Kimi Räikkönen, Finland!!

Olli Snellman

Yes, it's good to be a Finn

Who actually belived Kimi can make it...

Now we have just to wait Marcus Grönholm take the WRC championship. If that happens we have taken the two main titles of automotive racing.

Quite good for the nation of little bit over 5 million inhabitants

Well deserved! Next season will be awesome.

Any of the F1 drivers who has had a 951?

Strange Ecclestone knew who was going to win the world title when he did his pit lane walk!

I'm so glad Kimmi got it and not Alonso! It is a long time coming for him. Kind of ironic that the very thing that prevented him clinching it previously when he drove for Maclaren i.e. reliability, is the very thing that helped him achieve it this time round when Hamiltons gearbox had a funny turn.

N-Dub

Go Kimi!!! As Coulthard once put, "Dead from the feet up" but I still love him!!

Latest is the BMW team are being scrutinised due to 'Fuel Irregularities'. If both BMW cars are disqualified or get knocked down a couple of places then we could be looking at a change of champion!!! I'll be looking with interest tomorrow morning!!

This is a great day for us Finns everywhere. Kimi is the World Driving Champion. Onneksi olkoon, Kimi.

Yea, but his fuel mixture is an issue that might strip his title. I hope not, he is an awesome driver.

Olli Snellman

If that will happen, Kimi is still the moral winner who DROVE to the title. If Hamilton will rise to the champ, he didn't get his title by driving.

Congrats to Kimi and all the Finns! I was soo hoping it to happen though he didn't have the best chances.
Wonder how big of a party was 80 kms from Tallinn on the other side of the Gulf of Finland

I just hope that no one gets disqualified for fuel that's temperature is lower than usual.

I'm torn on this one. I've been rooting for Kimmi for some years and think he has been robbed in the past due to reliability letting him down at the cruicial moment, however on balance I feel that Hamilton deserves it more this season as he has been more consistent through the season and I feel for him. Lets face it, the only reason Kimmi has the crown this season is because Hamilton screwed up in Japan and was unlucky in Brasil - i.e. he only won it by relying on others' failings and misfortunes. I'm sure if Maclarens appeal is successfull then it wouldn't be the way Hamilton would want to win it, but i'm sure he would get over it. At the end of the day if BMW has gained some advantage from their fuel irregularities then it is only fair for everyone who finished behind them that things are straightened out. Afterall they did to extraordinarily well in Brasil compared with their results from the rest of the season.

Did you guys see that he actually smiled at the post race interview.....I didn't know he could do that!

It was just from the fumes of that funny fuel he uses.
Besides, Keke in his prime would have him for breakfast!!!
