Iceman Does it !

It's Final ! It's Kimi All Over. Who could have ever imagined this? Though practically possible, it was the rarest chance for him. But he did it. He is the new Formula 1 Wold Champion. What a fantastic season ! What a race to end it. Amazing, truly amazing.

It was one of the most fought and thrilling season where championship is decided in the last race and the margin between champion and runner up is just one point. I was always in favour of rookie Lewis Hamilton. He had a very brilliant season and he truly deserved to win. But few mistakes, may be tough luck costed him the championship.

The Brazil race started with a fantastic Ferrari strategy. Massa coming from the pole, blocking Lewis and Kimi taking over. No chance for Lewis to take control as Alonso also passes him and suddenly Lewis was at 4th place. It was all in first 30 seconds. It really is the best ever start I have seen. On the fourth corner of the first lap, in the anxiety of retaining position, Lewis could not control his car and went off the track. Lewis was now down to 8th position. All hopes were not vanished till his car slowed down dramatically. He lost 11 places only to find him at 18th position. But the guy fought back, only to reach 7th position. Had he taken over one car, he would have been world champion. But that was not his fate.

On the other hand, what a performance from Kimi. He started a race with bang. After Massa's pitstop, he recorded the fastest lap of the race and increased distance between him and Mass. Then took the pit stop and came ahead of Massa out of pits to retain his lead. Truly fantastic racing. He started this season with win and he ended it with win. There was lot of criticism about his dismal performance in mid of the season and critics even doubted Ferrari's choice as successor of Michael Schumaker. Now, he has proved. He is a true successor.

It truly was a fantastic season. Every single race was eventful and there were lot of "Off the track" events for which this season will be remembered. Finally Ferrari came out as both, constructors as well as Drivers champion. Next year, it will be again a hard fought race. It starts in March, 2008. Till then Happy Racing ! Enjoy !
