Super Lewis

Super Lewis, and super old news now. But I just wanted to say congratulations to Lewis Hamilton for winning the 2008 Driver's Championship. Despite my complaints, I did continue watching it and the final race in Brazil was breathtaking.
Hamilton needed to finish fifth or above to win the title and Massa was required to finish first. On a good day, an order of fifth or higher would have been no problem for Lewis. But this wasn't such a good day. Nevertheless, Hamilton managed to hold on to fifth place for most of the race.
During the final few laps, the rain came lashing down and almost everyone jumped in the pits for wets, including Hamilton and Massa. When the top cars pitted, Glock in the Toyota didn't and managed to climb up the field.
Vettel overtook Hamilton for fifth place on the penultimate lap, leaving a struggling Hamilton trailing further and further behind, but as he reached the top of the final hill he passed Glock, who was now struggling and took fifth place.
Amazing stuff, and possibly the most exciting finale. Of course, if the stewards hadn't interferred, it would have been over ages ago!
