Had to watch ITV's piss-poor highlights program because I was working during the race , and didnt want to find out the result until i saw it meself ... which I just have.
Well done to Alonso of course , and MS didnt do too badly , but I really found myself getting far more excited about the mid-field pack ...
Feel really sorry for Toyota , I thought they deserved on or just off the podium for their great Japan round and Qualy here too was excellent for them , a real shame.
DC , dunno what happened to him but felt a little sorry for him too , am sure he would have wanted to finish.
BMW have been poor , not what i expected , would have liked to see them a little higher.
Excellent by Robert Doornbos , a promising driver for sure , started 22 and ended 11th or something ? Wicked.
1 driver though I had never really taken note of because of his environment ( Ferrari ) , I always thought of him as a second or a even a temp. at Ferrari , but WOW , my opinion has changed. Felipe Massa , a genuine guy and a genuine contender for the championship next year , good luck to him seriously !.
Mclaren I dont really know what to say , the commentators said it pretty well ... they didnt win 1 race all this season ! and next year the 2-times world champion is coming to race for them , they need to have something decent to give him.
Anyway , well done to Alonso and Renault and Ferrari , and congrats and thanks to Shumacher for letting us watch a great career.
