Alonso really did a good job yesterday,fantastic!
Massa have made great efforts,however,bad luck surrounds him times by times,good luck to him next time,he deserves it.

What a pathetic move ... of Hamilton’s ... to pass Alonso’s, to only ... finish ... 12th - Paul, Toronto

Given possible attrition, anything could have happened, including points. Alastair Johnson, Alicante,

In the way he treated his tires until the end, the most likely retirement was his...

If you'd only learn a little more about the sport you'd realise that he was giving himself another lap. Given possible attrition, anything could have happened, including points.

I feel for Bourdais -he's a level headed F1 driver with a sensible approach to his sport. When will the FIA realise its time to use a team of full-time professional race stewards that work at each race? Let's see who's for the late penalties at China.... or will the results remain unchanged...?

Alison, Treuddyn, Flintshire

More typical bias from the stewards. Bourdais penalised for Massa's error, Hamilton penalised for a racing incident... Massa handed a drive through instead of a stop and go, Kimi overtakes Webber via the pit lane exit (outside the circuit boundary) without penalty. What a farce.

Jonathan Burridge, London, UK

If he would have just a few miligrams of brain, Hamilton would be a great pilot. But then, the alternative being Massa, ... who knows, he might even win!

To me, the most clear conclusion is that Alonso is the only one that can change a team and lead it to victory

Dieter, Munich, Germany

Fantastic job, Lewis, fantastic job.

Tato Dulanci, Vitoria, Spain

Hamilton’s penalty for the first corner error in the Japanese GP is odd. From time immemorial we have had all sorts of mistakes and shunts at the first corner without penalty. This decision today seems to be leading to rolling starts like they have in the States.

Bob Gardiner, Kirkbymoorside, UK

I also feel sorry for Bourdais. He must wonder what he did wrong. Maybe the stewards could install traffic lights at the pit exit so the red cars always get a green light.

Tony, Toulouse, France

Terrific win by Alonso and Renault, well deserved! Interesting to see that two of the title contenders, two brilliant drivers, both suffer from dodgy nerves. I hope Hamilton will be able to manage his better than Massa, but if Kubica soarses past them, then he's a worthy champion!

Adam von Mentzer, Stockholm, Sweden

What on earth was Bourdais supposed to have done?

Some more accountability and transparency is needed.

Ben, York,

One can't help thinking that the marshalls are slightly biased towards Ferari. Hamilton's first corner overshoot rewarded with a penalty. Sebastian Bourdais getting a penalty for sticking to the inside, where he already was, in favour of Massa. Seems marshalls decide who'll become world champion :(

Herman, Cambridge, Cambs

What a pathetic move that of Hamilton’s burning the tires in the last lap (as he did in the first one), to pass Alonso’s, to only cross the finish line 12th. A Ron Dennis suggestion, tor ruin Fernado's race, maybe?

Paul, Toronto,

It seems we repeat the last season. The third pilot will win the championship. The last year kimi, this year kubica.

Carlos, Madrid, Spain

Alonso is the best driver, if he had been in McLaren this year, he would be world champion in 2008. Ron and Hamiton go home!.

robert, London, UK

Totally disappointed with my boys rush of blood, its still his to lose though so come on son keep it together we have faith in you and your ability. Remember the race is not for the swift but for those who can endure it. Come on Hamilton come on England, will our boy to win this championship.

Dane, Valencia, Spain

Seems to me that stewards have decided who will be world champio,n and it wont be Lewis,Massa crashes twice yet the other drivers are penalised.

john harris, Qawra, malta

I'm a Hamilton fan. All the other stewards decisions I can see where they've come from, even today's at a push. But what really annoys me is the Bourdais penalty. How was he to blame for that!? The Stewards are ruining the sport. If anything, Massa should have been penalised.

Chris, Worthing,

He doesnt deserve to win, sporting that dodgy haircut.

ronnie, bucks, UK

Am I the only one struggling to work out what Bourdais did wrong?

Massa just drove into him - looks like another steward classic!

Neil, Bristol, UK

good grief ... don't say we have another Tim Henman on our hands. Nerves can't stand it.

sue beer, fleet, england

Spaniards, maybe this article should be more about Alonso, but he is not in the Championship...this year. I am sure he will be soon again. Great driver.

Massa going to win, do you guys really think sooo.... Getting taken out is not a choke. As for T1, well, when he wins he ll be the youngest ever

Talese, London,

There is something deeply wrong with Hamilton, If he learned nothing from last year then there is nothing to be learned and this rush of blood is in hes DNA....And this will work against him and McLaren for the rest of hes career

WILLIAM, NORTHAMPTON, ENGLAND

Alonso caused Hamilton to lose the championship last year because of his "Prima Donna" attitude. It's still Hamilton's to lose. Go Lewis.

Ian M Jones, Reading, UK

Of course Massa can sense victory because he knows the FIA are handing it to him on a plate.
And it was Alonso with the attitude last year because he couldn't bare being beaten by a rookie.

Lucy, York,

don't be too harsh to this boy(Lewis). He's a tyro but has already got a champion's 'coat'. What's lacking to him right now is a good strategy from his team-mates to win this championship race.

james law, coro-mtius,

Just a question... Who will beat Alonso if he finally joins Ferrari?

R.Dennis, Woking, England

For me this year, Ron Dennis, manager of the century!!!!
Because, again, a pilot which fails in that fashion means that the pressure will squash him. So, unbelievably enough, Massa could win the championship!!!!
Btw, with another pilot Renault would not be such a good car

Víctor , Clermont-Ferrand, France

It's incredible. Can't belibe one of these guys will be next F1 world champion, while the main questions should be who's worst under pressure Massa or Hamilton.

Ernest, London,

Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton... I do not see enough about a Renault (who would have said it) wining this race! Alnso and Engeniers have done a great job, a great job same engeniers failed to achieve without the Spaniard last season... GIve him a Ferrari and you will not mention the "H" Name again!

Ivan C., Madrid, Spain

Great start from Hamilton, impacting negatively on the Ferrari race. One more time (remember Canada).

Are you still convinced he deserves by divine right to win the title?
What about Kubica instead?

Stefano, London, UK

deffinitely fast and furious (only he has a better car, that's all), ready to find a concrete wall ahead and with no intention to brake since he's been blinded and inmaturely grown. Just blame Dennis for such attitude and manners on a disgraceful guidance. Button would do it better with such car ...

Frank, Poole, UK

he's starting to choke...Felipe can almost sense victory

Armand Tamzarian, London,

So Hamilton says he's going to win the last 2 races ? In his current form he'll be lucky to score a point.

Marc , Liverpool, UK

hamilton caused alonso to lose the championship last year, by his attitude and possibly denis s as well.
perhaps he would have learnt more also if he had been given better guidance, which would have given him greater maturity this year.
