Bravo Ferrari! Bravo Kimi!

Congrate to Ferrari team and Kimi Raikonnen!

Finally Kimi wins the world driver's championship! I was once wonder if Kimi will be the best driver never to wins the world championship, and still I was in such thinking when Kimi was once 26 points behind Lewis Hamilton.

Now that 2007 season over and the title secured, he deserve a nice break from F1, then start preparing for the 2008 season, as done by former Ferrari great, Michael Schumacher. I believe Kimi will be the same - give him a car and he will push it to the limit trying to win for the team, and himself.

One thing I wonder now is: Is this result pre-fix? Is it really history repeated itself that when the title showdown gone to the length, the pair with the highest chance will not win and that the one least expected wins it! Or is this an instruction by FIA so championship is exciting thru to the end, and that drama after drama happened, which will keep spectators groaning!

Or this is the price for McLaren-Mercedes to pay for possessing Ferrari's 780-page confidential info? I wonder why FIA only stripped off their constructors point, where drivers kept theirs when it was clearly found that McLaren-Merc guilty of such offence. Maybe this is just to keep the championship alive, and that McLaren-Merc is the only team that's capable to take the race to Ferrari.

So my prediction is that this year's championship is a pre-fix in order for McLaren-Merc be able to race next year. Leave your comments/views please.

Glad to know that I am not the only one thinking that way. I believe the driver's championship has been fixed as well.

Why didn't they strip off the McLaren drivers' points? If they did that, that means both the championship were decided based on penalties off track. That way, who else want to watch the remaining F1 races?

That is probably why they let them keep the points but somehow they have to "lose it" at the end. Did you see the faces of the Ferrari crew after Kimi won? No reaction at all. Not much at least. It is a miracle that Kimi won but they act worse than Kimi winning a normal race.

I wrote a long post on this in my blog. You can check it out.
