These were the famous lines from an ad by NIKE.....during the 96 atlanta olympics!! The grand finale of the formula 1 season in brazil..quite aptly proved it. Raikkonnen by all means deserved to be the world champion. Hamilton came at a very deserving second(Championship) but i would have not minded if he would have won the championship.
What a dramatic end to an equally dramatic season!! Everything was going wrong for hamilton and mclaren..a faulty gearbox..a goof-up at the beginning of the race..and a horribly wrong 3-stop strategy!! And now Mclaren is crying foul by complaining against sauber and williams for irregular fuel strategy..so much for sportsmanship!!
At the end raikkonnen proved to everyone why is he called the "ice man". He kept his cool throughout the race..and held his nerve right upto the chequered flag! It was superb team work, out of the world strategy...and a bit of lady luck that favoured FERRARI!! I wish Hamilton all the luck for his next season..and many more to come.. What class he has shown in this season...a sensaional debut...being at the right place at the right time..and almost winning the world championship..this driver has miles to go!!
It will be quite exciting to see the two drivers fight for supremacy in the coming seasons..while alonso's future being quite questionable..but one thing is for sure ..the next few years in formula 1 will be a thriller!!
All said and done..at the end it is that one point that matters...that one point that gave raikkonnen the championshup, that one point that snatched the championship from alonso, and it is that one single point that constantly makes hamilton think..."You dont win silver..you lose gold!!"
