most annoying sport ever. lol

but my family love it so i cna just about bare it for them

After this race in Interlagos someone would say that F1 is boring .... I'll eat my hat... That's the most exciting sport in the world. How could you say it in advance that after 8 months, after 18 races, after thousands of kilometres of racing we'll know who'd be the champion in the last 1 km!!! :shock: Haha the rain did it again! OMG!

it's just the sound of the cars, it's painful to hear lol 'brummmmmmmm brum bruuum brummmm'

what makes you girls love it so much?? seriously.

Oh, the sounds of these cars are amazing!!! You should hear it live!!! OMG! That's the best!

We do like this sport very much. We find it very exciting! I have been a F1 fan for more than 20 years!!! It's not just about the cars going in a circle. If you dig in it deeply you would understand us. It's more about strategies, it's more about a team spirit. It's true that a driver drives the car but he has to have the best car and the best team. Everything should be fine in a race so that the pilot could be the winner. But that is just one race. The season has at least 17 or 18 races. So if you wanna be the champion of F1 you must be very very, super talented, you must be very lucky, you must have the best team around you, you must have the best car which is fast and reliable enough. OMG! I cannot explain it, it's very complex!



This race was like a movie, it had a beginning (with rain), a middle (exciting race) and an ending (with rain again). :lmao: It was really a Thriller, don't you think? :wink: For Felipe and for Hamster most definitely.

That was very emotional for Felipe and definitely for Hamster as well. I'm not happy that Hamster has won it, I would not have been satisfied either way. Felipe did a good job though almost the whole year long, I must admit.

I'm happy that Kimi became 3rd in overall in the championship, happy that he could help the team and his team mate (it was not up to him whether Felipe could have won it or not), and happy that Ferrari could win at least the Constructors' title.

I'm really sorry for Felipe that now I really did understand that how lucky Kimi was last year. It could have happened to Kimi last year also. I don't remember well but there was also big fight between Kubica and Rosberg for positions (4th-5th) in the last laps and they could have crashed... OMG!

I feel empty because that was the last race of the season and God knows how much I'll miss this. I'll miss Kimi, I'll miss the excitement, I'll miss the waiting, I'll miss to see this amazing sport, I'll miss to hear the sounds of the engines, everything.

I'm really proud of Kimi because he proved this year several times that he's a great supporting driver and a good team member (despite what the media have been thinking). I hope that they at Ferrari would appreciate this. Also they could have not won the title hadn't there been the results and work of Kimi too. So afterall, Kimi is champion again, as a Ferrari team member.

It's a pity that he couldn't set the fastest lap, so he has 10 this year (like he had in 2005 and Schumi in 2004).

HaHa! In your face! W00t! Hamilton FTW!

 

[The One.]

I felt so so so bad for Massa. I still do. I admit, I cried when I watched the race. First because of joy because I thought Massa had won it. Then of sorrow because Hamilton had this amazing luck.
That look on Massa's father face when he was told that Massa didn't win the title.. it was heartbreaking!
I never thought I would get that emotional watching the race because I thought I don't care who wins but I hate that Hamilton will be called a 'world champion' from now on. I hate that he is the youngest champion ever. I'm sorry but I can't congratulate Hamilton. I still think his attitude during this season doesn't deserve the title.

It was good race though. Next year will be so much better for Ferrari and for Kimi. Can't wait for it.



ps. Massa's lil brother is cute. Hehe.

I understand you Hanna though I didn't cry. I could have cried of joy last year when Kimi has won it finally. But I didn't do it last year. I was so excited and surprised that it could happen finally that I think I forgot to cry... I remember I had that HUGE grin on my face the whole night and I just couldn't sleep.

Now, I felt emptiness... I can't congratulate to Hamster also. I still can't decide which result would have been better. I'm not happy at all.

I just hope next year would be more successful for my Kimi.

It seems Kimi and Massa get on well with each other. I can see it in the pictures. I feel that maybe their relaitonship is closer and warmer than it used to be.

PS: I also think Massa's little brother is cute. I like him more (as a man) than Massa.

I think it was after the GP yesterday. They were celebrating the winning of the WCC IMO. They always have the same kind of pics when they finish on the 1st place after the races.

My mother told me that it was so funny that Kimi drank all the lemonade during the interview. He must have been very thirsty!!! :lol:

He was so lovely when he pat Felipe's back on the podium. He did it last year also but with different feelings... OMG! Have you noticed? Kimi almost fell off the podium while doing it :lol: I think he might lost his balance or so and Felipe held him for a second. It was funny... :lol: You can see it in one of the pictures I posted in one of my previous posts.

I still haven't get over it that Hamilton is now a champion.

I try not to think about it. I wish the next season would begin already. But as Kimi said, now that F1 season ends, ice hockey season starts!!!

He was so lovely when he pat Felipe's shoulder on the podium. He did it last year also but with different feelings... OMG! Have you noticed? Kimi almost fell off the podium while doing it :lol: I think he might lost his balance or so and Felipe held him for a second.

LOL hehe yeah I notice now.. Massa looked so sad on the podium I've never felt so bad for him before.

I can't think about Hamilton is the world champion.... :sad:

You know it's just a photo. Just a moment. In a second you can smile while in the other you can cry. There is a similar pic after France GP when Kimi lost the 1st place still he was able to smile (sort of). I think Massa was more than dissapointed but he was glad for the team. Though the team is to blame I think. It's true that Massa had some bad races (Australia, Malaysia and Silverstone) but he has stunning ones like Turkey, Bahrain, Hungary, Valencia and this one also. Hadn't there been the reliability problem in Hungary and the "snake thing" in Singapore... he would have been the champion. But we can't do anything and as Kimi would say crying won't help. Massa knows it, I think he proved it to himself, to the team and to thousands of doubters that he really is a good driver.

I try not to think about it. I wish the next season would begin already. But as Kimi said, now that F1 season ends, ice hockey season starts!!!

Good that you have ice hockey, I don't have anything to cheer for. I know now why Kimi waited for F1 season's end... because of the ice hockey season! He could watch as many matches as he wants to...:cheeky:

LOL hehe yeah I notice now.. Massa looked so sad on the podium I've never felt so bad for him before.

Yeah, me too. It was so sad. How he cried in his car was really emotional. Kimi tried to cheer him up because he lost it 2 times before! He knows it very well how bad a feeling it is.

 

[tinker*bell]

Oh My God!!!
What was that race?!? So good!!

Of course I didn't like the result, I wanted Massa to win. But the adrenaline... The whole atmosphere... The excitment...

Ok, maybe next year...

yeah, it was more than exciting. I have been watching F1 races for about 20 years but I haven't seen such thing before. Even Schumacher said he hasn't seen such ending before... I feel sorry for Massa, if he couldn't be the champion then it would have been better if the rain hadn't been there. So he would settle down for winning the race and not winning the WDC. In the last 3-4 laps he could feel that he could achieve it. It was heartbreaking to see him crying and seeing his dad after he realised that his son is not the world champion...

 

[Kinga]

Should I say that if I can be, I'm more prouder of Kimi this year than last year when he's won the title magically. He's there to win, to be on the top of the podium. He's not there to be Nr.2 driver, a supporting one, still he did it silently in a humble way. For the team, which helped him his dream come true. How he pat Massa's back on the podium, it was very emotional. He wanted to say him some nice words since he knows it very well how does it feel to lose. He got to experience it twice in his life before. It was so painful to watch, I nearly cried. I almost cried because Kimi showed me his true side this year. I adore him more than ever before. He really is an emotional and warm-hearted person without ice...:wub:

Here's an amazing review about this race and about Kimi. It's worth to read! I agree with that 100000%!!!

I couldn't believe that Massa was literally the champion when he crossed the line. I was laughing. I wanted to cry for him. I realised at that moment my heart wanted Massa to win in the end. I felt it doesn't matter if he's Kimi's teammate, it doesn't matter because compared to Hamilton on credit (penalties and behaviour) Massa was superior. I knew somehow Hamilton wouldn't earn anything at Brazil, yet again. He finished off the podium after such a strong win in China. What's that all about. Not exactly a glorious way to win a championship was it. The images of both Ferrari and McLaren garages celebrating was terrible and Massa crying on the team radio was heart breaking. Massa tasted a part of what Kimi felt at Spa. Going to heaven and falling back down to hell in a matter of seconds. But in a way, it was balanced between the two sides. It was extremely close between Massa and Hamilton all year. Both had their fair share of rubbish races and mistakes. So whoever would have won, deserved to because it's about the points at the end of the day. The championship is based on points only, nothing more. It was good that Massa had Kimi and Alonso beside him on the podium, it was his moment no matter if Hamilton became the champion.

Away from all the madness and spotlight shared between Hamilton and Massa, I saw Kimi. My champion. Always was and always will be. I felt relieved for Kimi that he was just witnessing the tears, the smiles, the mixed emotions. He's had enough of those already this year. The out-going world champion was on the podium though, as I said before, and that's the best thing I can take from this ending. He was there to take reward again for: being the champion here last year, for bringing Ferrari back into the constructors lead at Fuji, for giving the team full support in the last two races when needed, and most of all being there for Massa. I know some of you aren't keen on the Brazilian, but he did give Kimi his win last year for the championship. But Massa cried as he parked in parc ferme. He had no one there apart from Stefano Domenicali, physically near him, to say "it's alright, you did a great job, well done". Backstage of the podium, words must have been exchanged between Alonso, Kimi and Massa, but facing the fans and all the cameras with the heavy dark clouds above you isn't easy. So Kimi rested his hand on Massa's shoulder during the anthems with some words. The support Massa received there was amazing and no doubt it helped him to compose himself better in the press conference. He spoke really well and I have much more respect for Massa after this.

Back to the main story; Hamilton, on becoming the youngest world champion in Formula One's history. Wow. Credit to the dude and McLaren. The team call him special. Perhaps. He's really quick and he's good at reaching targets well and doing more. That's a talent. But I don't agree that he's special (obviously, Kimi's the special one of the lot to me!) because regardless of his position, he joined one of the best racing teams in Formula One for his debut. His car was immediately competitive despite such a lacklustre and winless season in 2006 (where Kimi out-performed the car). He has not suffered a single reliability problem. Kovalainen took the first blow of reliability in the previous race. That's not Hamilton's fault, that he's got such an awesome car. The team McLaren have done an amazing job with the car, and for me, it's their victory as much as it's Hamilton. Yet, McLaren still failed to win the constructors despite rival Ferrari having uncharacteristically poor reliability all season through, as well as management control hiccups. So, in my opinion Ferrari lost the driver's title and McLaren collected the pieces, notably at Singapore. And Hamilton fans can think whatever they like about this because presumably most of them don't have a clue how McLaren were before Hamilton came along.

After following McLaren since Kimi's career in F1 started, I always had a soft spot for them. I cheered for them like mad, a few years ago believe it or not. The past two years though, they were the opponent. Kimi spent 5 years in McLaren, hoping to become world champion there after just one year in F1 with Sauber. McLaren took on Kimi at first sight buying out his Sauber contract, because they also knew he was special. The mission failed in the end. McLaren were competitive, the only continuous threat to Ferrari, but they were also in a rough patch with their reliability records at their worst. Everyone made a huge roar when Hamilton scored a 3rd place, a podium, in his first ever F1 race. Nevermind the considerable amount of experience he had in GP2 and earlier series. Kimi on the other hand had only 23 professional races to his name when he came to F1. After one year at Sauber, he scored a 3rd place in his first race with McLaren too. So, with less experience and in an average car at Sauber, Kimi did just as good, if not better. The following races after his first podium included 5 DNFs, that's the kind of poor reliability and struggle that defines a driver and Hamilton hasn't experienced any of this. Then in remaining races where the car was okay, Kimi scored top 4 finishes in 2002, missing out on his first win at France due to oil on the track.

Kimi and Alonso were actually the first 'young guns' setting off this early trend in F1. The following years, F1 brought in younger talents, thanks mainly to the increase of financial interest and therefore sponsorship for drivers. McLaren aided Hamilton in all his career before F1, so obviously him winning the title as soon as possible is paying the favour back. It is now, that he faces the true challenge of F1. Infact, he's completely missed the challenges of F1 as Kimi, Button, and Alonso have, and jumped straight to the top. He's still got plenty to learn and my opinion of Hamilton hasn't changed: he's a damn quick fellow but so are five others F1 drivers at least in his range if not better, they're just in different cars. The difference between a special driver and a normal quick driver is what they can do with the differences in their car. Hamilton has maintained a 100% reliable car, suited to his style since the very beginning and also with a team 100% behind him and only him. McLaren disregarded their interest for the constructors title a few races back, despite always using Kovalainen for the 'teams' goal. Obviously, this means the teams goal always was to get Hamilton the driver's world championship. What they were financing for 10 years was for Hamilton's success. And they only got it by one point. They're going to have to try much harder next year if they think he can do it again. I seriously doubt it. Good luck, Mr Youngest F1 World Champion!

Now tha 2008 is done and dusted, we can finally turn the page and close this chapter and look forward to 2009. It was a year full of excitement, controversy, joy, sadness, compromise, triumph and defeat. Kimi's title defense didn't go to plan but we are better prepared for payback time. I want to say thanks to Kimi for just being Kimi.

In my opinion, saying 'Massa tasted a part' is belittled. In my own opinion, what happened to Massa was worse than what happened to Kimi at Spa. Of course
it was not nice at all what happened to Kimi but it was just one race. This, instead, was abut world champion and it was so close.

I totally agree on that (though I'm not giving them credit :scratch. Plus Hamilton's attitude.


And I cried reading this. Again. LoL.

isn't this just heartbreaking photo..

Felipe Massa says he experienced the longest few seconds of his life after he crossed the finish line of the Brazilian Gp. He had to wait for information about the fate of World Championship about 40 seconds.​

Massa came to the finish line victorious, but the World Cup titleholder's fate depended increasingly on would Lewis Hamilton be able to stand up fifth place, in front of Timo Glock. Massa was a full-time radio contact with race engineer Rob Smedley.​

- After crossing the finish line, Rob said to me, 'Calm down, calm down, because I need to verify Lewis' situation. " Then I drove to corner number one and it lasted forever to hear the result. Then the time for second corner and I was told again to "wait a minute, he is fighting against Glock." Then, when I got to corner three they told me, 'OK, he overtook Glock, so ... But you did a good job anyway", Massa told about the championship changing for second place.




GEez and I will get over this NOW.​

Sorry, I wouldn't say he was more consistent than Massa. Both made big mistakes during this season. Massa: Australia, Malaysia, Silverstone, Hamilton: Bahrain, CANADA :bugeyed, Spa. Massa couldn't make it more because of the team's mistakes and unreliability. Australia, Hungary - engine blew up, Singapore - awful mistake during the fuelling. The more consistent driver (who didn't make mistakes) was Kubica IMO. The problem was that he hadn't got a car that would have been fast enough. Hamilton had many penalties, we can't say whether they were fair or not but he got them.

It is a heartbreaking photo... Almost as painful as Kimi's photo was for me in Singapore...

Here you can see, Rob Smedley's face (Massa's engineer)

It was a really emotional moment for everybody...

I would have gone insane had it been happened to Kimi last year, I guess....

But now let's see some happier things/photos.

In Japan someone asked Vettel: Who would you prefer for WDC: Hamilton, Massa or Kubica?
Vettel's answer: (laughs) Kimi!!!:cheeky:

Q. Kimi, obviously you were catching hard at the end, was it that the tyres really came to you? Was it a struggle early on?
KR: The first set, especially, was quite difficult. The car didn't want to turn but it was slightly better at the beginning of the second one, the second set of dry tyres, and then it got better all the time, so I was able to catch up. As Fernando said, when the rain came and I got close to him, they told me not to risk anything because if I went off, it would not be good for the team, for Felipe's situation at that moment. For myself it was no difference and the team would have won the championship anyhow, so we just came home third.

Q. What were the conditions like out there?

KR: Of course, it was wet at the start but the grip was not too bad, actually. It was trickier on dry tyres when there were some wet patches and I took it very easily at those places. My only mission was to get points for the team. Not the nicest race in the end but we got what we wanted, so that was the most important thing.

Q. (Heikki Kulta – Turun Sanomat) Kimi, you just lost your championship title to Hamilton. How do you feel about that?

KR: You can always lose some points. OK, I lost it this year, so well done to him, he deserves it in the end. He got the most points from this year, so I don't feel bad. Of course, my season was not what I wanted in the end but that's racing. Sometimes you have bad moments during the season and it cost too many points for me this year but I will try to come back next year and it's a completely different story again. I won it once and for sure I want to win it more times but this year didn't happen and we will come back stronger next year and try to get it back.unk:unk:unk:

Now, say it to me that he doesn't enjoy his time in F1... big grins from him all the time

Look at Domenicali's face... as if he was thinking: I'm so proud of them, they are the best team-mates...

In 10 years - 8 times Ferrari WCC!!!!

Hamilton had many penalties, we can't say whether they were fair or not but he got them.

BUT because he got them (fair or not) there was always a reason. Penalties aren't given without a reason. So whether someone thinks they were unfair, he had droven so that someone thinks there's a reason. Kimi - or Kubica - didn't have any penalties because they didn't give reason for it with their driving style.

Look at Domenicali's face... as if he was thinking: I'm so proud of them, they are the best team-mates...

Yes, there was always a reason why... I just didn't want to sound narrow-minded but it's true that Kimi would never ever play the dirty game (both on and off track). That's one of the reasons why I love him.

Aww yes, he's like a proud daddy ^_^

awww yes!:wub::wub:

In my opinion, saying 'Massa tasted a part' is belittled. In my own opinion, what happened to Massa was worse than what happened to Kimi at Spa. Of course it was not nice at all what happened to Kimi but it was just one race. This, instead, was abut world champion and it was so close.

I haven't seen your post of yesterday. I know what you mean and I think she meant that Kimi has lost the championship already at Spa when he hit the wall.


Kimi has amazing fans, here's someone's thoughts. It's really amazing that a lot of Kimi's fans think the same way about his "bad" year. I tried to write almost the same things in one of my previous posts:

So many people have been talking about Kimi's "bad" year. It has not been a bad year.

What I want to say is that it is during the bad times that the true character of a person shows and, for me, more important than Kimi being world champion, more important than F1, Kimi showed the type of person and human being he is and I think that he, and all of us fans, should be more proud of this than his being world champion, because he is truly a wonderful example of how a man/person should strive for and be.

Throughout this year, he never complained, never acted as a "champion", never demanded to be treated as the champion, and when the team needed him, at the risk that the team would consider Massa as more important than him, he never hesitated to help, never thought of himself, and put aside all personal aspirations to be there for his team and his teammate. That in itself makes me more proud of him than if he had won the world championship again.

I chose this poem by Rudyard Kipling because it reflects all Kimi has shown us of his person especially this year when "the chips were down".

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream, and not make dreams your master,
If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And, which is more, you'll be a Man, my son!

- Rudyard Kipling

That was very beautiful poem.

And after all, Kimi was 3rd in the championship, 23 points behind the winner with 9 top3 positions and 10 fastest laps. Not many can say that about their 'bad' season
