WOW.

another incredible race that goes down in formula one history.

kimi clinching the title coming out of nowhere and hamilton making rookie mistakes and pushing way to hard in the begining and having a the car mess up on him during the race really bit him in the ass today. alonso was trying hard and had a nice pass in the begining there against his teamate and ferrari really displayed their skills putting two drivers in one and two and massas willingness to cooperate with the team and have kimi being able to get into p1 and take it home for the championship. great and fantastic displayed of coordinated team effort. kimi deserves this one and i was pleased with the results. now a new seasons is to be under the works with rumors of alonso and renault which i think or now official for a 3 year deal and mclaren getting back into it next year and bmw having a fantastic seasons this year finishing well this race and holding off the mclaren and passing when it counted. cant wait for them next seasons let alone f1.

Im pretty sure hes leaving mclaren, but that dosent mean hes going to renault, hense 'rumors' comment. I dont belive it until i see it on itv's website.

rumors.

I don't know about that. Alonso's admission to discussing the Ferrari design info and producing e-mails for the FIA sure didn't sit well with 'ol Ron - not to mention it didn't do RDs bank account any favors. For the last few races those two have been in a bit of their own cat fight. I will honestly be surprised if Ron keeps Alonso on board for 2008. On paper, Alonso may be contractually bound for more seasons with McLaren but no driver's contract is iron clad. Get good enough lawyers and watch them work their magic. If anything, it wouldn't surprise me that should Ron let go of Alonso, he will make the announcement as late as possible so as to limit Fred's options as to where he can go (usually by New Years' all the seat swapping is done for the next season).

At this point, I am 80% confident Fred will be going to another team for next year.

rumors.

Alonso has said that he has no intent to leave mclaren. Hamilton and Dennis both said they will not work with him again. Its an expensive soap opera

Great race! Wow. Can't wait for the final race! :D

[PiercedE30]

Brazil will be one hell of a race.

[Hick]

Now all those points lost by Kimi's falures have come back to haunt him.

No points in Spain, 8th in Monaco, no points in Nurinburg

[europeanplates]

Alonso and Hamilton need to take each other out and Kimi needs at least second. At least that is what I am hoping for.

great race!

F'n great race! Now we have three drivers in contention for the title going into the final round in Brazil. You couldn't ask for a more fitting way to conclude this rollercoaster season. These next two weeks will be crawling by for me :-(

F1 thread bumpage - Chinese GP this weekend. Missed practice last night but quali is on later this evening (early Sat. morning for you east coast folk). I recently checked on the weather for Shanghai, apparently there's a typhoon brewing off the coast of China right now.....not sure which direction it may be heading but if it goes in a northwest direction from its present position, its going straight into Shanghai. This could throw a monkey wrench into everyones' program. At the very least there's likely to be similar conditions to last weekends' race at Fuji.

Wonder if an F1 race has ever been scrapped due to excessive winds :?:

OMG, I just watched it (stayed out of this thread to not hear about the result).... I was on the edge of the seat for Kimi to get 2nd! Still, what a result to go from the back of the field to take 3rd... if they didn't drop from the front to the back he might have taken 1st or 2nd.... damn it.

There is still a chance ... go KIMI!
