It was edge of seat stuff and my heart sank when Vettel overtook Hamilton on the final 2 laps. All I could think was that all his hard work had gone down the drain and for the 2nd season on the bounce he would be stripped of the title on the last race. I was literally screaming at the TV and just crying out for something to put Lewis back on track…. and then it happened, Timo Glock made the unfortunate decision to stay out on ‘dry’ tyres and as the rain poured down he had no choice but to fall off the pace and it was just the break that Hamilton needed to take back 5th position at the final bend of the Brazilian (Interlagos) Grand Prix and become the youngest Grand Prix World Champion in history. It is no more than he deserved considering all the hard work he has put in all season with some excellent races and more importantly the consistency and composure that an F1 champion has to produce to be the best.

My commiserations go out to Felipe Massa who drove an excellent race and did everything he had to (just like Lewis) but on the day it just wasn’t enough to seal the championship. Massa fully deserved to win that race in front of his home crowd just a pity some of the crowd could not be a bit more sporting as they aimed inappropriate jeers at Hamilton. Congratulations to Massa to pushing season to such a climax and congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on becoming the youngest ever F1 World Champion.
