Best team won though, no?

Shame the best driver didn't.

Ferrari got the most points, they won. Hamilton got the most points, he won. It's all very well and good being the best driver in the universe but if you don't perform on the day, it's a pointless label. It's a simple and fair system and if you have any problems with it I'm sure the FIA will be more than happy to ignore any letters you send them.

if you want to have a go at hamilton for the canadian gp mess up, what about massa the year before? he didn't stop for the red light either. can also read the 3 dangerous things massa did this season, not to mention not being able to control his car at silverstone

Talk about a nail biting finish! I'm glad Hamilton won in the end though. It would have been a shame if Hamilton didn't win when you consider the several dodgy steward decisions that have gone for Massa and against Hamilton this season.

I don't think it made any difference about Glock being on the dry tires though. Presumably if he had pitted for intermediates instead he would have still been behind Hamilton in 6th on the final lap, so the outcome would have been the same anyway. Still, I've noticed people on other sites reading too much into it already.

Congrats to Lewis!

Not as if they redesigned thier whole car, the technology is still there.

Oh please, spare me. Last I checked McLaren have always been as competitive as Ferrari.

The best man won. Had Massa not been handed points by Raikkonen and the stewards (pit lane incident + Bourdais incident) Hamilton wouldn't have even needed to finish in the points to claim victory.

Massa only gained one point from the Bourdais incident.

Hilarious!

If I were Hamilton I'd walk away from F1 now and never come back. He's given his all to the sport for the last two years and all he's got in return is utter contempt.

Congrats Lewis, the sport really does not deserve you.

An F1 car design changes so much in a season a 2 year old design has no chance of being competative.

People are still bickering about the McLaren spy affair from 2007? Good heavens. Lighten up.

Back on topic: Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton. He deserved the title, having all in all been the better driver throughout the year.

I'm a Ferraristo, but will admit that the team did a dreadful job on too many occasions. Just think of the many 'meh' races R?ikk?nen had in the second half of the season, or the comical scenes in the pits (Massa's pit stop at Singapore for instance).

Man of the race today: Sebastian Vettel. The guy must have a major testicular advantage. Hadn't it been for Timo Glock struggling during the last lap the English press would have lynched him right there.

Here's to a great 2009 season.

He was also handed 2 points by Raikkonen and possibly 1 or 2 from not serving a drive through penalty after almost causing a pit lane crash.

Want Massa's fault in the pits, it was the Stupid light system, I must say a bad move by Ferrari. ANd Any team mate would let the other one through in that kind of situation.

Pretty much sums it up.

Sad to see it end that way. Massa deserved the championship. Still cracked me up seeing the ferrari team being told they didnt win. Not a huge fan of the team, just like their drivers.

Anyways, sad to see the season end. Was a really good season. Will be interesting to see how Alonso starts off next year. He's been doing great things at the end.

Alonso was impressing me over the last few races. Not his biggest fan, but he can't half drive!

...

Have to agree with you there! I'm really not his biggest fan at all but his driving has been rather seemless of late. Next season will be interesting, but then its all down to renaults car next season, can they provide?

Watching the days highlights now :D

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
