Formula 1

Nice one for the above information.

They'll be no justice if Lewis finishes third overall, or even second for that matter.

Best of luck Lewis, you deserve to win it 

Lewis will start 2nd on the grid for tomorrows Championship decider.

Final qualifying positions:
1. F Massa (Ferrari)

2. L Hamilton (McLaren)

3. K Raikkonen (Ferrari)

4. F Alonso (McLaren)

5. M Webber (Red Bull)

6. N Heidfeld (BMW Sauber)

7. R Kubica (BMW Sauber)

Tough starts for Hamilton seeing him drop down to 18th place after a tricky couple of corners going wide and engine trouble but is now climbing back up the pack with amazing pace. 

Currently 12th!  Edit  11th

well he didn't win it but like the rugby he finished 2nd, so congrats lewis,
next year my son.

why is it with us brits, we whinge and knock our hero's when they just miss out.
we don't give credit to the hard graft that they put in to a season.

wish we would stop sulking and walk proud.

I reckon Hamilton has done extremely well this season with some great wins and there will be more to come now Alonso is leaving Maclaren they can dedicate all their efforts in his favour.  Maybe Button will sign for them too that would give a good take on the whole British feel of F1.

I think he is going to clash with Alonso, they both crash out and Raikonin wins!

Megh i got the winner right at least, im glad raikonin won, he would be my favourite out of the 3.

I have to confess I do own a Ferrari cap but only because I think they have a great racing heritage and have always had irresistible looking cars, and they are red!

Hamiliton drove with such bravery and courage all season,it just wasn't meant to be.He's young and i'm sure he'll be multi- champion in the not to distant future,all i can say is the dissapointment and expierence will make him stronger and congrats on your first season, you've been a breath of fresh air.

Agreed 100%

Breaking news on ssn hamilton could still be world champion, the fuel temperatures and technical impurities are under investigation in three cars which finished above lewis (KUBICA ,HEIDFELD+ rosberg) could be disqualfied in which case could hand the rookie the world tittle.

If Raikkonen wins the F1 title then fair enough, he has done it on merit.... but Alonso - that would be tragic for lovers of true sportsmanship.

The dream was not realized but Lewis Hamilton has a sent out a clear message that he's got what it takes to play with the big boys. If 1 point is the difference between a World champion and 2nd / 3rd place then Lewis hasn't done so bad considering it's his 1st season in F1.
A few curious choices from McClaren / Hamilton regarding tyres (Japan especially) and pit stop timings contributed to the outcome of this season. Hamilton, although an outstanding driver, still made some rash decisions with today's aggression against Alonso forcing him wide and costing him big time - he only needed to finish in 5th to secure the title but blew the opportunity with a bad driving error.

Raikkonen deservedly won the F1 title with 6 wins from 17 races but there still might be a twist in the tale:

Press release from the Official F1 Website:

BMW Sauber and Williams under investigation

The BMW Sauber and Williams teams are being investigated by Brazilian Grand Prix stewards over possible technical irregularities on their cars at the end of Sunday’s Interlagos race. The enquiries are believed to relate to fuel temperatures.

Nico Rosberg finished fourth for Williams, with Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld fifth and sixth respectively for BMW Sauber. If they were to be disqualified, it would move McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton up from seventh to fourth, making him world champion, rather than Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.

Raikkonen won the race from team mate Felipe Massa, with McLaren’s Fernando Alonso third.

It would be a cruel finale if Raikkonen was to lose his title but in the world of F1 anything is possible....

If i was Hamilton i wouldnt want to win this way

I really want some tickets to watch Formula 1 racing. The noise of the F1 racings cars is just unexplainable, I'd love to get tickets to an event such as this but tickets meant to cost more than 'a lot'

Great Britain - Silverstone



Location Silverstone, United Kingdom
Date 4- 6 July 2008
Lap distance 5.141 m
Laps 60
Race Distance 308.355 km
Track Record 1:18.739 M. Schumacher (Ferrari), 2004

Tickets are usually around £300 but in my opinion its well worth it to be the best racers in the world driving the best machines in the world!

Anyone ever though about attending an event such as this in the future?

https://www.f1tickets.com/

Wow  £300 is alot for a ticket. just glad its not that at Anfield for a ticket. Id also love to go to silverstone. The noise would be amazing, just as there all on the starting grid, then bang... id love to see them crash aswell .

Just how fast is a F1 car? Well only way to find out is to put one out on a track against a few road cars!

I have already seen this clip, but well worth another look! Pretty funny to see Coulthard with his feet up whilst the others bomb off, and impressive the way he accelerates out of the last corner! 

Class video that! Wonder what the Ferrari ones would be like?

Another great comparasion between Mercedes roads cars and the Mclaren Mercedes F1 car

This time it's a special Alonso giving out the treatment! Fernando that is

In the end, the F1 car isn't that much faster than the C Class (race version), though 7 secs better per lap is still pretty good! Any ideas on the comparison between the F1 car and one of the world superbikes?

I know F1 cars are a bit quicker around a track than a Moto GP superbike, don't know how much faster though but by a fair bit. There is no quicker racing machine on ground than Formula 1

Thats about what I thought, more grip with the four wheels and aerodynamics so faster cornering for sure, for the acceleration though I dunno....

Well bikes do have amazing acceleration but so do these f1 cars as they are powered with v8 or v10 engines producing 800bhp.. also they are as light as anything!
