HAMILTON WINS! HAMILTON WINS! Hamilton is the youngest ever Formula 1 champion.

Why in the blue hell Glock stopped in the last turn and let Hamilton and Vettel pass?

Oh my god what a finish!!!

He was on the wrong tires, so there may have been a technical problem. Otherwise, was very weird ending.

Holy fuck that was down the wire! I was certain Massa was gonna win it after Vettel's overtaking.

[SilentBob2004]

I hardly ever watch F1, but fuck me that was an amazing end to the race!!!!

GO LEWIS!

Something VERY dodgy happened there if you ask me, Glock slowed down incredibly towards the end of the lap, but seemed to regain speed once Hamilton took over.l

Massa is on the verge of tears and I can understand why, poor bloke.

I'm happy Hamilton wins the Driver's Championship.

Two years in a row with the last race deciding the winner. Amazing.

Massa certainly looks like he doesn't know whether to cry out of frustration or joy, but dammit, the guy wins his home GP. The ending could've been worse for him.

Hopefully whatever controversy that comes out of this gets resolved quickly though.

The last corner of the last lap of the last race decided this title.

As much as I dislike him at times, GO HAMILTON!!!

[hugobomb]

who else is waiting for the stewards to give Hamilton a 25 second penalty to hand Massa the titile?

[Scott McFly]

Holy. Fuck. He's got it. He's lost it. He's got it. He's lost it.

Glock lost 18 seconds in that last lap, apparently because he was on dry tyres and Vettel and Hamilton changed to intermediates. I feel so bad for Massa, I hope he'll be champion one year because that's no way to have a championship taken away from you like that. When he crossed the line, everyone was in places that made him the champion.

What a finish though, I've truly never seen anything like that. I still don't know how Glock lost 18 seconds.

To sum everything up - Vettel passed Hamilton with about 2 laps to go that made Massa the champion. Hamilton tried to pass on the last couple of laps but couldn't, and then from out of nowhere Glock (who was ahead of Vettel) slowed to a crawl and Vettel and Hamilton passed, meaning Hamilton gained the position up to 5th place that he needed.

Maybe Mosley should just let this one go. This is supposed to be the year black people break the glass ceiling

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Wow, amazing finish.

[legendonline]

Ferrari had thought they won when Massa crossed the line

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

So did just about everybody else.

Bollocks. Although Glock was on the wrong tyres, let's not forget that he was on those tyres for at least twenty laps before the end. They would've been incredibly worn anyway no matter the weather conditions.

Also once the temperature of the dry tyre drops it becomes less gripy, which means you have to slow down, which makes the temperature of the dry tyres drop so they become less gripy, which means you have to slow down, etc...

You saw how much it fucking bucketed it down at the end, granted I felt really bad for Massa, but was glad Hamilton won in the end, and I am glad I am not like 50 as I am sure that would have given me a heart attack by the end, what a fnatastic way to end a fantastic season, all I can do is ask for more of the same next year! Roll on Melbourne 2009, see you on the BBC!

PS. Gutted for Coulthard, the man is an absolute legend in my eyes and deserved better in his last race than to be decimated by the 2 Williams on the first corner. Bye bye David and thank you!

[Lineker]

Gutted for DC. How good was the Carry On video they put together though??!

I do feel sorry for Massa, but... well....

Can't help but be amused at that.

[Summers]

lol, fix.

Glock, what have you done? Terrible move. Never had to pretty much stop his car. I hope he gets an assist on this world championship.
