Beautiful itself when a driver scored the golden medal and owns the biggest number of them, and that gives him the World Title. But there's a lot in that game which I don't like simply, I commented that being regular is very important to win a championship. But I'm sure I defend a lost cause, when Mr. Ecclestone has one idea between his lashes he usually doesn't let it escape. Also he has few times mistaken, but he always managed to take profit from the situation. I'm sure Massa was the proper driver to get the World Title this season when he won more races than all his rivals, but Hamilton's fans would cut my head off if I didn't accept that the ones from McLaren did a better car which didn't break that much as the Ferrari ones. So still Lewis Hamilton deserves that championship not for the great results seen, just because he was holding on top until the end with consistent races.

Having this in mind I am with Stew on this one - how come when event like this is organized there is even a chance for a 4WD to appear going head on against the bikers ... well, I visited Tasmania I think 3 years ago and must say that is really punishing environment. it is beautiful but the mountains are tough and the roads there are not exaclty 4 lane highways.

Massa 2. Hamilton 3. Raikkonen 4. Alonso 5. Kubica 6. Kovalainen 7. Vettel In the case of the top 2 who knows what would have happened if they had to go for win race in race out instead of preserving the points lead. at the same time I believe that Ferrari would throw their support behind Massa few races earlier. the only one eliminated from top 7 would be Heidfeld as he won zero races. getting rid of those good old and POPULAR Grands Prix is something that will one day come back to haunt Mr Ecclestone

He suits the idea of RedBull company I think, but does he suit the idea of an F1 principal??? If he gets hurt and does not get fit and be in excellent shape, the team managers should be worried about, after all the car doesn't drive itself!! And also any professional driver should think about his own health, his body won't last young long and it is the period of their life to care about being competitive and not being injured. But well, now it's time to rest well after a long season and Webber has opportunity to recover and be fit for the next season, doesn't matter much if he does test or not because there're already test-drivers for these purposes. Good luck for him is that he got the resources (the interest and the money from an F1 team), to be perfect conditions for the next season. But he's accident is still a reason for discuss, some illness can only be treated well if the patient has got the means to be treated. While he will be done in 3 months or less with his broken leg, an usual man will need about half a year or more to fix he's problems (telling that with own experiences). And I do pity Mark Webber, but that things happen to anybody. Sorry also for Stew and hopefully you recover soon :-) I guess this isn’t his first broken bone, as very active sportsman he’s treating and almost punishing his body usually to very hard conditions all the year long (I’ve also read that he’s mad about every kind of sport, he’s very competitive and practice them without stop).
