Default Toyota helps Hamilton grab F1 Championship (fishy business!)

Hamilton is new F1 champion but thanks to Timo Glock who LET him and Vettel pass him at the last turn right before checkered flag!!

Timo was driving mind blowing 18 seconds slower on his last lap and 6 second slower at last few turns!!

Hamilton needed 5th place to be the champion and one turn before the finish he was 6th. If you take a look at the replay Glock actually moves to the side to let Vettel (5th) and Hamilton (6th) pass by. At the second I thought they are lapping Trulli

Toyota better get something really good out of McLaren next year

I turned on the race (we just got Speed TV in high def (finally!) this week) during the last two laps. Good timing

Reason Glock and Trulli were slowest at the last lap, is because they were running on slicks (only ones on track) and in last lap, rain was so heavy that they lost 25 seconds per lap, and Glock went from 4th to 6th and Trulli from 7th to 8th...

And if Toyota changed to intermediate tires when everyone else did, they would have been 7th and 8th, so Glock gained one position at the end...

Congrats to Hamilton. They're making a HUGE deal of it over here in the U.K.
