    Hamilton, youngest even younger than the spanish guy, wot's his name... a yesterday man

    His name is Alonso, he's the guy that finished ahead of Hamilton 4 of the last 5 races in an inferior car. He also has 1 more WDC that Lewis, I guess you might hear more about him next year.....:pac:

    Does anyone know how far behind Glock was Hamilton after his Lewis took the final pit-stop. If it was only a few seconds, then there cannot be anything said against Timo. Only if he slowed significantly where the track was dry can any questions be asked.

    He was lying in 7th place before the rain started. If he had changed onto wets, then he would have at best finished in the same place, in which case Lewis would still have finished in front of him. He rightly took the gamble that he might be able to hold onto fourth as there were only a few laps left and much of the track was still dry.

    I didn't see him spin, just driving slowly into the final corners where Vettel and Hamilton passed him. If Toyota wanted to help McLaren (Why?!), all they would have to do was pit Glock as well.

    Glock was ~20 seconds behind when Hamilton pitted. Hamilton emerged ~8 seconds behind when it didn't start to rain heavily Glock moved to 15.618 seconds ahead on lap 69. So from lap 69 to 71 Glock lost over 21 seconds.

    Comparing Trulli to Massa, the gap was 59 seconds when Massa pitted on lap 67 to 40 seconds when Massa emerged. Massa started to pull away again and on the last lap Trulli lost ~25 seconds to Massa.

    When Hamilton started his last lap behind Vetel.. !
    Glock was already 15 seconds up the road... How can you lose that amount of time??
    I dont think everything adds up.. ( well.. except maybe for Glocks New bank account :rolleyes: )

    I'm no fan of Hamilton and I'm gutted to see him win the championship, but to suggest that Glock in some way "took a dive" is poor form imo. He was on the wrong tyres when it started to rain heavier. Simple as. We all saw what happened on the last couple of laps in Belgium with Heidfeld and Alonso. Today was a similar situation with drivers having the right or, in Glock's case, wrong, tyres to suit changing conditions.
