Since when has there been equal equipment in F1? Unless you are racing your team mate, which Hamilton beat last season and this season.

GP2, F3 etc are equal cars and how did Hamilton get on in those forumla's?

i think hamilton did a good job this year - yes he has made some silly mistakes but didnt you at the age of 23 ! espeically in the media focus that he is in .
as for his arrogance & self beleif , he acts no different than micheal schumacher has , i dont understand why soo many brittish people dont like him ?
& as for people sayin it is all about him being in the best car - what did kovalinen do this year ? ferrari was the better car most of the year

everyone seems to hate anyone who is good at what they do, the other drivers dont like hammy as he is better than them and they know it, but at the end of the day hamiliton won end of.
glock did not let him past, and i bet ferrari had words with vettels team and told him to push hammy as vettels car is powered by a ferrari engine, and if you want to mention letting people past ferrari are the number one team for doing it

Come on!!!!!!! :c lap:

@ some people on this thread. What a joke some of you guys are.

I just knew people would be saying he didnt deserve it, of course he did you fools, he got the most points, despite being penalized many times due to queationable stewards decisions, which makes it even more deserved!!!!!!

Im actually glad in a way now that the stupid decisions/penalties were handed to hamilton, because its just like rubbing their noses in it now he's champion!!!! A true talent!!!! Roll on next season!!!

Yeah, just like he owned Damon Hill and Villeneuve and Hakkinen.

Shumacher was great but nowhere near as good as it's reckoned. Had he been in the era of Senna, Mansell, Prost and Piquet he'd have won races and championships for sure.....but not as many.


Still waiting to know how Alonso was better that Hamilton seeing as Hamilton beat him this year and last year in the same car, in his rookie season

And if Hamilton had been in Schumachers era he would have been no where other than a boot cleaner.

Alonso was beaten by hamilton due to the latter been given the new parts first and the total support of the team.

So, along with villeneuve, hamilton is the only other driver to win a championship in his second season. Well done lad!

How anyone can say he's not one of the best if not THE best at the moment is so funny. He's won the title, which makes him NUMBER 1.

These hamilton haters with their excuses and ifs and buts are making themselves look really silly and VERY unintelligent!

You can speculate about Hamilton as much as you like, read what other past world champs say about him http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/7688403.stm

As for Mclaren backing him over Double incumbent World Champ Alonso - do me a fucking favour. They are a business not a fucking gambling club

Alonso shit himself when the rookie was fast, refused to share set-up and test information and allowed Lewis to totally outpsyche him...Lewis proved himself to be the man to back, Alonso was never going to beat Hamilton last year....he beat himself.

I am a big Ferrari fan and have backed Massa all season. Lewis won the championship today as a result of having the most points. He has the most points as he has consistantly finished higher than anyone else. He drives VERY quickly, is very aggressive and has a level of self confidence (that he projects out) that sees him through his races. In reality you can see that the self confidence is not 100% there as he struggles under the extreme pressure of championship deciding races but that will come with time. Now that he is the champ, I expect that most of those nerves will infact be gone before next season.

I was upset with the Brazilian fans acting like that, it is not very sportsman like.

Hamilton's dad was protecting his life long investment and his pride and joy, his Son. Being mobbed like that after the race "so we can hear what the new champion has to say" is not acceptable and I think Hamilton would have been quite justified in knocking a few of the reporters over. At the end of the day, who are we to demand these peoples attention like that?

It was a great season and I am sure that there are many "if only" moments in that season. Many for Massa and a few for Hamilton, however he has fewer than Massa, especially now that he has the Championship.

It was an intense race and a fantastic demonstration of why F1 is such an exciting sport to watch. I believe we will see Massa challenging again next year as he is a very fast driver who is learning all the time. His quality of sportsmanship was seen during this season and that is something to be proud of.

Well done Lewis and can't wait to see the battle next year again

Lewis did well this season considering the fairly controversial descisions made by the stewards, really happy for the fella, did GBR proud! IMO the best driver won overall, yes today Massa was the better driver, he himself has had a really good season to, and seems a down to earth sportsman.

Hamilton won the championship (By the skin of his teeth, and no doubt with some help from timo glock) but massa was the better driver of the season.

If it wasnt for massas 2 engine blow ups, and that pitstop fuck up, he would have won the championship.

LOL @ all the hamilton lick arses on this thread...
