Hamilton Wins!

I am just immensely relieved and ecstatic at the same time* at Hamilton's maiden Championship win after a Brazilian Grand Prix of epic proportions with an absolutely nerve wracking last 30 seconds where all seemed lost at the penultimate corner but thanks to Timo Glock and the irrational Toyota decision not to switch to wet tires,Hamilton snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.It was as dramatic as it can get though you can't help feeling sorry for Massa.All I can think of now was that Hamilton deserved it.It was a season of many ups and downs with fortunes see-sawing like mad but Mc Laren did pull it back in the last few races.The most defining moment award of the season (after the finale of course) would go to: Massa coming out of the pit lane in Singapore with the fuel hose attached :D **. Let's hope we see more and more such Hamilton championship wins and such great entertaining races.

PS:Nicole Scherzinger of PCD was there to cheer her man on.no wonder he held his nerve :)

*it has been such a great year for sports in general isn't it? First we had India winning the Perth test, then Rafa winning Wimbeldon,then India winning three medals at the Olympics and Phelps single-handedly changing the way we look at swimming and now this.

and we go to Brazil......

THE BAD GUYS

It was frustrating to watch Lewis get stuck in the pit-lane-gravel and even more frustrating to see Kimi win.I was kinda hoping Hamilton will seal it today but that was not to happen.If only McLaren had called him into the pit lane one lap before.However this leads us to an absolutely gripping Brazilian Grand Prix and the championship again being decided in the last race.The points tally reads as follows:
1. Lewis Hamilton 107
2.Fernando Alonso 103
3.Kimi Raikonnen 100
(10 points for 1st place,8-for 2nd and 6 for 3rd)

so Lewis can win the Driver's Championship if he comes 1st or 2nd.However if he comes 3rd and Alonso 1st then it is an absolutely delicious case of a tie-which I do not know how FIA resolves.Kimi can only win if comes 1st or 2nd and that too if the other two do not make it to the podium.So it is really only about Alonso vs Hamilton.Keeping fingers crossed for the 21st.


update:Yeah all you comment trolls-Kimi won. and the most F-ed up part was I couldn't watch the race.couldn't watch bcoz i don't have a TV or a radio and almost puked in the morning when I saw the papers.and yeah-NO MORE ANONYMOUS COMMENTS.I am putting an end to the guessing game that I play every time I see a new comment.so there.

I am Jack's indecisiveness wrapped in a sheath of fatalistic tendencies
