Topsy-turvy last few laps with a smattering of rain see Glock fall back and Hamilton take the title.

The FIA have thrown out Hamilton and Mclaren's appeal against the 25 second penalty which lost him the best race of the season and probably the last few years.

Article 152 of the International Sporting Code states that drive-through penalties are “not susceptible to appeal”.

Formula 1 will finally get a new video game title in 2009, three years since the last official F1 game made by Sony. Formula One Management were reported to be demanding up to $200m for the rights.

First, the good news: the game won’t be exclusive to a single machine, and is expected to be available for ‘major home consoles’ (presumably PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii), PC and other formats. This is very important and I’m sure Codemasters’ expertise in producing cross-format titles helped them win the contract over the likes of Sony. #

I wasn't overly impress with the last revision of Colin McRae's DIRT (some annoyingly over-excited yank commentating 'dood!') and the demo of Race Driver GRID, whilst admittedly only available yesterday, has a shockingly wooly, inaccurate and easy driving engine (compared to Forza 2 anyway) - though the commentator is less excitable, so I'm hoping the F1 game will improve upon this.

Wow! What a race! From the choreographed Ferrari opener into the first corner right to the post race twist. With Hamilton's attempted heroic fight through to the front end of the race in-between.

If there's one thing this race is going to be remembered for, I don't think it's Raikkonen's victory but Hamilton's car problems then subsequent battle through the traffic to try and get some points.

Massa having "difficulties" and slowing to let Raikkonen through? Who cares?

Alonso's luke-warm slower than the Ferrari's 3rd place? You what now?

No, Hamilton's gear problems loosing him 30 seconds down to 18th, then seemingly genius but later unfortunate pit strategy which oh-so-nearly could have got him some more points if he hadn't have had to stop a 3rd time. Then cruising up to the Ferraris, which he was a lap behind, while they were doing 1:14.5 (ish) and then pushing them down to 1:12.5 in the final 10 or so laps.

Then to cap it all, the BMW Saubers and Williams are then found to have fuel irregularities for which McLaren have appealed the decision not to take it any further by the stewards. 2007 Championship decided in the F1 courts? It's almost to perfect a way to decide a season which seems to have spent to long in FIA hearings.

Roll on next season and come on Hamilton!

Indianapolis Formula One race was a farce!
