For those patriotic Formula One fans out there, if there was a time to have a nervous breakdown, it was the last 2 laps of the Brazilian Grand prix last Sunday. With a clear position to have enough points to win the world championship, he gave way to let Vettell through, making him at position 6th, just not enough to win, but with 2 corners to go, he passed the Toyota of Glock and went back to fifth, allowing him enough points to a deserved world championship.

You can’t help feeling sad for Massa, who did nothing wrong that race and his family, who though he had won the championship as he went over the finish line. Especially his father, as the TV cameras zoomed in on both the celebrations and then tha bad news was told, when Lewis took position 5 back. Hearts were high, then low then high again, and a nervous breakdown was defiantly on the cards, during those final laps. What a finish.

It was shame for David Coulthard though, who finished his last F1 race on the first corner, once again hot from behind. This guy was well respected in the sport. The BBC will cover F1 next year, let’s hope the do as good or even better job than ITV.

Oh yes, a small campaign form breakdown cover net. Martin Brundle for the BBC.
