What an extraordinary race! The last three laps were some of the most thrilling F1 action that we've seen in years. And, naturally, the stewards are involved again, after the Hamilton/Raikkonen incident, demoting Hamilton, and giving the race to Massa. When are the stewards going to realise that this is motor racing, not ballroom dancing? Clearly this was a racing incident. Hamilton quickly realised that he'd taken the lead unfairly by cutting the chicane. He clearly yielded the place as he and Raikkonen crossed the start/finish line, and then the batte began again, all square. Let's hope that common sense prevails, but frankly it's unlikely... Whatever the result of the stewards' enquiry, Hamilton currently still leads the championship. Bring on Monza!
My September 8 comments relate to the Belgian Grand Prix the day before. Hamilton won the race, but was judged to have gained an unfair advantage by cutting a chicane, despite giving the place back to Raikkonen. The decision was upheld on a technicality on 22 September. Since then, of course, we have had Vettel's shock win in Monza, and the championship is finally poised with four races to go. Currently Hamilton leads with 78 points, one point ahead of Felipe Massa. Robert Kubica is third with 64 points, while Kimi Raikkonen is in fourth with 57 points. See above for my preview of the night race in Singapore.
Lewis Hamilton's nail-biting fifth-place finish at yesterday's Brazilian Grand Prix - winning the 2008 drivers' World Championship by just one point - was one of the most extraordinary Formula One performances ever. It was also extraordinary, unforgettable TV - a rollercoaster ride of emotions from the soggy slippery start to the extraordinary last lap. It really did look like Felipe Massa had won the championship until those last two corners when Hamilton came past Timo Glock.
Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton. It will be fascinating to see how the 2009 season unfolds. Bring it on!
