Fernando Alonso, campeon mundial mas joven
Excelente carrera en Brasil hoy! Fernando Alonso es el campeon mas joven de Formula Uno en toda su historia. Pasa la antorcha del Aleman al Espanol. El Rey esta muerto, que Vive el Rey!

As much as I love Renault as a team and love both their drivers, I wouldn't be so quick as to write off Michael. Next year with the V8 and rules changes...it will be all up for grabs again!
However, that said...yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now come on Renault...give this girl the Constructors Championship too...ok????!!!!!!!!

Congrat Alonso 
Good speed and great reliability throughout the season :smile:
Now I want to see him go all out for the manufacturer's championship. I am probably wrong, but it seemed like he drove just enough to win the driver's championship.
I want to see Kimi vs Montoya vs Alonso I want to see all out war 
Montoya vs Kimi is going to be great next year assuming no reliability issues or tennis injuries
As for Schuey, maybe next year :impatient

Hey all,
F1 World Championship for Manufacturers is still in play. This week-end is the Japanese GP. Kimi already has an engine change, so it'll be his position +10 after qualifying tomorrow.

I agree Mike. They just went a bit too agreesive with the car and have paid the price. These last two races should be awesome!
I just ordered my Alonso 2005 Champ hat and should have it by Christmas!

He'll make a great champion.

I second that
It would be even better if the race is wet too
Can't wait to see Renault and McLaren fight it out from the back of the grid
I do want Button to finally win for Honda in Japan no less God forbid, maybe Sato can pull off a victory before being booted out

Could Christian Klien possibly win? Red Bull - Cosworth, YEAH!!!
Quote from JPM following qualifying:"There is nothing to say really – the weather decided it all today. It is a nightmare as both Kimi and myself suffered despite finishing one-two in the last race, and it's important that we are at the front to fight for the Constructors' Championship. The team told me not to finish my qualifying lap as there would be more benefits from a strategic point of view by saving fuel. At least Alonso is at the back as well, but the situation from a Constructors' Championship point of view is far from ideal. However I'm sure we can finish in the points tomorrow, which is what we must aim for and I have started from 20th before and finished second."

While I feel the great race was a little artificial with the weather during quali, this was probably the best race of the year
All of the top guys racing and passing (all passing Schuey
)
Kimi is a god in that McLaren
If we had regular quali like a decade ago, I think Kimi or Montoya would have almost all of the poles and won the constructors for sure.
We would be talking about McLaren dominance like Ferrari
