While there still remains doubt as to who will ultimately be named the 2007 world champion, there exists absolutely zero uncertainty that the season just past served up more twists and turns than a Black Diamond Rattler at its noisiest best.
In fact, in virtually all areas - bar, crucially, those of fatalities - 2007 surpassed that highly controversial 1982 season for on- and off-track drama, politics and polemics, and (il)legalities.
And, just like that season, a hard-charging and hard-partying Finn came from behind to take the title - if, that is, Kimi Raikkonen gets to keep the crown his win in Brazil should have assured him of.
All this was, of course, fertiliser of the best type for Formula One's grapevine, with all rumours, suppositions and paddock tales immediately being countered by opposite reactions of at least equal proportions.
