Kimi Raikkonen, a 28 year old Finn, won his first F1 Chamionship after winning the Brazilian Grand Prix. Raikkonen was trailing McLaren's Fernando Alonso, last years champion and rookie Lewis Hamilton. Mclaren has mostly dominated the season.
Raikkonen won by 1 championship point after Hamilton had clutch problems early in the race and fell all the way back to 18 spot in the race. Hailton ended the race in 7th spot and Alonso in third, with Ferraris Fellipe Massa in second.
In what will be a reviewed and well remembered season for years, 2007 proved to be the most exciting season in a long time.
The Brits are having a bad week in sports: the loss to Russia, loss to South Africa, and now to Finland and Italy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7055442.stm

Not so fast Gryph! This was on the BBC website...
"Race stewards are investigating alleged irregularites with the cars' fuel.
Williams's Nico Rosberg was fourth in the race, followed by BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld.
If they were disqualified, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton would be promoted to fourth, giving him enough points to displace Raikkonen as world champion. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7055644.stm
This says as much as anybody ever needs to know about the FIA.

oh, please it isn't so....If they do this, it will just fuel the fire more that FIA is all politics and little racing.
Thanks for the update.
