Well in lewis, consumate best as normal 
Nice 7 point lead going in to the last race... I wonder if the Ferrari Int'l Assistance will do anyhting by the blatent team orders (ie cheating) by Kimi & Massa

Good solid win to shut the critics up, little bit too similar to last season for my liking though  he needs to finish what fifth in brazil, hopefully won't have any issues as he's deserves it this year imo, raikonnen and massa not consitstent enough when it counted.

Ditto... in reality I dont really see anythign wrong with it, its always gonna happen but the FIA rules clearly state that is illegal and u can bet ur bottom dollar if that was heikki letitng lewis past then FIA would wade in

Good race for Lewis, Ferrari couldn't match him all weekend!
Massa was struggling to catch Kimi for 2nd even when backing off!
7 points going into Brazil, same as last year when Lewis engine seemed to loose power for few seconds
There is still hope yet for Massa but I think its pretty much in the bag if Lewis keeps his head

That will keep the certain non patriotics on here quiet for a while anyway. Watch him flip it and his head come off in Brazil.

I think its a joke when one driver just lets through another. It has no effect on the team so it should be each driver for himself IMO.
F1 is about RACING not letting other people win. If its as blatent as todays IMO they should get docked places or something unless there was a reason for the leading driver to slow down like engine problems but I am sure it can be proved it wasn't that as they get new engines next race.
Fingers crossed hamilton just races really sensibly, even a 3rd 4th will do the job fine.

the rules state that the team are not allowed to give orders telling one driver to move over for another to come through and take the place.
if raikonnen does it because thats his team mate then it's fine.
you'd help your mate out if it meant he had a shot of winning something big.

no i dont think thats right, sure they penalised a team a few years ago for one teammate moving over, thats the whole point of "team orders"

Wasn't team orders, was something he knew he would have to do from the start, Massa done it last year so he could win the title in Brazil after running away with the race!
Not like they came on the radio and said, Massa is behind slow down and let him pass
I think Lewis will now win but I so bloody hope he stacks it or something in Brazil!

I don't think you can blame Kimi for letting him though - you'd do the same thing when your own championship fight is long gone - no brainer and not really team orders.
What did the FIA dude say on the 3pm showing though? Didn't see it this morning....

That does my head in, he's capable of scoring enough points to lead the championship pretty much all year & you want to see him bin it on the last race.
You might not like him, you might not think he's the best driver out there but he's consitently better than most. No one deserves to lose like that

That's what pisses me off about all the other drivers coming out and saying he doesn't deserve.
He drives aggresively, yes, but it makes F1 a lot more exciting to watch, and if he gets results from it, then sod them all, they should all drive more aggresively would make it a lot more exciting to watch.
He's been screwed over many times this year and is still leading by 7 points, damn right he deserves it.
Would like to see Kubica in a decent car though he's been driver of the season imo.

I don't think anyones moaned about the lack of racing last week it was the stupid penatlies for what would have just counted as 'racing' a few years ago. Without all the FIA crap thats gone on the last 2/3 races would have been good but thier actions destroyed them
