It will be an exciting race tomorrow morning. I am sure HK will run wingman for LH as FA is just within striking distance of repeating last year's memorable wheel-to-wheel banging on the first few corners....
OT: Pagpupuyatan ko ito malamang, at bukas sa opisina ay paniguradong kailangang lakad ng lakad at inom ng inom ng kape...
Well Done Lewis Hamilton! You beat everything that was put in your path,on and off the Track. Worthy champion at such a young age and may there be many more, congratulations!
Whew! I missed the excitement early this morning. I have to hit the bed at 2:40AM with 17 laps to go as LH is secured at 5th place and there appeared to be no chance that FM will win the WDC.
Anyway, I read the news this morning at www.formula1.com and there was a drama in the closing laps because it rained and the leaders pitted for the wet weather tyres (except TG). On the 70th lap, LH who was on 5th place slid wide and SV grabbed the 5th place, effectively pushing back LH to 6th (and with this position he is bound to lose the WDC). However, they caught up with TG who was still on dry weather tyres, on the last corner of the last lap and both of them overtook him. So, LH finished 5th and that's all he needed to win the WDC!
