Here's to Timo Glock..... (Race Spoiler)

[Cara Van Man]

Who reckons he has a mcLaren contract tucked inside his nomex for next year?

Hope so....;)

[Lordbenny]

So, how did he lose 15 seconds on the last lap?

Combination of a wet track and old, slick tyre's, both Toyota's lost about 20 seconds on that last lap as they were both on slicks.

Good point, it has blighted the whole season.....but i think it swung the right way in the end....

[Lordbenny]

I have never seen a sporting event end like that, not even David Hopkin's late winner for Palace against Sheffield Utd at Wembley to win the Div 1 championship!.

Amazing, well done Lewis......Thanks Timo! ...oh yes and to the Gods for raining on the track!

Agree, LH deserved it. But the 'dodgy' appearance of the Toyotas losing 20 seconds on the last lap when they were holding pace on the penultimate lap (in the same rain) - regardless of what the armchair racers here say, the last-lap performance wasn't entirely consistent with appearance (yeah they were sliding about and struggling to get the power down, but 20 seconds? Need to see some throttle telemetry plots to really see). And I reckon that will allow Ferrari to demand explanations, which will cloud LH's victory - there will be recriminations from this (especially with Lewis having trouble with his steering wheel at the end). I really hope Ferrari take it with good grace and the FIA don't get involved, but I'm not 100% convinced they will act in true sportsmanlike behaviour... which will be sad and sour LH's victory really.


ETA - TomTVR - don't threadcrap this one as well, kthxbai

Yep, eventually. Had a lot of trouble putting it back on and at one point looked like he'd shrugged his shoulders and left the wheel on the top of the car... I guess someone told him that he'd get docked points unless he replaced it fully. The marshals were all over the car as soon as he stormed off...

Cheers Timo! A Stuttgart addressed Stein on the way to you I reckon!
