Check out the Brazil video on Formula1.com, it’s awesome. And the part where the Ferrari mechanic, after telling Massa’s dad that Felipe hasn’t won the world championship, smashes the huge sign in the garage is classic. You can’t beat a bit of Italian passion. Looky here.

That’s one upset mechanic! Great video as always.
I knew Ferrari were terrible losers. McLaren would have just hung their heads and took it with good grace.
That said, I have a huge amount of respect for Massa. he was quiet but also very friendly – he’s a very likeable driver and he seems to share a sense of warmth with Hamilton. He’d have made a better champ than his teammate thats for sure.
Btw Ferrari won the 2008 WCC so they are champions, Lewis is champion.
not not about being a sore loser its about passion and thats what ferrari have. thats what their cars are built on and always will be.
i feel really bad for massa he had such a great season and if if wasnt for his engine failure in hungary 3 laps from the end it would have been his. just proves how much luck comes in to play.
congratulations to hamilton on his maiden championship it could not have been done in more of a nail biter that is for sure.
Admittedly i was rooting for Massa to take hte championship on his home ground that would have been amazing. Still however it was a great end to what has been a very dramatic season and close.
I love the passions of the average Italian, and I can sympathise with the guys in the team, It’s their ass-hat polotical machinations I hate.
Ash, I disagree with you. Ferrari is just as bad a loser as anyone racing. Put yourself in their position. That mechanic that punched the glass had to deliver the news that Lewis had passed Timo to Older Massa. That is beyond a heartbreak. All of a sudden, they went from win to loss. Nothing could ever suck that much. In my opinion, they lost very well. The crowd, on the other hand, did not take it so well as seen by the Toyota team having to dress in Renault uniforms to escape the throngs. Ferrari took this with an amazing amount of class. For that, I respect them (even though if you look thru the rest of my posts on this site, you will find that I have been rooting for Lewis and McLaren the entire season.). You have to give Ferrari it’s due here. They raced an excellent season and a decision regarding a 3400 mile season had in the last 1/2 mile of the season makes it an epic season.
Otherwise, formula1.com has done a ridiculously good job this season with coverage and the videos. I’m really happy about the quality of this video. I really hope the BBC can put up that quality of video on their website. Also, give us F1 in HD in the United States!!!! I would give my left testicle for that. Combined with a return of the US GP in possibly New York, my life would be complete. All I’d have to do would be ask my girlfriend to marry me and I could die happy.
LOL what an idiot
i think we knoq who the bad loser is,
mr mechanic.
Great Job Hamilton
Bad loser?
Being a bad loser is blaming someone else for your own faults, which is something the brits are very keen on doing all the time.
The italian was upset, and thats how they express their frustrations ^^
Those f1.com videos are always great, i watch them all the time when i´m bored.
Oops…I meant “political”.
Bad loser? Bad loser is spending hours finding conspirancies to justify bad performance.
This is plain passion. I’m sorry for you guys that just don’t get it. You miss a very important part of life.
lol that is wierd tho the way he punches it he is like im goin to hit something arrh the sign massa dads like wtf u doin !!!!!!!!!! i did fell well sorry for massa tho bieng tol dhe won the not do go lewisssss hes girlfriend is fit:)
bring on the BBC, no adverts at last!!
@puma – well said
Well put to those of you who see this as passion. No one other than cyborgs or full out robots would simply shrug and whisper “fiddly-dee, maybe next season.” when you want something so badly, only to have it slip in such a close fashion.
It just so happens the cameras were there. If you think for a moment everyone is dignified in the back room after losing, you’re delusional.
Good video by the way. Great season ending race too.
passsssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssiiiiiiii iiiiiiooooooooooooooooooo oooonnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Ferrari not getting used to losing I suppose.
Any how , the mechanic has every right to be frustrated. It was so near and yet so far for Massa.
PLEASE DELIVER BBC, we want HD, no adds is a blessing at last, who knows one day F1 might yet get as exciting as moto gp.
Best man won the championship.
..and here’s to hoping BBC allow us to use the iplayer to watch F1 like when the Olympics were on so we can choose our own cameras to watch
lol that was one good punch bet u he goes judo or karate or something like that
lol “passion,” come on. that mechanic was just being a little baby.
“OOOOOh, I’m just sooo mad! I’m going to hit something! Grrrr! Take that, piece of glass! I’m going to buy a punching bag, then put a picture of Hamilton on it, and just…just…punch it all day! Because I have passion!”
omg, you Ferrari people are just too much.
Brilliant video. Can I buck the trend here and say well done to ITV for their coverage of the race? For once James Allen actually conveyed passion in his commentary. We’ve all criticised him over the years but I’m glad his last race was this one. Brundle as ever was superb. Thanks chaps.
I’ll criticize James Allen a little more thanks, passion or not, the man doesn’t know jack s**t about F1, he was saying Glock’s times weren’t dropping in the wet even though he was losing like 5 seconds EVERY LAP. he doesn’t understand that being in 11th place isn’t “disastrous” when every other driver in front still has to make their pit stop and you’ll be in 4th again in 2 laps.
it’s bloody ITV, he’s the formula 1 equivalent of David Pleat on the damn football. I could do their sodding job better than them.
to put it simply
WAY MASSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
:):):):):):):):):D:D:D:D: D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
cant wait till next year though just for BBC coverage and the theme tune…. Dum, dum dum dum dum dum dum duhhhhhh. and cue the solo!
Ed. No you couldn’t. Murray Walker never made any mistakes did he?
You cant judge Ferrari’s reaction as it was so tence I would have done just the same thing. I went totally mental myself(with joy) when lewis overtook Glock. Total justice for Mclaren and Lewis after some crazy decisions trying to alter the title. Well done Mclarren, and well done to Massa for being such a gent. Full respect
Cmon now have some praise for Massa at least. Technically Ferrari didn’t lose only Massa did. Ferrari are actually world champions in constructors so I do not know where this we lost thing came from. The dude was expressing his frustration because to have someone else decide who the title of world champion should go to is wrong, is sort of what he was probably thinking. Anyways I don’t know if the best man won or if it was just sheer dumb luck but whatever Lewis is champion Congrats to him. Massa would have been just as deserving if not a lot more. He showed he was the best man in terms of morals at the end of the day.
oh my God! That Ferrari mechanic is amazing… Now that’s world class entertainment!
Just wanna say that both Lewis and Felipe deserve to win the championship. Great job for both of them to make F1 interesting!
I think anyone suggesting ferrari has shown anything less than quite exemplary sportsmanship in this hardest of situations is kidding themselves. I read ‘Marcus’ comment before. I’m betting you let out a cheer when Lewis won, and i’m betting you let out a cry of anguish when vettel made the pass on him. I think everyone who truly loves formula 1 would have been moved to acts of passion by that race. Passion is what makes formula one special and both teams showed so much. It was a fantastic year and despite wanting Massa to win i could never have been unhappy with the result. What a sport!
Lewis got what he deserverd A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Well done Lewis
you gave everything you could and you won just to find out it was not enough. if you are not angry/upset/sad in such moment you are truly in a wrong place.
btw, Ferrari got another title for constructors. 8th in 10 years. I bet the reason of that is their passion. you may like them or no, but you can not say it’s just a business for them.
respect for that.
hahahaa massa’s fathers face when he gets told he hasnt won
lol
hahahahahah
silly mechanic
That was a great vid.
And of course there was passion. What else would give you reason to dress up in a very hot fireproof suit and sit in a garage for 2-3 hours, other than maybe money?
I just hope more races are as edge-of-the-seat as that next year.
Oh, btw, does anyone (@ TG, BBC or on the net) know who’s commentating next year?
The way that the entire Ferrari team was celebrating and then it all came crashing down (including the sign) is epic. That was the most exciting race ever!
lewis’ girlfriend’s not fit, shes a man
i love the summer song off of Formula 1 on PS1/X (with Damon Hill, Jean Alesi, Taki Inoue etc.) Use that in the F1 video or the BBC intro.
@ Mikeado:
Jonathen Legard, poss. with martin brundle.
Anchor is Jake Humphrey, w/ David Coulthard.
Should be awesome
Also, codemasters have the rights + are making an F1 game next year, unlike sony who had the rights for the last 3 seasons, and made 1 game. I can’t wait to pass alonso and give him the finger
Wow, that headbutt was epic.
that was a quality video, well put together. you never see that kind of coverage on the regular television shows. if the BBC give the pitlane reporters hand held cameras to capture events during the race it will be fantastic, i realise it would be difficult to put into practice but would be really interesting. id love to see a helmet-cam on other drivers, if not all of them!
its about time the drivers n teams showed some passion, formula 1 is all the better for passionate latin tempraments. ferrari seemed to clinical in the schumacher era, felipe massa is a brilliant driver.
But he aint as good as lewis hamilton!!
After the race Charlie Whiting said that they told Hamilton that he should let Vettel pas, because hij would go past Glock anyway. Hamilton said the team told him that he should get past Vettel again for 5th. Very stand up guys at McLaren. Not honest enough to admit they almost blew it (the best driver of all time struggling for 5th? How did that happen?), and not intelligent enough to get their stories straight.
hello?
I thought the french were the best at headbutting, but the Scuderia is proving me wrong
exactly from a frustration knewing some one actually decided the champion for 2009 WDC,shame !
Hi bloggers!!
I’m italian,i don’t like Ferrari Management and policy so i’m very happy i have lost the title and is true, Ferrari are terrible losers…Lewis rigth now is the best…..
Gooo Lewis “the Stig” Hamilton…
Hey! Haven’t we all just put.. a million quid in the swear box?
Puma says it well though, a bad loser does not accept his loss, this is just plain anger and frustration at wat happened.
Glad for Ron Dennis, best wishes to Mercedes and McLaren team, but I just can’t stand Hamilton laughing after that mediocre race. Vettel rules!
HAHAHAHAHA theres always one!
jenson button to win said…
lewis’ girlfriend’s not fit, shes a man
If Lewis’ girlfriend is a man, then me and most of the male population are gay.
Marco on comment No3 thats why nobody can stay in McLaren for long unless they are cold blooded fins or something.
Red Bull and Ferrari are the best when it comes to spirit and passion. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Btw, how is copying the F2009 going? Is the new McLaren going to be fast enough for Lewis? Lets ask the photocopy guys.
Watch the video of the Hungarian GP Lewis fans to see how a real F1 driver brakes for the first turn.
the best race in the world ever well done lewis. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ferrari. Bring lewis back to beat the stig on the track.
Get Massa in a McLaren for 2010, and wipe the floor with f.
Felipe…. Bassa, I hope maranello burns in hell, along with enzo and all their feeble-minded sycophantic followers.
Well… We all know Mclaren Cocked up by telling Hamilton to be cautious That was down to the Grace of God saving Hamiltons ass! And his Biatch is about as excited for Hamilton winning as she is the money shes about to bag… Its W.A.G.S all over again..
Oh and good Ol’ Italion Passion there..
Post 27, the title was not decided by “someone else.” whether Glock pitted for wets, or stayed out and rolled the dice like he did, he would have been a non-issue either way. It just turned out that staying out on dries made the end a nail-biter.
Felipe Bassa, if you think McLaren copied anything off the Ferrari because of “Stephney-gate,” you don’t know the facts.
first of all, the info in question was regarding the F2008 in pre-season spec. and the one McLaren guy who saw that info saw it mid-season. If you know anything about F1 you’d know that the F2008 from about 2-3 races in would be almost completely different than the pre-season car. Even if McLaren had made a complete copy of the F2008 from the info in question, it would be an obsolete car. probably about 1.5 seconds slower than the mid-season F2008.
second of all, it was never proven that anyone but that one rotten apple at McLaren saw that info, so stop talking crap, do some research, and use some logic.
and all the people who think Vettel demolished Lewis, get your facts straight. The Toro Rosso was running a HIGH DOWNFORCE rear wing, and the McLaren was running a low downforce, almost Monza-spec rear wing. in those wet conditions, with rain being the great equalizer, the amount of downforce a car is running makes all the difference, and as it stood, the Toro Rosso was actually the quicker car in terms of setup (in the rain), before even taking the drivers into consideration.
LEWIS #1!!!
But they have admitted testing Ferrari’s data on their simulators.
And as for Vettel, everybody understands that in F1 its a matter of car and driver. Vettel probably had a better race setup because the Toro Rosso is inferior to the McLaren anyway.
PeteH – Now that’s passionate.
Unfortunately, what you envision will NEVER happen.
It’ll Always Be FORZA FERRARI! Deal with it.
JESUS CHRIST!!! What a spaz! Very daring last minute ditch by Hamilton won it for him. good on him!
Emotions running high thats the name of the game!
Ash, a bit of Italian emotions never hurt anybody. It infact brought the world the best food and cars. I love seeing that, people who actually care about what they do, and care enough to be emotional about it.
T’was a great video and I wish we have many more season like this!
Hi top gear
having recently come to sydney we are horrified to be forced to experience top gear australia. After being avid fans of jeremy and co we are dismayed at the amateurish programme aired here which can you believe follows exactly the format of our own and dearly loved programme in blighty. Somehow it doesnt work even the stig isnt like our stig at home.
Please please sell the real deal to the aussies so we dont have to tolerate imitations!!!!!
even though its off topic i agree that top gear Australia is boring. The main presenter did a presentation of the Audi R8 and it made it look so boring! He was just doing donuts. Does this guy know anything about cars? Jeremy would have driven it how its supposed to be driven, made funny remarks and would have told us how awesome it is. I’d rather get my pubic hair pulled than watch another video from that Aussie dude again!
I read that Montezemello trashed his TV when Hamilton won and went to his daughters room to watch.
hello as s regular viewer on sunday top gear show and i have notice the absents of top gear dog as a i have a dog (who watches topgear) i wondered were top gear dog has gone? could you reply to becca-bayebee2kay8@hotmai l.com when you have time
many thanks
p.s great show
2/11 was one of the best
Its good to see that passion showing. bad luck Massa. Well done Hamilton!!!
As F1 has got so boring over recent years. Bernie has done a good job in turning F1 into a huge money maker, but in doing so, the tracks have become far too safe and boring. Drivers can t even look badly at each other, let alone carry out a bit more competive driving, without a fine ban or losing points. I remember F1 in late 80 s early 90 s, now that was Racing!!
Come on Bernie thanks, but its time to go. We need someone who is interested in the Spectator not the Sponsers!!!
Well, Massa isn’t the champion, but Ferrari is. Hamilton deserved it just as much as Ferrari.
It seems as though everyhting surrounding f1 nowadays has been tuned down to comply with human consumption. Where are the Sennas and Prosts, Mansell the hero or the jsp 3 axle racer, the Lauda freaks ? Where has the eccentricity that made F1 gone. Schumy was the biggest charachter for years and will all do respect he is german!!!! Stick up the ass, tight mouthed, calculus chipmonk with a shaunpomme for self controll..No cigarettes adds ect where is the camel hed and the real marlboro man ? where´s the spirit ?? Yeah fair enough Hamy´s rags to riches story is/was heart touching and that lucky last lap quite nerve wrecking but that was the freak event! One, in the last 10 years !!! So more power, less regulation and a table spoon if chivalry please otherwise ya might as well plug in ypu playstation for racing excitement….,;8
the only aspect I´d put a limit on is the budget the teams have available.. here´s a tenner do what you want with it that would peobably put the race right back on track instead of the major players with unlimited funds grabbing all there is to grab,, how else could the the wright brothers compete against Boeing eh ?? and where would boeing be withouth the wrights…?
I cant watch that video with getting a lump in my throat, lewis just makes me so proud to be british hes a superb drive and a gent and to me that makes him someone to be proud of.
lewis u the man.
I keep getting pissed off whenever I think about Heikki’s performance at Brazil. He was supposed to be up there helping Lewis fight for the championship, not sitting around in the middle/back like a little bitch. Kimi did all that he could for Felipe, Heikki should have done the same.
Pah, ha ha Massa you benifited from all Lewis’ penaltys you no match for him. Lewis is a worthy world champion.
Lewis is a legend and he hasnt even started shaving yet lol
OMG haha ha ha aha, yes us italians have that rage in our blood passed down through generations and generations. That was funy to see. Sore looser? Perhaps. Hilarious to watch? Most certainly!
Congrads L.H.!!!!
Bloody Lewis Hamilton
i think he won it on luck because glock was on dry tires and he let him past. I swere i’ll KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLL HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIII IIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.i WANTN’T MASSA TO WIN, WELL HE DID ACTULY WIN BUT A FEW ENGINE FAILURES AND ERRERS COST HIM BUT HE WOULD HAVE WON IT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
@axf1 Glok was going as fast as he could you moron. Look at his lap times and look at Trulli’s. They were both in the same car on the same tyres going the same pace. Why do you say you want to kill him? Seek therapy.
well done lewi
s
What about the extra points Massa got given for nothing, other than the fact that Ferrari seem to be supposed to win and hate losing. Lewis passed Felipe and gave him back the place so quick you wondered how he managed it, which is damned good racing and extremely quick thinking and reactions and then got penalised for doing NOTHING WRONG. Where did the rule you must wait for the next turn ever come in. Invented by Bernie no doubt.
All Us english are sucking up 2 hamilton because hes britsh, people who watched f1 before hamilton came supported different nations and nationalities i personaly from a young age of about 3 supported shui and never changed my supportion even though im british and 15. I support massa because of how much porgress hes made and with the backing of micheal im deffenatly guna support him. Massa earned the right to become world champion, some of the drivers like hamilton are only as good as their cars but un like hamilton massa had to put a lot of effort and years in to advancing through the ranks of sauber to acchive the goal of ferrari. So personaly i think massa should have won the championship… Hamilton supporters have been banging on about how hamilton got un fair deductions of points… do they ever think of massa, his engine failed at hungry and got numurus over taking penilties in many races like monza and fuji when that was all hamitons fault, so massa over all lost at least 30 points when hamilton technicly only lost half of that.
i always hoped that ferrari would win if massa then i would pin hopes on raikkonen ( correct me if i spelt it wrongly ) but mclaren is also great!!!! i wanna congratulate lewis hamilton LEWIS CONGRATS!!!!!
Lewis Hamilton has shown he is one hellafa driver.What was his driving force,the car,the money,his determination or was it simply he had something to prove?
I know this will sound like sour grapes to most of you but I was so sick of the media coverage of Lewis including adverts that I wanted some-one else to win,anyone.Nauseating is how I and my wife put seeing Lewis where-ever and my wife does not watch F1.
I hope the BBC will give equal coverage to,if not all,then at least the top 6 or 7.I hope 09 will not become another nauseating year being force-fed just one F1 driver no-matter who he is.
LEWIS HAMILTON ROXZ
WOO HOO! :p
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv eeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmm mmooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooommmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
