What an exciting finish to the race.....I think there might be an execution being planned in Marinello, Italy right now for the Ferarri crew chief that got his mileage math screwed up..to think the results of the entire season came down to one quart of E85..addin pain to sorrow they threw away the Constructor's title as well...BMW 1st with 158 pts, Porsche 2nd with 157 and Ferarri 3rd at 155....A great victory for the Pratt & Miller boys after a season of the other kind of luck....Big Congrats to all the drivers and crew members....Nice job, Doug Fehan as well..looks like the decision to shuffle the drivers paid off....start planning for next season....the competition will be even tougher...

Just curious - how does the Ferrari still end up 3rd when they didn't cross the finish line? It looked like they were stopped dead about a turn or 2 short. Does the running order get locked in once the winning car crosses the line?

Why do you think other people go through the trouble of NOT putting it the TITLE of their post and if they do want to discuss it, listing it as a possible SPOILER?

Wow, what a race. They fought long and hard and finally got what they deserved after a very long, tough season.

Yeah but people with common sense would be respectful it's been an unwritten rule that you don't post winners (spoilers) in the title of the thread, it's just rude
