If the Renault engine had not been hampered by the FIA ruling on lockdowns,then they would have certainly made a strong challenge. Alonso is probably the rawest talent in F1 and performed wonders with the tools he was given.

Yes, I'm afraid I am. It's a horrible feeling too :(

Maclaren are a business, Ferrari are a pure racing team. You can see the passion in that team, and they deserve the constructors title. Takes the sting out of it for me.
Maclaren are devoid of any soul.......Ron Dennis infuriates me.....he incites a clear divide in the team. It happened with Hakinen and DC and it's happening again with the golden boy and Kovalianen.
Massa, Kubica, Glok, Vettell, Alonso are all much much better drivers than Hamilton.
All struggled (Massas father worked 5 jobs to support him in his early career) early in their career (read up on Kubica) due to lack of money. It was their drive, enthusiasm and passion that kept them going but Hamilton has had cash thrown at him from the start. Everything he is is because of Ron Dennis moulding him into a Maclaren cash cow (Santander adverts anyone?) He's a product, cooked up and programmed to do as Ron desires

Damn....time to shut up

Err...because it's been up and about there in qualifying and won 2 of the last 4 races? Alonso was 2 seconds behind Kimi and 3.3 behind Massa in China. Then there was 2nd here today... So that's 31 points in the last 4 races. Compared to 19 for Hamilton.

They are all hampered by that ruling, it hit honda hard as well. Just as they started to make progress they got hindered by that stupid rule.

Im really not sure Hamilton has learnt that lesson yet. Hamilton didnt grab the title with both hands today and declare it his, that would have been to drive at the front and pressure Massa all the way. Hamilton seems to fixate on playing it safe, driving ONLY for 5th when you require 5th for the championship is going to land you in situations where it may, or may not work out. Untill he masters this mindset he'll never be the complete driver

did you watch last year
hamilton lost last year though not driving to just get the points in some races
and with a few races left this year he was doing the same
trying to hard and messing up
so he did what he needed to do in the last race, so good on him

Could that be more to do with Alonsos talent than the car - his team mate still no where using the same machinery...

I just dont see the Renault being as good or better than the McLaren over the season...

No they arent - been a lot of engine reliability changes that somehow have improved the engine performance as one of the results - pure coincidence?

Stupidly it seems Renault and Honda took the rule literally while others bent them slightly...

Wow, I see OcUK has provided another F1 thread of opinionated tosh and petty arguments.

Im going to go elsewhere and celebrate that a British Driver in a British Team has won the Formula 1 World Drivers Championship.

.... before Max ruins the sport for good.
