lots of drama....but thanks to the six wdc, we witnessed some serious wheel to wheel racings........the height that i doubt the current GP2 graduates can reach.
Watch out for Hulkenberg though, great talent.

Re: Alonso/Ferrari Vs Raikkonen/Ferrari
Hilarious all the people talking about Massa giving points to Alonso. How many times this season has Massa even been close to Alonso? That would be a valid argument if he'd been in position to affect the title race; indeed, Alonso might have won if Massa had taken points away from his rivals. maybe...

Re: Alonso/Ferrari Vs Raikkonen/Ferrari
2007 wasn't easy for kimi at all. Mclaren hold the setup, fuel loads and pit stop strategy details of Kimi's car, thats the reason of his slump on first half of the season.
When they get caught, kimi start flying and win 5 more races and podiums in most races.
