Congratulations to F1's youngest ever world champion :bow:

Another intelligent drive today in what is clearly far from the fastest car out there. Maybe not out and out the fastest driver out there, but the one with the best combination of speed and intelligence (post MS of course!).

Just a shame ITV ballsed up the post race coverage, and as ever, were so desperate to get away to Coronation Street :irked:

I've edited the title because some people may not have seen the race or indeed know the outcome and putting the guys name in the title is a bit of a give away.

Please see sticky thread above about spoilers

top bananna - fully chuffed...

He's a top bloke and I'm seriously happy for him.

Should make the next two races interesting now he can put the peddal down fully again

Oh and if you were Mr Button's bank manager would you be looking for a second opinion on the car he's just paid to drive?

Great result, Alonso getting the title, Mclaren 1-2 with JPM proving just how good he can be.

poor little kimi maybe he should get the pole dancers to go the other way round.

I suspect there will be some serious questions asked at the BAR areo dept in the morning.

Was Kimi more upset about 'losing' the title, or the fact that once again he's been outpaced by JPM?

Final races should be interesting now there's no need for team orders!

JPM got slated in the early part of the year but I think he is qctually faster than Kimi now. The last few races have shown it. Next year I think he will beat him.

I think JPM's shoulder slowed him down. Now it's fit we're seeing just how good the McLaren really is with both drivers doing well.

Great result for Alonso. You cannot help but respect someone that can win the championship in a car that is obviously slower than the principal opposition, there's a very mature head on those shoulders. I just hope that next year a few of the teams that have written themselves out of this years story (BAR, Ferrari, Toyota and Mclaren to a lesser degree with their earlier unreliability) can be competitive next year. I reckon we have one of the best crops of exciting talent in F1 at the moment, if the top teams are reasonbly similar in performance next year it should be a great season.

Would LOVE to see Jenson come good, but y'know, BAR/Honda versus Williams/Cosworth? I may be wrong and perhaps he may know something that I don't of course, but, ....

I really do hope that we're not looking at another "all promise" and no result Coulthard...........

Let's see your metal Jenson!................Go show 'em!






Oh!......Yes!.........I quite forgot.

Congratulations Fernando!!!!.....
