The Formula One season ended yesterday at Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brasil, with the long awaited world champion title to Kimi Raikonnen. And what a race it was!!!
The rookie Lewis Hamilton had a fairly easy run ahead of him from 3rd pole, though the pressure was immense after missing the titel in Shanghai two weeks ago, where he from 1st position crashed going to the pit, and thereby blew the competition wide open.

Yesterday, Hamilton had a smooth start until turn 3, where he lost his car and went off track and respostioned himself at an 8th place. From a 5th place the championship would be his, and considering that he in his last season in GP2, once won a race by overtaking 20 cars, yesterdays start posted no impossible task.

From pole Felipe Massa pulled off with Kimi close at his tail, while third contender Fernando Alonso, lost his pace and got stigmatised in a no good 3rd position. Meanwhile Hamilton slowly gained pace again and made it to 6th, when his gearbow haywired. That dropped him back 14 positions. From there on the race for the title was open, but with 17 laps to go Massa made a pitstop and iceman Raikonnen did two incredible fast laps, shaved off 4 seconds, and Massa came out behind from the pit, and the championsship was at hand.

Absolutely the best race of many season, that - to me and my favourite driver ended totally just. With 6 races won this year Raikonnen has proven he is a true champ, but whoa it was close. The final result goes:

1. Raikonnen, 110 points.
2. Hamiltion, 109 points.
3. Alonso, 108 points.

And so the crazy season starts.New cutting edge designs, Contracts, firings, new engines, partying and frolicking. F1 2008 kicks off in march again.
