What a crazy year, I just got into the sport (as a fan obviously) and was really intrigued all year long. McClaren's dismissal and fine was unbelievable.

I was really impressed by Hamilton, and wish he had won the final.

Wild... I can't wait for next year! I'm going to watch every race.

fantastic season, kept the suspense up the whole time. Ferrari earned a great win this year after some hard time in the middle of the season with DNF's. Raikkonen finally gets a little luck after his years of mechanical failures.

It's about time Kimi had his day.. He's deserved it as much as Schumi and Alonso have from time to time. It would have been cool to see Hamilton win the drivers' championship, but he made some really telltale rookie mistakes. That being said, he's got a really promising career in front of him, and I'm sure he'll win the championship in the near future.

Definitely. Though saying Ferrari earned the win isn't something I would completely agree with, McClaren was in the lead. Was the technology they stole really impacting that lead though?

Explain to me how Ferrari didn't earn at least the driver's championship. The constructors is debateable, but the driver's championship is a pretty solidly earned win for Ferrari.

Good season and very good last race. But this is the best part:

Hamilton did not have any gearbox problems, he accidentally turned the car of in the 8th lap!
