Lewis Hamilton, really won in China. Massa take Lewis win in Belgium. The real result should be Lewis 102 points Belgium Massa 93 Points Belgium Also Glock, was on dry tyres and every other driver in front of him Lewis included was on wet tyres.

He deserved the win. Yes It would have been nice if it was a less traumatic last few laps but it would be very boring if it was too easy.I'm just so glad for him his family and the team for getting the ultimate revenge on Ferrari for '07 and keeping the focus and spirit despite all the stress on him

Alex Leavey, Victoria, Canada, Canada

Hamilton did a perfect race to win the championship, He was 4th and 5th the whole race. If anything he was unlucky in that Glock tried to finish the race by driving with the wrong tyres in the rain which backfired.

george, birmingham,

To Glenn, London I think you are slightly confused. Glock was in 6th position behind LH and Vettel before the rain started. It was only because of the tyre changes, which he opted out of, that he found himself in 4th position ahead of LH with 3 laps to go.
So Glenn don't hate - Congratulate.

If hamilton had none of the faults Jordan describes, then he would have won the title a month ago and would have won last year as well and we wouldn't be reading this becuase no one would be interested in watching a dull sport like F1. His faults make it exciting.

adrian, london,

Jordan's a has been and has no idea what he is talking about.

Given the stakes and, after last year, it was perfectly natural to be cautious second time round and the result just goes to prove it.

Well done Lewis, a well deserved victory by anyones standards.

Peter, Knapton, Norfolk, UK.

Oh dear, Max. In spite of all.....

But why does Max hate Mclaren? Can it be that Ron D has had fantastic success but MARCH... Who? Says it all.

Mic, Famalicao, Portugal

I think it just goes to show what a complete farce the sport is.

Your all apologists for a morally bankrupt sport. Whoever thinks Glock slowed down because of the weather might see pigs flying across they're window come tea time.

It was the great golfer Gary Player who said, "The more I practice, the luckier I get."

Luck is a two-faced mistress. For whatever reason, great champions seem to earn her graces more than others. But in the end, she still requires the victory to be earned.

David, Brentwood TN, USA

Anyone who is lucky for 19 races just has to be worthy of the WDC.

Derek Smith, Brighton, UK

Hamilton was lucky. Massa one more races throughout the season in a less reliable car.

Hamilton did not let Vettel by, nor did McClaren have any idea that Glock would come back to him so dramatically.

Both garages were shocked when Lewis went by Glock, dont try to re-write history.

Lee, London,

Only comment out of 250 starts Eddie Jordans team won 4 F1 races. Hamilton has already dwarfed this. Well done to Hamilton & Mclaran. I would not bother listening to the comments of a never been or in Football terms Milllwall.

Den, London, England

Lucky? Look at just how slowly Glock was going when Hamilton passed him, even considering the tire issue; maybe something aside from luck was at play...

But the look on the faces in the Ferrari pit at the moment of realisation was precious.

Alan A, Paris, Fr

This is a young man of extraordinary talent who may, one day, compare favorably to Jim Clark, Sterling Moss, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and the other lions of British Motorsports. He won the title fair and square. Applaud his accomplishment.

peter, miami, usa

I simply agree with Vernon Cooper - '... few business get on without a touch of luck...' - and so, Ferrari isn't going to find anything post race in order to give championship to Felipe. Ferrari has already had enough mistakes to regret this year. Let 2009 come!!! Congratulations to Lewis!!!

Mario Moraes, Araras - SP, Brazil

Mike, Chester, absolutely correct.....Massa was a better driver throughout the season, hamilton made mistakes while Massa lost points through his teams poor pit performance and bad engines.....Hamilton was indeed lucky....btw Woody & David, Glock could have changed tyres and still been ahead of LH

Glenn, London,

Whether it was sheer luck or good driving skills does it really matter? Give the lad his due and lets face it whatever you may think its a long time since we had an F1 world champion so I say well done.

Ann Armstrong, Leigh Lancashire, UK

It is claimed that the teams race for the constructors' title, not the drivers' title, but compare the elation at McLaren (who lost) with the despondency at Ferrari (who won). There is, clearly, only one championship worth a jot, and that is the one Lewis Hamilton won yesterday.

Steve, Altrincham,

Dull season, not like Mika vs Schumi or Alonso vs Schumi: glad it's over.

Richard Boyce, Haywards Heath, UK

Either Lewis or Massa would have been worthy champions. Massa waas unlucky with mechanical problems, but lewis was unlucky wiht stewards decisions bent a little towards massa (no, not belgium, but valencia where anyone else would have got a time penalty not a €10k fine)

Andrew, Cambridge,

Hamilton wasn't lucky.

Over the course of the whole season he was the best driver. The points prove it.

Thoughout the championship all drivers get a bit of good or bad luck. It makes no difference if it's in the first or last race.

The points are added up at the end!

Francis, Birmingham, England

It won't happen but what is needed now is to get the Ferrari influence out of the FIA. This is due to get worse next year apparently because it is rumoured that Schumi and a Senior
Executive are to Join the FIA. So don't be surprised if Ferrari win both titles next year. This gravy train must stop.

peter, Reading, U.K.

er, he was driving??
well done!!

Mike Bromley, KINGSTON UPON THAMES, UK

I'm sure that even now the 'Ferrari International Assistance' committee are beavering away trying to find some way to dock Lewis some points and hand the championship to Felipe.

After Spa anything is possible post race.

Bry Barnes, Somerset, Uk

....and Masa should of had a penalty in Valencia.

Tony, London, UK

Strange, the more he applies himself, the more his luck improves. The man is totally dedicated and few in business get on without a touch of luck.

Vernon Cooper, Somerset, UK

Of course Glock' s slow last lap allowed Hamilton to win his Championship. If Glock had stopped and changed to wet weather tyres he would have been behind Hamilton and so Hamilton would have got the points anyway. What's Eddie Jordan done of note recently?

David Lewis, Poole, UK

It strikes me that these tired old has-beens are always the first to criticise talent, probably because (at least in Jordan's case) they are talentless themselves. What is it they say, those that can do and those that can't run the team, maybe those that can't do even that just criticise!

Anthony , London, England

There is no way Lewis deserved to win. Massa was the better driver, in Brazil and throughout the season, and his grace in losing was champion behaviour. Hamilton's performance in Brazil was poor - he made an error under pressure (as usual), and was gifted 5th place.

Mike, Chester,

Ridiculous. If Glock had come in to change for Intermediate tires then Hamilton would have finished 5th. If Hamilton had stayed on slicks he would have saved on pit stop time and finished 5th too (if he could keep the car on the track). I say Lewis was unlucky that it rained! Still finished 5th!

Woody, London,

Yes, Hamilton was very lucky.

However, if he'd lost the title due to a spot of rain in the final ten minutes - after driving a faultless race - he'd have been very unlucky.

Cuts both ways.

Clive, Surrey,

Lewis deserved the title had Massa won the championship it would have been mainly due to the stewards who handed out tough decisions on Lewis and almost nothing to Massa. To knock Lewis off the track and receive only a drive through was contemptable & take away the VICTORY at Spa rediculous.
