By a solitary point

Lewis Hamilton is the new and youngest F1 champion edging out Massa by finishing fifth in the Brazilian grand just ahead of Glock in the very last lap of a rainy race. How disappointing for Massa. But it is always exciting to see the championship go to the wire - the last lap of the last race.

Force India did not score any point this season but finished ahead of Super Aguri. It has been a tough year for Mallya on all fronts.

I wonder what the future holds for Raikkonen at the Ferrari as he finished nearly 20 points behind Massa and Hamilton.

Yes, it's interesting and gripping for F1 fans.

But as a Ferrari fan, i was totally disappointed :(
I still smell something fishy in Glock slowing down at the final corner of the final lap!
And it is totally unFerrari like to fight till the race and last point!!

Anyway, Massa really lost his championship title race in Singapore itself. Everything after that is a good comeback.
It is time Ferrari seriously looks at improving their strategies. I think this year Driver championship loss can only be attributed to this.

Yes Glock's slow down was too dramatic :)

Good season... very close. They should however rename force India to just gravity indian owner or something more ridiculous... there is nothing Indian about that team.

I never liked the name force India - seems more like a Alistair Maclean novel than a car...

And very hard to root for the team/car.
