The only reason why Kimi won was because Massa let him win. Massa should have won the race, Kimi Second and Alonso third, which would mean Alonso world Champion.
Alonso has had no team mate all year and should have been the Champ, but Massa let Raikkonen take the lead. Totally unfair.
Alonso has been screwed by teammate Hamilton, team McLaren, Ferrari and FIA. Pretty sad.

If Kimi would have Hamilton as a team mate the new champ would be Alonso.

It's called "teamwork." Don't insult him that way, Kimi deserves his championship win. Alonso has sort of redeemed himself a bit but Hami trodges on on his horse going "I'll win it next year." You might wanna think twice.

Nobody cheated. If it comes down to the last race and there's a chance that one of the drivers has a shot at a title, then it's the other driver's responsibility to do everything he can to make that title happen. That's the way it's always been in F1. Massa knew that coming in. If the tables were turned and it was Massa that had a shot at the title with a win, then Kimi and Ferrari would have done the same thing.
Alonso did not get screwed by Hamilton, he was BEATEN by Hamilton and he couldn't accept that. Alonso screwed himself.

Ha, a McLaren fan I presume. All you guys say is that Massa should've won... blah blah blah. That is why there are 2 drivers in every racing team. "teamwork". That has been the only advantage Raikkonen had entering Brazil. 7 points behind, he can only hope of winning the race and see Hamilton and Alonso falter, which did happen. Massa on the other hand wanted to win but said that if Kimi needed him, he will be glad to give up the race for his championship. That is what teammates are for, which Alonso and Lewis did not have.

according to the race summary yesterday, Kimi passed Massa when Massa took more fuel than needed in the pit. :-) Kimi drove faster to beat Massa out of the pit to overtake 1st. There were no fouls for that. Call it strategy, call it team work, but in the end it is called winning.
Where was the help for Hamilton from Alonso? Through the entire F1 year, Alonso didn't really return help to Hamilton either. Hamilton had the championship points lead longer than Alonso, so where was his help to maintain that lead? Nowhere...
Stop crying about helping teammates. Both Hamilton and Alonso were racing for the championship.
Congrats to Kimi for the title.

No kimi is not a cheater. Massa letting Kimi through is not just team tactics thats common sense. Massa is Kimi's teamate. Take any other sport for example, is the player playing only for himself or his team as well? The answer is yes and formula 1 is no exception. Massa let Kimi through becasue he wanted his team to win the drivers title. Alonso has had Hamilton throughout this year. If Hamlton wanted he could have helped him, but since they were so close, he didnt.

Don't blame Kimi. Massa can help block the Mclaren. But in the race, it seems that Massa did not want to let Kimi win, but Kimi managed to get in front some how, not in a cheating manner.

Yes, that's what i've heard on tv. But do remember, Massa won in Sao Paolo last season and i think he would love to win it again for his hometown on Sunday. He wouldn't in a million years sacrifice the chance of doing so. While Alonso has not been performing as good as he did last season and you can't blame it on Hamilton, the McLaren team or whatsoever. But we'll see how it goes next season. It's gonna be awesomeeee! :)

Ferrari always plays that way. Other teams get punished for that behavior. McLaren had a FIA officer checking that no driver gets preferential treatment.
Massa blocked Hamilton twice (immediately after start and right before the first curve), totally legal because he was "defending" his position. But that alone put Hamilton two places back on the line.
Anyway, Kimi deserved the championship as much as Hamilton though Hamilton has been more consistent all throughout the season.

Actually if anyone screwed anyone it was Alonso screwing McLaren with all of his emails implicating them in the spy scandal.
The FIA "sporting regulations" are absurd. F1 is and has always been a team sport. To try to change that is ridiculous. I like Felipe and feel sorry for him not being able to win his home GP, but he's a team player and a great driver. He knew going into the race that if he found himself in the position to help the team that would be his role in the race, it's just too bad for him that it had to be decided at Brazil.
Alonso got spoiled by being number one at Renault and getting whatever he wanted. Do you want to talk about all the times that Renault screwed Trulli and Fisichella while Alonso was their golden boy?
I say congratulation to both Kimi and Ferrari. Let this train wreck of a season go into the history books and try to start fresh next year.

yikes, don't blame Kimi for cheating when he never cheated! I started liking Alonso this year, but even he has admitted that Kimi deserves the title because he won two more races than himself (Alonso) and Hamilton.
I think it was his team that cost him the title. Alain Prost seems to think that Alonso would have been champ a month ago if he was given No. 1 status. Don't blame Raikkonen for Alonso not winning. Alonso doesn't blame him, why should we?

Kimi won fair and square. He's never been a cheater! Of course it's sad for Alonso, but that's not a good reason for him to win it. Kimi deserves it.
