The autosport.com 2007 Top Ten

Tony Dodgins (TD)

1. Lewis Hamilton; 2. Kimi Raikkonen; 3. Fernando Alonso; 4. Felipe Massa; 5. Mark Webber

Two races before the end, Hamilton was number one, no question. But then he blew the world championship reaching for levels of performance he didn't need. What the hell - if that's the way he wanted to win it, good luck to him. There's plenty of time, he said, and you hope those words don't come back to haunt him. Kimi played a great back nine but bogeyed a few of the early holes. While nobody can deny he deserves a title, he lacked Lewis's sparkle. Alonso? Well, you'd need a book, not a paragraph. We saw pressure mistakes for the first time - Barcelona, Montreal, Fuji - and his judgement called into question both in and out of the car. In the end, though, he lost it by a point. Massa handled Kimi's pace and took twice as many poles. If Ferrari had remembered to fuel him in Hungary Q2 he'd have been in the hunt a lot longer. Webber continued to qualify superbly but the Red Bull let him down too often on Sunday.
