So, finally one of the most exciting F1 championships ended with Lewis Hamilton being crowned at the very last corner. It was a completely disheartening time for Massa, who initially believed he had won only to lose it at the very last corner as Timo Glock's decision to stay on dry tires backfired.
Though Lewis is a great driver, I feel that Massa deserved it more. He had two sure wins in Hungary and Singapore taken away by other people's mistakes. Lewis by comparision did not have a single retirement. If things had worked out, Massa would have won quite comfortably.
On the whole, bar the occasional race, I found that the F1 races were becoming extremely boring and for the first time in many years, I did not watch a couple of races. The farce of the safety car lottery also made it worse, I'd rather that the cars start overtaking each other on track. Hopefully with the massive change in rules for 2009, we will have a better spectacle.
My picks for the best drivers and races
Races: Canada, Britain, Belgium, Singapore, Brazil. Three of these were rain affected and two were influenced by the safety car. Anyone see a problem here?
Best drivers: Kubica, Vettel, Alonso, Massa, Hamilton
Most underperforming drivers: Kovy, Raikonnen, Bourdais, Button, Fisichella
