What happened in the last few hundred meters of F 1 Brazil Station?

Massa cried because he almost touched his dream trophy. He might not be so excited if he hadn't been so close. Hamilton, sitting in MP4-23, seems to be wiping his eyes, too, because he almost repeated the sad scene of last year and saw the duck in his hand swish away again. For a few seconds, both Ferrari and McLaren pits cheered at the same time. This is the last grand prix of the season, and there is nothing more exciting. A few minutes later, Massa, standing on the podium in Brazil, finally smiled. In his home, in front of all the villagers who supported him, he did his best, and it was only a matter of time before he let go. On the other hand, 23-year-old Lewis became the happiest person. He is the youngest world champion in F 1 history and another British driver champion after damon hill. There is no doubt that he is the last and biggest winner tonight.

Hamilton's fear transcends

Hamilton 08 review

The weather forecast really didn't disappoint, saying that there would be showers and showers would come. Just before the race began, a sudden heavy rain visited Interlagos circuit, which delayed the race for ten minutes so that the team could change the wet tires in time. Heavy rain comes and goes quickly, but it is enough to change everyone's strategy and tactics.

As Massa said after the game, his performance at home this weekend was perfect, whether it was yesterday's ranking or today's game. The launch of the safety car was purely an episode (Coulthard came into contact with Rosberg Jr.' s Williams car after the start), and Ferrari's pit stop arrangement was also based on Massa. From pole position to champion, Brazilians always control everything. He must make sure that he has done his best, and then wait for a "miracle". ...

In fact, the miracle is really close.

As the track dried up, drivers stopped to change tires (Raikkonen stopped one lap late, leaving him behind Alonso and Vettel). Hamilton, who has surpassed Trulli and Fisichella, is firmly in fifth place, which is enough for him to win the championship. After Vettel's three stops, Hamilton rose to fourth place. However, just as the race became more and more boring, it was only a matter of time before it was announced to be over, and it began to rain again over the Greggs circuit in England. And when entering the last five laps, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

As a result, the leading driver had to stop again to change the neutral tire. After leaving the station, there was only one change in the order on the track, and Toyota driver Glock, who chose to continue dry tire fighting, squeezed into fourth place. Subsequently, Vettel, who was behind Hamilton, gradually launched an offensive against the former. With the help of the local train, Kubica, the trapped BMW driver, ran ahead of them because of his fast speed, which affected Hamilton's rhythm of entering the corner. Vettel successfully pushed Hamilton back to sixth place with two laps left in the race, which left him with nothing.

Hamilton has no better way to win Vettel. At the same time, Massa has crossed the black and white flag in the first place and should have heard the good news that his opponent is only ranked sixth. However, in the last corner before entering the finish line, Glock, who was still struggling without changing the wet tire, was overtaken by Wittler and Hamilton one after another, which made Massa go from joy to compassion, but Hamilton was just the opposite.

What can I say about this incredible process and ending? Combined with last year's closing ceremony, I might as well transfer the "responsibility" to a third party-God is fair.
