Well done Lewis!!!!!You deserve it!!!
As for us I really don't now what to think and feel!!!!!
The only thing that scares me a bit is if we really have a plan and who is going to apply it with all this changes in the team!!!!!

Yep, unnecessary from Martin

Untill the battle with Button the race had been OK for Fernando. After he overtook Button something happend and Button reovertook and from that point Fernando was much slower and it looked like he slowed down even Kimi. Probably had to tune down the PU.

Great race. Very let down by our speed though.

Also why did our future driver end up a second per lap slower than his team mate all race?

I really hope we can build a killer package next year.

Well, congratulations to Lewis. If he didn't win it, it would be a farce. Having said that, all I can think off is of next years winter testing, because at the moment and with today's performance I am feeling hollow. This cannot be the standard Ferrari sets themselves to. Tombazis, please please, get your head straight!!!!!

Carl Perkins says it for me ...

Carl Perkins - Glad all over

My honour to the WDC winner and also to the one who lost it - great move.

was Magnussen racing with spoiled suspension?
I heard radio message in the beginning but nothing happend then ..

I will keep an eye on Ric ... if he does so well next year too ... will be interesting how he developes and if he can repeat ...

**RedRebel40** · 23rd November 2014, 15:13

Not only hope we HAVE TO Period.

With Alonso gone we need it to be pretty much perfect.

Button was always faster than us in that Mclaren, the fact that Fernando had a chance with him was down to Button being slowed down and Fernando did the pitstop before him. After all had settled down, Button just used the better car. Ferrari was the 6th fastest car in this race, and that is where we are at the moment.

Very bad race for Ferrari and really sorry for Rosberg, not the way to finish the championship. Congrats to Lewis!.

1st Feb 2015 when Winter season testing begins at Jerez.

**Alonso14** · 23rd November 2014, 15:22

Can't wait for 2016.

A little over 2 months then. Good

Wonder when we'll see the presentation of the next car though

**pluto** · 23rd November 2014, 15:27

9th and 10th, what a sickening disgrace of a car. Tombazis and fry should have been sacked, all their cars have been rubbish, anyone who designs a mule like this is clearly incompetent. No hope for next season either we finished worse than we started, even getting owned by force india.

2019 isn't in then?
Engine rule changes in 5 years if i am not wrong?

**Senna4Ever** · 23rd November 2014, 15:29

who will be testing for us the coming days? Kimi alone?

Sky Germany now told: Bottas in talks with Ferrari for 2016
at least one positive news since weeks ....

Is Brawn coming back?.... looks like the team needs him.

Why would he come to Ferrari to finish 9th or 10th ?

I think it will be better for Ferrari if we have Brawn and lets say Kobayashi and Ericsson as drivers, than our current mule of a car with Kimi and Vettel.

**sachin** · 23rd November 2014, 15:36

When are the next big rule changes now, 2019 or 2020??
Why not Ferrari just focus on that and reap fruits then even if it comes at cost of some more poor years but then later we can be back where we belong and steamroll every other team just like Mercs this year.

**Stormy** · 23rd November 2014, 15:36

Shame for Rosberg's malfunction but he doesn't need to fell that sorry because even if his car was perfect and he passed Lewis he still couldn't win the title.
Congratulations to Hamilton he was better then Rosberg from every aspect and his title is fully deserved.
I don't want to comment our performance, i'm just looking forward for next year how our new PU is going to be and how much we will improve overall.

**bondilad** · 23rd November 2014, 15:36

Finally this miserable season for us is over

Thanks to K-mag we retained 4th position in the Constructors.

**PURE PASSION** · 23rd November 2014, 15:43

**Ferrarikkonen** · 23rd November 2014, 15:45

Kimi managed to score only 55 in 2014 as to 66 in 2001 back in his sauber days(2014 points system)

**TonyRizza** · 23rd November 2014, 15:47

that is bad then...

**Hornet** · 23rd November 2014, 15:50

Judging by Alonso and Vettel's statement after the race, it seems they are not convinced anyone can challenge Merc next year, which is probably a realistic statement more than anything. They are betting on long term success.
