Thank you Formula 1!

How awesome was this season?

Thank you Kimi, thank you Ferrari, thank you Felipe. Thank you Ron, Lewis and Fernando.



As much as it will make Peter Windsor feel suicidal, the right man won. Kimi deserved it having won six races vs the four of Hamilton and Alonso, having the most fast laps and by displaying a strict Shut Up and drive ethic. Well done.

Hamilton had a fantastic first year where many things went right for him and a few went wrong. In the end he had a great rookie season and did not win a championship that would have always been followed with an asterisk because of the Mclaren spy scandal. But oh to have seen Bernie's face when Hamilton went wide!

On a lighter note, maybe the UK press can start a scandal following Windsor's lead when he asked Massa about letting Raikkonen by and Felipe swallowed the bait whole.... hey, it's been that kind of year!

UPDATE!!!
And just to prove it's that kind of year, BMW and Williams have apparently been found to have their gasoline 12 degrees colder than ambient temperature in violation of the regulations. Now the FIA could hand Lewis Hamilton the championship. Let's see if they are consistent and, like they did when Mclaren got busted for having the Ferrari owners manual, penalize the team but let the drivers keep their points.

UPDATE 2

No penalty given. results stand!

UPDATE 3

Mclaren decides to appeal the stewards decision not to penalize Williams and BMW...
