As Felipe Massa crossed the finish line today in the final F1 race of the year his family started to celebrate the World champion ship title just 10 seconds to soon. With Hamilton in 6th position coming into the last bend it seemed certain that Massa had not only won on home turf but also gained the title by one point.
The final race of the year turned out to be one of the best races for many years, with the weather changing so many times during the race made it a real old fashioned cat and mouse chase for the  World Championship title. Massa drove the perfect race from start to finish and barring a major error of mechanical failure was not going to be caught but we all sat on the edge of our chairs right to that last corner when Hamilton took Sebastian Vettel seconds before going over the line in 5th position giving him the Champion title.

Well done Lewis. It’s great to have a British Champion again.
