Hamilton was not too lucky and either Fernnado Alonso did not do its best or his car wasn't running right. Kimi pulled almost one minute over Alonso.

I still think Kimi really deserve it this year.

It is just unreal what one single point can do. I will have to be a even firmer believer that you can't never guess or speculate and that you must always wait until the very last second and very last foot of the track.

Yes. Some will learn a lesson on how to be humble in life.

Kimi was ecstatic - kinda looked like he won his 1st race and not the championship.

What a treat to listen to him after taking the title

Kimi showed a lot of great spirit, about 4 or 5 races ago he was over 20 points behind and he made a statement saying that despite all the odds he will fight to the last point and he did.

Ferrari was together as a team while McLaren was more worry about their internal fight.

As I mentioned earlier, I will never ever assume that someone is favorite despite the advantage. Look what happened last year with Alonso and Shumacker in the last two races and look what happend this year.

Botton line is that if there is a single point to be fight that means that the chances are there for anyone to win and that is what Kimi did. Well done Kimi!

Two people opened a new topic after the world championship ended (I was one of them). Why?, I don't know.

As far is Hamilton? I have my human side as well and despite my personal choice of Alonso I must say that just about any of the 3 drivers could it done it.

Mathematically Kimi has lesser chances but Formula one is like that. Big lesson learn for McLaren, 100 million dollars in penalties, no constructors championship, no drivers Chamionship and a black cloud of media and a nasty image to recover from.
