Massa " i caught and passed Kimi" WTF the arse It's a silly rule, but if it's being applied, then surely this should be looked at by the officials, particularly in light of the two Ferrari's lap times throughout the race?

The PR guru's have obviously been at work with Hamilton.
He was obviously delighted with the win, and rightly so
He was very restrained though, both in his manner in the weighing room and during the post race press conference
I got the feeling that he really wanted to jump up and down to display his true feelings
He is still very young after all
And he is this country's first real hope for a true champion of the F1 world for many years
Damon Hill and David Coulthard (although he never won a championship) were never true champions IMO, although Nigel Mansell clearly was
He should be supported for this and he is an epic talent IMO

Ferrari have clearly had the better car this season, but they don't have the best driver, no where near.
Well done Lewis

He lives in Switzerland to dodge tax.
You should be cheering for Mark Webber as not only is he a brilliant driver, he also contributes to the British Tax coffeurs!
Not only that, Webber always gives an interview pre race, yet Hamilton doesn't.

Does anyone not think that there was team order for Ferrari?
It's a silly rule, but if it's being applied, then surely this should be looked at by the officials, particularly in light of the two Ferrari's lap times throughout the race?

Ferrari radio Kimi and say "let him pass" = Penalty
Kimi "independantly" lets Massa through = no penalty
