This result now means that all teams competing have scored at least one point in the championship, something that hasn’t happened in all the time I have been a fan of the sport – {Ollie White, original entry}

All teams scored at least two points in 2002. There were 11 teams, the bottom three of whom (Minardi, Toyota and Arrows) all scored two points apiece. Everyone else scored at least seven.

[...] the car was not functioning very well. Raikkonen does his talking on the track rather then outside. Raikkonen chances are slightly better with the China GP win. Well, I am a Tifosi as well. You have my vote Raikkonen for the championship. It is about time [...]

I am glad that the WDC is going down to the last race – Hamilton still has such a cushion that he is still favourite in my books though.

Had the gap only been 2 points, and all that Alonso had to do was win the race then he would have been the favourite – but he needs to win and Hamilton finish 3rd or lower so that makes it a bit tougher.

I couldn’t believe it when Hamilton went into the gravel, and I felt a bit sorry for him – though it’s good for us viewers!

I think if Hamilton can learn anything from Alonso, it’s to drive for what you need – ie, he didn’t have to race Kimi for the win, he could’ve let him past and settled for 2nd place without putting so much strain on his tyres.

Weird how F1 can turn so violently in such a quick fashion…

Before this race, the Hamilton bandwagon was unstoppable…now…mmm…no one knows…

What is true, though, is that the WDC will be taken to the last race in a very exciting way…

Let’s just hope McLaren can give Alonso some equality (as far as treatment and equipment) so we can see a beautiful final match…
