2008 Formula1 discussion
He intentionally and with premeditation let Hamilton pass him a couple hundred yards in front of the checkers flag. Ask any true forumla one and they will agree this was pre staged specially after seen the last 3 laps.
The world championship chnaged due to Timo Glock prepaid actions.

i know right, truli slowed glock down so if they wanna get mad they need to be mad at truli
NEXT UP OBAMA!!!!!!
I am not indenial of the great Hamilton skills, he is great, Massa did well also but Cmon man, it was total BS how it happened. Evryone was celebrating Massa's worldchampionship when all the sudden in the last second everything changes.
Timo's performance can't go from superbrilliant to underachiever in just 200 yards.

Whoa, fromWRXtoEvo, what the hell man. I am a die hard Scuderia fan and have been before Schumi showed but, I totally disagree with you. What race were you watching. If you were a "true" F1 fan you would have picked up on the fact that BOTH Trulli and Glock decided to gamble and stay out on drys in the hopes that the rain would hold off and the track would come to them versus all the other guys on inters.
Just look at Glock's lap times leading up to the last corner. He had dropped nearly 15 seconds because of the rain. That was in no way a deliberate act on his part. Glock is an outstanding driver (if you were a diehard you'd realize this given his performances in GP2 were he and Hami were neck and neck).
You gotta love the ignorance of the internet

WRX killa,
Cmon man. You saw the race. I know you were aiming for Hamilton's win but besides of who won the issue here is what Timo did . The championship was 50-50 but how can you explain Timo's last final yards.
By the way, I am with you as far is Obama.

Come on Carlos, you sound just a little biased.... Just a little. Toyota did not change their tires. What you think would have happened.
Everyone can think what they want. From the driver's perspective, "that's racing".
You can think Toyota gambled, and they paid the consequences, or you can think that a phone call was made, and orders were given. I was pretty shocked, I thought it was unbelievable that he passed him to capture the championship on the last turn. It's definatley a weird way to go out for the year, but as others said, the falling lap times don't lie. It's easy to see what was inevitable, and it just so happen to be the last corner.
I've been a Kimi fan for about 4 years now, but I would have liked to see Hamilton push and make an incredible move on Vettel to get that 5th spot, rather than be saved by another team's unfortunate situation.
yeah, NoTec, it looks like it's getting bombed. Check planetF1.com.
