It’s true when they say a championship is won over a season and not one race. Then again, if it wasn’t for the two retirements in the first two races this season and the catastrophic fuel hose incident at Singapore, Massa could have well been leading the way on the leader board. On Monday, Hamilton affirmed Massa’s bad streak by taking away the World Championship from him.

To me, Felipe Massa is equally or more deserving of the Championship than Lewis Hamilton. It was a one point win, made possible by Timo Glock losing grip of the Toyota at the last lap; giving heads for Hamilton to overtake and securing the fifth place he needed for the win.

Hamilton has skills but he clearly lacks experience. What he knows about winning to driving is nothing compared to the other veterans on track. But most of all it is his lack of composure and cloying arrogance that clouds peoples’ perception of him.

The win is his this year but will he win again? I’m afraid to say that if he doesn’t change before the next season that’s highly unlikely to happen. LUCK doesn’t come twice.

Anyway, here are three drivers I will be rooting for and looking up to next year (no particular order):

1. Felipe Massa
Position: 2nd
Team: Ferrari
My thoughts: Skillfully aggressive especially during stress. Great response matched with quick thinking makes him a devil in tight situations. His resolution to win next year will be stronger than ever.

2. Robert Kubica
Position: 4th
Team: BMW Sauber
My thoughts: Steady driver even under extreme stress. Winning podium after podiums. Scored the same amount of point as Kimi Räikkönen (3rd) in the driver's standing this season.


3. Fernando Alonso
Position: 5th
Team: Renault
My thoughts: What can i say, The True All-Rounder. Previous winner of two World Driver Championships, Alonso has shown good consitency throughout this season even on a weaker Renault. Imagine him in a Ferrari or McLaren!!

The rivalry.

So close yet so far.. but a true sportsman indeed.

Alonso. my man.

Will be looking forward to next year's Singapore GP!
