Enjoyed the race. Great last turn of the last lap of the last race in 2008!

Great race though by Massa and congrats to Hamiltion it was close which made it better roll on next season.


I just hope they don't screw up the rules too much next year. I'm not a fan of the move towards spec cars, common ECUs, rev limits, possible common engine, etc.

I'd like to see technology and experimentation allowed once again in F1

I agree hopefully it wont but the slick tyres and aerodynamic changes will cause some problems I reckon at the beginning of the season with the cars unreliable due to getting used to the new changes. I think it could benefit Honda and Force India as they have been preparing for the 2009 season rather than concentrating on 2008 season same with BMW roll on 2009.

HONDA could certainly use a boost, I doubt both Toro Rosso and Red Bull scoring more points sits well with HONDA's bean counters.

Too right they could, Jenson Button is a good driver and he seemed very disapointed with Honda this season but hopefully they can catch the middle pack or be closer for 09.

Considering both the length and $$$ of their and Toyota'a involvement I'd think there must be pressure for consistent podium finishes.

Well I would love to see more from them both teams have talented drivers plus it would make F1 all the more interesting having more teams battling it out for a podium.
