I was watching the last race and pondering my thoughts over the past 12 months and started to try and sum it up in my head in only 5 words. I've expanded it a little now...

The 2008 Season: Dreams fulfilled and nazi spanking!!

The drivers...

Lewis Hamilton: World Champion, too much hype
Felipe Massa: Great drive, oh so close!
Kimi Raikkonen: Fallen hero - must do better
Robert Kubica: First Polish race winner, congratulations
Fernando Alonso: Back home and feeling good
Nick Heidfeld: Shave that beard off please!
Sebastian Vettel: Can he fill Schumacher’s shoes?
Jarno Trulli: Is he still in F1?
Timo Glock: Did they pay you off?
Mark Webber: What can I say XXXX
Nelson Piquet Jr: Not a match on daddy!
Nico Rosberg: Get out of Williams now
Rubens Barrichello: Time to quit with Trulli
Kazuki Nakajima: Who? Oh a Williams driver!!
David Coulthard: A gentleman, not a racer
Sebastien Bourdais: Out classed by team mate
Jenson Button: You must deliver in 2009

The teams...

Ferrari: Congratulations on securing another title!
McLaren Mercedes: The double is next target
BMW Sauber: Eyes on that top step
Renault: Coming back, thanks to Alonso
Toyota: Money can't buy you success!
Scuderia Toro Rosso: Minardi boys have certainly blossomed
Red Bull Racing: Has Adrian Newey lost it?
Williams: Oh dear! There's trouble ahead...
Honda Racing: Brawn MUST deliver in 2009!

The big wigs...

Max Mosley: Spank me some more please
Bernie Ecclestone: The wealthiest midget in town


...and finally the ITV team

Steve Rider: Wished he stayed at BBC
Mark Blundell: It's like watching paint dry
Martin Brundle: Sign that BBC contract now
Louise Goodman: Call that eye candy ITV?
Ted Kravitz: It's the BTCC for you!

That just about wraps it all up but I just couldn't stop myself with the very last one, so here are my favourites...

James Allen:

Farewell James 'The Cock' Allen
P45 is in the post
Goodbye and farewell you cock
What you doing in 2009?
Does the McDonalds uniform fit?
Goodbye and Auf Wiedersehen Pet
No more licking Lewis' arse!
Will we miss you? NO!!!

Oh and looking forward to the 2009 season: The chain, no adverts, HD smile

Lewis Hamilton: World Champion, despite the FIA.
Felipe Massa: Gracious in defeat, good effort.
Kimi Raikkonen: Inexplicably bizarre drop in form.
Robert Kubica: Totally dull, future World Champ.
Fernando Alonso: Still a totally incredible driver.
Nick Heidfeld: Completely overshadowed by Robert Kubica.
Sebastian Vettel: Awesome. Future multiple champion.
Jarno Trulli: Still fast. Still can't race.
Timo Glock: Solid. Definitely not paid off.
Mark Webber: Good luck running with Vettel!
Nelson Piquet Jr: Needs to get better. FAST!
Nico Rosberg: Some 'decisions' need making. Soon.
Rubens Barrichello: Time to go. Make room.
Kazuki Nakajima: Solid season. A good effort.
David Coulthard: The Could Have Been Champ.
Sebastien Bourdais: Improving. Let's see on 20/11/09 (I'm counting that date as one word!)
Jenson Button: Please don't make me wrong.

Ferrari: New regime? Much more palatable.
McLaren Mercedes: Happy retirement Sir Ron Dennis.
BMW Sauber: Keep going, you'll be champions.
Renault: Appear to be coming back.
Toyota: Less inspiring than raw potato.
Scuderia Toro Rosso: Most deserved win, possibly ever.
Red Bull Racing: Bet you're regretting dropping Ferrari.
Williams: Sad decline, Frank too old?
Honda Racing: Absolutely must deliver in 2009.

Totally agree, the FIA were a large part of this season and the main reason why i did not feel one bit sorry for Massa.
