Should be worth watching, just hope that little bitter & twisted Spanish gnome doesn't try to interfere, Renault are all at it, with Flavio trying to physce Hamilton out.

Lets see a fair straight fight & may the best man win.

Race start time is 8am so I should be able to get an extra half an hour in bed ;D

Well, that was a bit of a demonstration from McClaren wasn't it. At least Phil had the good grace to look embarrased when the interviewer said "that looked a close race between you and Kimi in the closing laps"   ;D.

I hope that fat orange pensioner Briatore feels suitable contrite after his comments over the weekend.

Very smooth race by Hamilton. Ferrari off the pace. No rain so no excitement. Bored too death so going for a blast in the integrale.

What a great driver and all round nice guy Massa is, under all that pressure he led from start to finish while Hamilton was at all times at the mercy of those around him. On the podium Massa controlled his emotions and I realised yet again why I like all things Italian. Well done to Lewis but at the same time my heart goes out to Massa.

Superb race, but how can the championship come down to the final corner of the last race…????????????

Hamilton absolutely deserved the Championship, but hearts go out to Massa for a final effort, maybe next year!

Yes,
 superb win, but my wife said "OMG don't tell me we've got another Tim Henman, I couldn't stand that" ;D

Really felt sorry for Massa especially as his team counted the chickens a bit early.
I should think Sebastian Vettel earned a few brownie points for his team from Ferrari, they certainly seem to be making the best out of the Ferrari engine.
