Dramatic last race of the season gives Kimi Raikkonen his first driver title


What an amazing last race of the season this was.
Right at the start Raikkonen and Massa managed to put the 2 McLaren's behind them. Alonso overtook Hamilton in the second corner and the championship title was now in everyone's grasp.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, the young brittish driver lost control of his gearbox and found himself on 18th position. Filled with determination, Hamilton started climbing back the ranks, but his 7th place was not enough.
Up front Raikkonen passed Massa in the late stages of the race to overtake Alonso in the Championship by 1 point.
The final standings:
1. Raikkonen 110p
2. Hamilton 109p
3. Alonso 109p

What everyone wants to know now is what will happen with Alonso. Will Briatore buy him back? , will he choose Toyota's white check offer? The following days will probably clear this as well.
