All I remember is the image that's been replayed over and over on the news! I can just see a slow Toyota 'appear' in the final corner, and remember screaming at the TV 'IS THAT GLOCK?!'

It went, "Glock isn't slow enough" after looking at the triming
"There is a Toyota!" "Is it Glock?" "Glock was really slow in sector 2" "It is" "Go on" "That's it?!" "Look 5 HAM" It happened so quick, but that was pretty much what was said between us all at the time. Perhaps with a bit more swearing! |

I realised it at the point when I leapt to my feet shrieking "GLOCK!!!" at the TV, but I had to wait for him to cross the line before I started bouncing off the walls, just in case...

Well, I was standing in the corner screaming no, no, no at the television, and then David Hobbs said that Glock was slowing and I just couldn't believe it. I literally fell to my knees and shook my arms up at the ceiling in joy. It was definitely the most emotional I've been about a sporting event.

I turned the tv off when Vettel passed Hamilton and didn't watch the end of the race. This is news to me, I thought Massa was champion!

well unlucky, your lack of faith meant you missed the most amazing climax to a wdc that i've ever seen.
Me and my friends watching it started partying as soon as we'd identified that it was glock he'd passed, then went into overdrive after he crossed the line. Still cant really believe it. |

Look up sarcasm in the dictionary dear. I went straight to the pub after the programme finished and we raised our glasses to the yougest ever world champion.
