Do you think that Glock `gifted` fifth place to Hamilton on the last lap

good if he did

No!


Edit: The world is full of mean minded people especially it would appears those of hispanic origins.

Why do some people not give credit where credit is due. Lewis Hamilton showed tenancity and guts leave the man alone and say 'Well done Lewis and here is to the next time !

TBH It did seem a bit coincidental that Glock messed up.

Yep. That whole, so called 'sport' is corrupt.

He was was just lucky that Glock was on slicks when the rain started to pour down and it must have been like driving on ice.

Better still do you think that Kimi pulled over ( very blatantly) a couple of races ago to let his team mate pass, mmmm and Glock aint even a team mate of Hamilton so you tell me clever clogs just why would he do that ?????

l was reckoning it..but later learned that he was on dry weather ...so surely he didnt gift that place to hammy..

l did wonder that myself, but he was still on dry tyres & struggling badly throughout the final lap. When l watched the replay of the finish, he had barely made the pit lane entrance as Hamilton was crossing the line. The other thing that makes me doubt it is his total lack of motivation to do so. He had nothing to gain or lose by dropping back to allow Hamilton into 5th place.

l think that Toyota took a gamble that he'd lose more time changing to wet tyres than keeping him out there on dry tyres, especially as it was not raining all that hard at the time. He was a long way up the field so they gambled on him not being passed too many times & getting a good finishing position as a result. Unfortunately it would seem that the track conditions on the last lap were worse than anticipated.

**EDIT**

l am not sure why people think Glock only messed up on the last couple of corners. He didn't. His entire last lap was shot to bits. l can only assume that some folk did not see the race or failed to understand what was happening.

Glock was a country mile ahead of Hamilton who was doing all he could to get back at Vettel, but he was already way off the pace & falling back into their clutches anyway. All Vettel & Hamilton had to do was go fast enough to make sure they caught him before he reached the chequered flag. Any attempt by Glock to defend his position was going to be completely futile because he just had no grip at all. The last two corners r all about getting the power down to slingshot up the hill & that was the one thing he just could not do. If he'd gone anywhere near the throttle pedal the car would have just swapped ends & he would not even have finished. The only choice he had was to decide whether to stay on the racing line & allow them to pass him on his left or move off it so they could pass him on his right.

yep. l knew he was on dry tires and l still think that he gave it away. McLaren mmust have payed them to give them fifth place. how far can McLaren go before they get banned from the sport however. What is so special about Hamilton anyway. Look at Vettel and he did not go straight into a McLaren did he. Someone crash into hamilton. See his reaction. And show the reality of Formula 1. Alonso should make him crash. That would be funny

Probably yesterday Glock was sleeping with All pussycat Dolls as the bribe .. included nicole .

Of course! Anyone with any F-1 common sense knows that u just do not slow down like that! He was doing fine until the last curve? hahah what a joke! This without a doubt proves that F-1 is a ridiculous game of who can out cheat the others.McLaren should be investigated again for this.Once a cheater, always a.

Even with the engine blow out with 3 laps left in Hungary, the Pit mess up by the Ferrari crew in Singapore, Massa was in contention & to me he proved he is the superior driver by dominating the Qualifying, turning in the fastest laps over & over again & dominating the final race from start to finish. What did Hamilton do the entire race? He almost spun 3 or 4 times, could not even get past Vettel & had to count on Timo Glock letting him by to secure 5th place! haha l am sorry, but he is not as good as people say he is.

It is about money & status. The Brits were dying to have another as world champion. Hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing & product sales, etc depended on him being champion. There was no way the British mafia behind McLaren would have allowed LH to leave Brazil without the championship.they were determined to do whatever it took to win, including cheating.

Ah just another day in F-1.

l do not think so. Who Hamilton think he is? What is Glock point by given the 5th place to Hamilton? Glock was just messed up. If Only rain never fall down..

Nope, glock gamble on staying on groove tires, and it didnt pay off. It became too wet

But he was still pathetic. He did not even attempt to defend. He moved aside faster than a lapped car

He did not did it on purpose, there is no reason for that. But he could have at least try defending it. Not a good driver IMO.

Yes

No. Toyota gambled and kept the dry tyres on when it started to rain when all the other teams changed theirs, and unfortunately the gamble did not pay off and both the cars were barely able to stay on the track in the last lap.

LMAO AT PPL WHO SAYS ''NO'' IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS THAT GLOCK GIFTED THE FIFTH PLACE TO HAMILTON

PPL THESE DAYZ

OH MY GOD! Listen to the crap being dished out by the conspiracy theorists. Hamilton won the world championship. That is the end of story. Glock was on dry tyres. F1 does not revolve around Ferrari. There r other teams out there. This year McLaren won the drivers championship even though Ferrari had by far the superior car. Massa or Kimi should of had the title wrapped up 3 or 4 races ago. But neither of them r good drivers so the cars were wasted on them. If Hamilton is crap what does that make kovalienon? If Massa was any good he would not of lived in the shadow of Schumacher. Hamilton was expected to be number 2 at Mclaren but was having none of it comfortably out performing Alonso on numerous occasions. Admittandly Pound for pound Alsonso is probably the best driver around. But to say Glock gave the race to Hamilton is a big pile of Bullshit. Also remember the world championship started 16 races ago not in Brazil.

Of course not and if you think so, you're an idiot. Glock had the same final lap time as his teammate. And why would Glock want to give up a position for McLaren? Everything in this world just has to be a conspiracy, does not it?!

Sigh, YES it was lucky for Hamilton BUT if Glock had pitted for wet tyres like everyone else, he would of been being Hamilton anyway

Toyota made a choice to remain on dry tires in hopes of moving up the finishing order. Had they pitted when Vettel & Hamilton did, they would have come out behind them, though been capable of a greater pace. but they were not close to this battle before & it is unlikely they would have somehow gained 10+ seconds since Hamilton did not stall while in the pits getting the intermediate tires.

With Glock staying out, he was now ahead of Hamilton, which then made the Hamilton/Vettel battle important. if u recall prior to the rain, it was not an issue & had Vettel moved up quicker, Hamilton probably would've just let him pass for 4th place.

By the last lap the track was quite wet & Glock would be spending more time simply trying to keep the car on the road rather than being able to keep pace or protect his line (and with the difference in pace, there really was nothing he could do to protect his line against Hamilton & Vettel).

Given how much the extra points would've meant to both Glock & Toyota, it is silly to even think he'd of slowed down more than he needed to in order to give Hamilton a chance. If he had pitted & had intermediates, yes, he'd of had more pace & been able to defend his line. but he would've already been behind Hamilton!

The fact is this was a great race, & all of the key players mentioned in this did everything right:

Massa - he drove a great race & did everything possible to put himself in a position to claim a title. Kimi did his part too with a good pace & kept ahead of the Mclarens (and possibly even slowing down some in the middle of the race in an attempt to goad Hamilton into racing him).

Hamilton - kept his head about him & kept sight of the big picture! He dominated his last win to set this up, & followed up with doing exactly what he needed to secure a title!

Glock - while his pace was much slower at the end, he did manage to effectively gain a few seconds in terms of overall track position by remaining on dry tires, & came very close to netting extra points as a result (and making it a very different championship). If the rain came half a lap later, this stategy would've worked perfectly. & a half lap earlier it would've lost him huge chunks of time. A good gamble that almost paid off.

l was desperately rooting for Massa but even l do not believe all this conspiracy crap. The fact was, Glock kept his dry tyres on to try & leapfrog all the drivers in the pits & hoping the rain would wear off, it did not it got worse & he was on dry tyres on an anything but dry track, its not a surprise he had to slow down to a crawling pace just to keep it on the track. Believe me l was SO annoyed at Glock, l was rotting for him the entire race to overtake Hamilton & then that happens! but ah well, it was not intentional.

Nope, Glock stayed out on slick tires (taking a chance that the rain would not last) when Hamilton changed his tyres to intermediates. It was a mistake by Glock which meant he had virtually no control over his car. Hamilton on the other hand had tyres that were suited to the weather conditions which allowed him to absolutely blow Glock out of the water on the second to last corner. That is how he won the championship!

No, Glocks lap was faster on the final lap than the other guy on dry (Trulli) (who was 9th). Surely if he slowed down to let Hamilton win he wouldve had the slowest last lap out of everyone.

Why would he? what would be the reason? did he want to let Vettel pass also? he was on dry tyres and struggled for the whole of the last lap, the gamble did not pay off, if the rain had eased, it would have done.

Nope.

So it was okay to let Vettel go past but NOT OKAY to let Lewis go past as well ? Are you forgetting that both drivers gained places because of Glock ?

no he did not !!!

glock = dry tyres when it was wet

lewis = wet tyres

can you see now ???

NO
