timo was going to be the butt of sarcasm , no matter what the result. if he had kept the car on the road, ahead of vettel, lulu would have lost the wdc by one point. then, imagine the comments that would have been made, such as , helping ferrari, fix etc. he just couldnt win, could he?

F1 » Glock: Interlagos cynicism hard to understand

Toyota star Timo Glock has spoken about the tough weeks following last year's F1 title-deciding Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos - a race in which he was harshly accused of having helped Lewis Hamilton to the crown.

Glock would not give LH any help. In fact his team does not like LH. Do you remember the race in Spa (I beleive) when LH overtook Glock on the corner and Glock tried to come back as they started the straight. At that time LH pushed Glock wide and Glock though not crashing had to go on to the grass to avoid a crash. At that point they showed Toyota's garage and one of the mechanics was making a ****** gesture. So why would Glock then help LH. After that race all the drivers were on LH case about his dangerous manouvers. The people on this forum are inconsistent and unable to detach their emotions from facts. They sound like a divorcing couple where everyone is right.

So desu, i couldn't agree more. IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE!!!!
why can't people just accept the facts? Toyota took a gamble and it didn't pay off in the end, Hamilton/McLaren were ultra conservative in their tactics and it worked, they WON, and Vettel drove a great race. I really don't understand why some people find it so hard to accept the facts and MOVE ON.

In the last race (last lap)in the rain you are trying to tell me that Glock was radioed and told to let Lewis go by. Bull. Ferrari didn't even know the running order and they are the smartest team on the planet. Give Timo a break. He as the above poster mentioned oould have went into the pits for wets. If the rain would have let up, Timo would have held position. You can keep the timing sheets as I watched the race myself and do not have to be spoon fed your view.

OH PLEASE.

Why does people STILL keep saying that Glock's gamble didn't pay off? He was behind both Hamilton & Vettel - AND Heikki - before the pit stops, so if he really wanted Lewis to win he could have just gone into the pits like the rest and changed tires and he would've been nowhere near the title fight.

Instead, Toyota took a chance and it turns out they made a good decision (just like Glock himself points out in this article - did you even bother to READ it?) which enabled him to finish ahead of Heikki and score another point. WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS?

I will gladly provide that Live Timing screenshot to anyone, really. Simple logic makes it obvious what happend, basing on it. On the other side, I think that Ham deserved to win the title as much as Massa did, BUT then again on the flipside - Massa should come victorious out of Interlagos, because McLaren did strategy mistake. Im just being objective, not emotional on this one.

Even if Glock let Hamilton through, it is his right to do so. If his reason for letting him through was that he wanted his friend Lewis Hamilton to win the championship, so be it. I am one of Hamilton's (actually McLaren's) harshest critics. But, it is Glock's prerogitave to do as he likes.

The Fact of the matter is Lewis had a Car that set fast LAP At 1 point in the Race! He could have gone for a Podium. I understand that He might not want, to Play with Alonso, But Vettel Blew His Fracken doors off!!!!!! In an STR!!!Hamy do'es not deserve the 08 championship, Neither did Massa. Ferrari dropped the ball, BIG TIME SO DID McLaren 08 Championship. NO Contest No Winner No Loser. I do not think Either deservese WDCF, IMO
