you think his gearbox was played with?

Funny how he had very good reliability all season then the last race hes sat there coasting watching his title fly past him.

Yeah , i thought that.

I used to like him , thought he was a worthy champion , but have to agree with blundell, i thought the way he handled himself this season was childish and silly. If i was him and had won by my scheming antics , i wouldnt feel like a worthy champion. I would have felt like a cheat!

The race director must have thought the same thing, cos there was zero coverage of Alonso until the end.  Made for exciting viewing though, which is often lacking these days in F1.

Yeah.

Gone are the days of Senna and Prost wheel to wheel. Or was it Senna and Mansell wheel to wheel. Was only youngish when that happened.

it was the pc result, you cant let a twunt like alonso win it,you cant let a rookie in his first year win it as it devalues the championship (however much he deserved it)raikonnen was the compromise candidate.

I had the same debate in the pub today before the race and earlier last week e.g., for Hamilton to win in his first year could potentially throw the interest for next year off, it is a shame he did'nt win, and will make next season even more exciting to watch :y..........and on that point if Hamilton did win, would we be thinking that next season would be good to watch?

Don't know what happened with Hamilton but if he had been a bit slower last race and came in third for example he would have a big trophy now.

Bad weekend after the Rugby :(

A bad start

Dodgy gearbox for 40 seconds

Alonso didnt even try just coasting around the track

Bernie Ecclestones comment about Kimi will win before the race

McLaren been in trouble for silly things and they were going to win the Championship with one of their drivers,,That wouldnt look good..Just my thoughts.

isnt it just nice to see that crime dont pay for a change. the thieving gits
manufactured goods will always breakdown at some point, created by Ron Dennis and doomed by him to, I could think of others who would have turned in a better result from all that training. He will never be the chapionship winner.  This weekend a media debackle it needed a little bit more than words, and it was not there.
