He has driven fantastically well. Some of the overtaking moves he's done have been breathtaking.
Still think he's an arrogant cocksure shit, but I suppose you need a supreme level of confidence to do what he does, & do it so well. It'd be very wrong of me to wish him anything but success, based on both his performance & his nationality I should, & will, be supporting him.

Hamilton vs F1
Can he do it? Starting 4th, needs to finish as close to Massa as possible. He needs a top 5 finish, especially if Massa is in front of him. They are equal in the victories league at 4 a piece so Massa will be pushing hard to lead from the start with Kimi protecting the advantage behind him.
Ferrari's will be lighter today to guarantee a Massa pole, and Dennis reckons that Maclaren were taking it easy.
Will he choke again? Will he do something silly? Or will he drive like the youngest champion the sport has ever seen?

2. TRULLI Toyota
3. RAIKKONEN Ferrari

I merged these as same subject, approached slightly differently, but same subject nonetheless.
Yeah, I'm really looking for it. I'm a little nervous for the lad TBH.
The other drivers hate him. I'm worried about a repeat of the whole Jenson Button thing where someone deliberately takes him out.

Me too, it's gonna be a tough race for him. Go all out like last year and in Japan or take it easy, and risk being pushed out and down the grid by others.
Massa has got the easier job, he HAS to win! Where as Lewis has got to finish without incident, mistake or A N other firing him off or getting in his way.

Isnt it that Hamilton has to finish 5th or higher if massa wins? Its his to throw away really and thats not out of the question with Maclaren recent history.

Yes, he's 7 points clear of Massa. If they finish on equal points and Massa wins, Massa will have won 5 races to Hamiltons 4.
But if Hamilton scores 4 points he'll finish 1 point clear of Massa if Massa scores maximum points.

Erm, if Massa wins, Hamilton needs to finish top 5, if massa is 2nd Hamilton needs top 8 (I think thats it)

This has been a very, very exciting race thus far.
I'm extremely nervous. Great race, by no means straight forward for Lewis.
I think he's struggling with not racing to win, his time's have been poor & he cant keep position consistently. I just dont think he knows how to 'coast', he has to race for pole instinctively.

What a race.
What a finish.
Hamilton is champion.
Fuck me, that felt like a cup final.

Ferrari were celebrating after Hamilton passed the line! Comical.
What the fuck happened to the guy ahead of Hamilton though?

I assume his tyres finally went, it'd had been raining heavily for around 3 minutes which effected his dry tyres just enough to make his grip go last lap.
