-- Thank Glock!?

YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! Hamilton brought it home!!! And he's the youngest driver to win the Formula One World Drivers' Championship!!!

[Two edits done to this post after initial post]





Seeing the Ferrari pit crew celebrating thinking Massa won was a big LOL!!! Poor mechanic had to break the news to them.


[grabbed from a forum ]

Why did they? Cause it was REALLY CRAZILY intense during the last moments...

• Everything looked fine for Hamilton to bring it home in the last 5 laps until the stupid ****ing rain came down. (he's in 4th place, while 5th place is all he need to win)
  
• Then came the decision to change to wet tyres or not.
• The front runners switch to wet... except Timo Glock (who was at 7th or 8th, i forgot), which put him in 4th and made him mixed in with the front runners.

• Hamilton's position became 5th with Sebastian Vettel very very close behind.
• Hamilton can't find the grip in his car and Vettel passed him!!!!! (shit moment for me)
  [based on this report >> http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article5069249.ece, it was the team that actually asked Hamilton to let Vettel through, as they had predicted that Glock would slow down, WHAT A GAMBLE!!]
  
• And everything came to an end for McLaren fans with 2 more laps to go... (NOT!)

• Massa passed the finish line in 1st place and with the WDC in his hands... for a moment.
  
• Timo Glock was slipping around with dry tyres in wet conditons.
  
• Hamilton and Vettel passed through Glock at the last corner.
• Hamilton wins the WDC in 5th place!!!!

The championship switched hands in the last few seconds... OMG. My heart was seriously pounding.

Catch all the action through this video, which is right after the pits with Hamilton still in front of Vettel... (Ferrari pit crew and Massa's family celebration included)

And the funny thing is...

• Sebastian Vettel didn't know his position when he was passing Hamilton... and the consequences ofcoz.
• Hamilton didn't know he won the WDC when he passed the finish line.

And to point things out further

• Glock didn't do Hamilton a favor, but his "stay-out-in-dry-tyres" strategy gave some last hopes of Massa winning actually.
  
• Glock would be the next to last person that would help Hamilton. Think Alonso-Hamilton's relationship... Alonso being the last person to help Hamilton..
  

And right at the end, Hamilton lined up behind Jensen Button's Honda which was catching fire but no one came to put it out... what a finale... lol.



Oh ya. I woke my mom up at about 3am with the shouting...
