what a way to retire for Hami... but still a great way to head into the final round!!! who wud've written a script for this one! 
F1 has become so predictable and fake:sick:
we all somehow knew, that Hamilton wouldnt allow to win this ...one way or the other... just for the shake of spectacle...and for the dramatic finale, how convinient his exit was, for everyone!!!
why wouldnt he change tires, when it was so blatantly obvious that he should
have done than many rounds before??
I m sure that Kimi hasnt got any realistic chances to win the tittle, even if he and Massa win the first two positions,its too late now for Ferrari to start showing and reability or consistency. Anyway we have to be pleased with a title we might or we might not worth of...
I wish though, that lucky Fernando's luck, will end here
Hamilton is more worthy of a champion than he is, he said that himself!

Im looking for a G_O_A_T!
Ok, onto the race. I'm delighted as I have said.
I found the wet part a bit boring but when the dry tyres were needed, it got better and you saw who was better in which conditions (Renaults surging back up the field).
McLaren made a huge mistake with Lewis, he clearly should have been brought in earlier. He had it coming when you go into the pit entrance at that speed though, was lucky. Weren't Alonso's tyres being brought out aswell? That could prove that Lewis isn't favoured (over Nando).
On Ferrari, we looked good. Not much more to say really. Felipe could have tagged onto the back of Alonso I felt but I'm not too bothered as I feel Alonso should get them points, so Lewis doesn't win the championship. Well done Kimi anyway, drove a good race. Massa did good to take the fastest lap so I'm happy for that. And well done Toro Rosso on getting both drivers in the points, especially Vettel. He looks like a very promising driver.
Brazil will be amazingly tense...

How can u understand it was his fault?
I mean, if he was paid 2$mil to lose that race,wouldnt he pick that place as an ideal one,just look at that, he parked that near pits...
another coincidence, of the convinient for every1 Hamilton exit
Or maybe, some Alonso fan, within the team, stalled that pit so much, that Lewis had no more grip, due to finished tyres, to finish the lap...
I would call it a coincidence under normal circumstances, but i have seen a lot of similar things happening in F1 during the last rounds and i know for sure that some ppl would do anything to keep F1 exciting and interesting to the last second,
o well, whatever, more joy to the fans...

Well, you're making things up now.
First of all, why would he take money when he's getting a new 15 mil € per year contract from McLaren and he's gonna be huge in terms of marketing, sponsorships etc.
Secondly, not just anyone can stall a pitstop. The decision comes from the top men, and they're all Lewis fans.

It was mostly a joke, but for the sake of discussion, ill go one step further
C mon man u have seen calciopoli, IF they wanted to fix things up and pay Hamilton 1-2 mil more for the spectacle, he wouldnt lose anything from his salary,
besides he might was given guarantees too that Alonso will have a similar "incident" in the next raceumpkin: I m sure that, if they really want to make it look that way, they can...
"McLaren F1 boss Martin Whitmarsh admitted his team left Hamilton out on track a lap too long and that pushed his tyres past their limit."
I m just suspicious of how predictable this situation was, most of the fans prayed Hamilton will get no more points and most of the F1 articles were saying that Hamilton wins here, the championship will be over, but if somehow, something happens to him again, the championship will become very interesting
Isnt it strange that Hamilton did his worst mistake of the season right when everyone expected that, isnt it too convinient for everyone? It looks like Genoa-Napoli draw to me...
The strategy and reliability of Alonso's car demonstrates that Mclaren (as a team) doesnt neglect him, he is the world champion and represents the image of the team, he is very popular among the fans, he is very important to the team,
not as important as (Ron+Lewis i reckon), this is going to be a long drama,
God forbid Alonso to join Ferrari

Ferrari to use aggressive approach to final race
08 October 2007
Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen still has a small chance of winning the 2007 Formula One world championship. The Fin is seven points behind on Raikkonen so theoretically there is still a chance for him to win the title in Brazil. To keep all chances open Ferrari's sporting director Stefano Domenicali said the team will take an aggressive approach for the final race.
"If we look at the next race, we don't have any other choice than to be aggressive. We need to achieve first and second and then that's it. That, for sure, will be our strategy." Ferrari sporting director Stefano Domenicali said.
Domenicali went on to praise Raikkonen in the way he attacked Hamilton but had it contributed to the McLaren driver under steering off into a gravel trap as he was entering the pits? "I don't know," admitted Domenicali. "To be honest maybe he was struggling with the tyres, but Kimi was there, he was just behind, he was attacking at the right moment and it was important to avoid any kind of contact because you never know. At this stage, contact for us would have been dramatic because the championship would have been over, so that shows how Kimi was so cool to be right in the way to attack Hamilton."
Domenicali was asked if the rivalry between the two McLaren drivers perhaps could play into Ferrari's hands. "We need to look within our cars," he replied. "It's already difficult because we need to be first and second and then we will see, but for sure, with all due respect, we understand that the pressure is high on both of their drivers. The only thing that I can say is that we will focus on our job and that's it to be honest. We respect the work of the others but what we are going to do is to try to put pressure on them, that's for sure."
Pressure had something to do with the Chinese tactics, too. "Talking about this race, after the first pit stop, we were just tackling what Hamilton was ready to do, because we knew that he basically put less fuel into the car in comparison to our stop. Of course we were just controlling the pace and checking what was the situation. We knew at that stage that we could be in front, so it was much easier."
So was Ferrari surprised by Hamilton's mistake? "You know, when you are under pressure or you are pragmatic, you can make mistakes everywhere. That shows how is Formula One and maybe he was thinking it was the easiest part of his race, but that's racing," concluded Domenicali.
Hamilton still favourite - Alonso
Despite a better than expected result at the Chinese Grand Prix in which Fernando Alonso took eight points out of Lewis Hamilton's lead and gave himself a fighting chance of defending his crown in Brazil, he insists the British driver is still the firm favourite.
"It will still be very difficult because it won't be easy to take four points away from Lewis," Alonso said. "I need something dramatic to happen to win the championship now. If it's a normal race, it'll be impossible."

It is a bit long but a good read. I have taken to Alonso a bit this season, now he isn't under Flavio's armpit he seems to have become more bearable. He will not be a McLaren driver next year in my opinion. I also heard Fernando's agent say that "the truth will come out and you will be shocked to hear it" so I am eagerly anticipating what has happened in this past season.
WOW i have never seen such a biased opinion and favor towards a driver before!!!
Every random mechanical failure or random tactical choice was a conspiracy against poor Alonso???
ha ha ha LMAO ha ha ha
what a sore loser, i knew we would have seen his true colors this year!
Alonso was owned by Hamilton many times over, too many times for his proud to shallow, thats why he is leaving Mcalren and i m confident he is too scared to become Kimi's teammate too!
But as a Ferrari fan, i m glad that Mclaren will have a lot of internal problems to face,
they wont be able to compete with us next year...
