Cant help it if the car needed another 1L of fuel. But you are right, Lewis didnt look steady...choke is a tuff word but played it so safe it almsot cost him big time. All said and done, when it came down to the wire Massa shined, Lewis stumbled and got VERY LUCKY!!!!!!!

fuuuuuuck me that was heart in mouth stuff at the end

'grats Lewis Hamilton- 2008 F1 World Drivers Champion!!!!

to the haters, suffer in your jocks :D

2008 WDC my ass!!!!!! 2007-08 choker champion.......the dumb shit choked as always, utterly joke of a champion, his only saving grace was that idiot glock

glock you sack of shit, I have lost all respect for that guy.

LOL, funny enough if Lewis had gone out there and won today, or even drove confidently to a strong 3rd or 4th then hats off. But to win the way he did...lol more then ever i dont think he deserves this years WDC :D

Roll on next year where if we are lucky we will have Mclaren, Ferrari, BMW and Renault all fighting. Who knows perhaps Vettel can help RBR with setup and development and provide that little fraction that improves the team to more regular podiums.

But, 2008, the year of the indeserving WDC :)

... and roll on all the McLaren fans and Lewis fans. :) At the end of the day he had the most points so is the WDC. Congrats on achieving so much at such a young age and giving McLaren its first WDC in almost a decade

Well Massa did everything right...

What more can be said..

Lewis Hamilton 2008 F1 Champion...

Drive of the day imo, split between Vettel and Massa...

Glock..... OOooooo you bastard....

You heard it here first...

Honda will be the dark horses next year, yup, Honda will be this years equivilent of Renault-Toyota next year... For some reason, that team is gonna shoot up, as will, BMW and Renault themselves... Also, Vettel deserves a seat in a top team, Toro Rosso taming the Silver Arrows in the wet, Sebastian... You ARE A STAR!!!

I want to see onboard with Glock for the last lap. He was 18s or so in front of Louise or so, could it be that he let Louise through? I didn't think it was all that wet...

lol at the sudden change in mood at the Ferrari garage after Lewis overtook Glock :D

I lol'd. That was karma at its best!

Lewis got lucky more then deserving. Massa provided the WDC worthy drive... lol Lewis did a Bradbury :)

Lewis did what he had to do this week and whilst the FIA did a Ronald Biggs to him all year

He's only going to get better now

doubt it- he and Trulli lost the same amount of time in the last lap

Who knows , either fuel or tyres. But probably all works out in the end. Lewis got lucky with a few Ferrari mechanical failures and Heikkis car the only one going bang, hitting walls at Monaco etc. But on the flip side had some fair had some perhaps tough calls and Massa some good calls. Still, was a great season, who would have thought we would have two years of such close finished.

Vettel, Kubica, Massa and Alonso all proved their class in 2008. Heikki proved he is no match for Lewis and Lewis has again demonstrated that when he improves mentally he will be evern more formidable given a competitive McLaren

I want to see onboard with Glock for the last lap. He was 18s in front of Louise or so, could it be that he let Louise through? I didn't think it was all that wet...

Both toyota's ran similar times on the final lap....not exactly easy to coreograph when going that slow and matching times to the second

He's only going to get better now

Providing his helmet fits by the time next season comes around...

Koob, Hammo, Kimi, Massa, Gonzo....

Jesus, what a spectacular recipie for a 09 Grand Prix season......

Lewis did what he had to do this week and whilst the FIA did a Ronald Biggs to him all year

Lewis has done plenty this year to prove himself and credit to him be worthy of the WDC, but no way was today's efforts his best effort or really good enough. It took the hands of god and blind fortune to give him the WDC. You could tell by the McLaren reaction they were jsut as surprised as Ferrari so it wasnt as though they were on the radio telling Lewis its ok, you will be 4th...drive to 5th. His WDC at the crunch was luck that got him accross the line...but it hasnt been that way all season. Often you need good fortune...so bugger,

Bring on Vettel vs Webber next year. If Webz can beat him he will prove himself as one of the best drivers in F1 given what Vettel has been able to do in a pretty sorted car

Here are some pointers I'm going to put up here:

Lewis's ultimate break - Monaco, who smacks into a wall and wins??

Massa's ultimate downfall - Singapore, saw it with my own eyes, 10 points here would've sealed the deal, Hungaroring blowup or not.

Lewis's lucky strike - Glock at Interlagos, I too would love to see the onboard from that final lap, he must've fallen off the track... Last corner repreive for Louise..

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
