This is the only title Kimi will see, Hamilton is gonna be back & he's going to be around for a long long time....

Others will develop in this sport and leave Kimi behind, his seat in Ferarri is a waste in my view, Massa needs to go too.....maybe at the end of next season

It stinks, Ferrari have the FIA in their pocket, the whole season was a farce, I'd have love to see Lewis lift the crown BUT has it has already been said the boys gonna be a round a long time, and Kimmi Raikinnon better keep looking over his shoulder because Lewis is going to hunt him down, I hate Ferrari with a passion and I seriously hope they get what is coming to them, and It's time the drivers got together and voted Max Moselyand Bernie Ecclestone out because the guys are a waste of space.
Cheers

Ferrari are likely to cake walk the next season imo. I don't see any other team being as fast

Don't forget that next season there is no traction control or sophisticated ECU's so the onus will be very much on the driver.

Oh dear, a sore loser is what we have here. Lewis is a major talent and a fantastic driver, but he and McLaren blew it this year plain and simple. There is no way Kimi should have lifted that title having been 17 points adrift with 2 races to go.

True, but the freeze on engine development may well mean Ferrari have basically a permanent power advantage for the next 10 years Not to mention having the best aero package.

To be honest I don't think the Ferrari engine is that much better if at all than the Merc or the BMW. Look at the same engine in the Spyker and Torro Rosso cars, not exactly great is it? There is a lot more to an F1 car than having a powerful engine.

I do however think that a 10 year freeze on engine development is pathetic in a series that calls itself the pinnacle of motorsport.

Seconded, real cars with massive engines, little grip and no electronics driven by real characters.

I am personally glad that Hamilton did not get the championship by default and am ready to bet he feels just the same.

The decision was predictable of course with some specious excuses for not being able to say whether the fuel in the car was cooler or what the ambient temperature was at the time. Why bother to have such a rule then?

It is worth remembering that the majority of the FIA members are ex Ferrari with Mosley in charge as well!
