The worldwide poll on grand prix racing is collecting the opinions of the fans on everything from the battle for this season's championship, to new circuits, to the future direction of F1.
More than 50,000 fans have already taken part, but the survey will closed at the end of today. To take part, visit www.ingf1racingmagazinefansurvey.com
The results will be published later this year.
"Later in the race I was behind Mark Webber and tried to fight him, which ruined my tyres. When the first rain drops appeared with eight laps to go I gambled and pitted for intermediates. There was nothing to lose. I was tenth, but unfortunately I stayed tenth. Anyway we didn't have a good race today, but nevertheless we had a good season. Congratulations to the world champions!"
Robert Kubica - 11th: "Losing third place in the Drivers' championship in the last race is definitely not the best situation. We made too many mistakes during the weekend and this is the result. Unfortunately I started on dry tyres, as we had the wrong information about the track conditions. During the race I was stuck behind Adrian Sutil for quite a long time. I managed to make up some positions in the final laps of the race, but it was too late. Congratulations to Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton!"
Mario Theissen (BMW Motorsport Director): "As last year, it was a dramatic final. Lewis Hamilton clinched his title literally on the last kilometre of this race - congratulations, also to Ferrari! For our team it was a disappointing finish to a very strong season."
Willy Rampf (Technischer Director): "For our team this was an end of season to forget. With Robert we gambled at the start with dry tyres, but the track was too wet. Therefore he pitted immediately for a tyre change, and after this found himself at the end of the field. From here there was nothing he could do. Nick lost position right after the start. Even pitting earlier than others at the end of the race did not change the situation. Nevertheless it was a very successful season for our team, and this race doesn't change this. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton and to Ferrari for winning the championship."
Hill, who won the world title in 1996 for Williams, said Hamilton now had the potential to become one of the greatest drivers to have emerged from the British Isles.
"Lewis is a tremendous talent, a great ambassador for British motor sport and possibly one of the greatest drivers we have had in this country," said Hill, now president of the BRDC, which owns British Grand Prix venue Silverstone.
"He has got a world championship in the bank and I think he is going to be difficult to stop from now on.
Hill, who watched the race at a promotional event at Silverstone, admitted that, just like many Hamilton fans in the UK and around the world, he was on edge of his seat as the McLaren driver slipped out of a title-winning fifth position with three laps to go at Interlagos.
"It was despair with two laps to go," he said. "We couldn't believe what we were watching because we thought 'how's it gone wrong at this late stage?' and then, on the last corner, [Timo] Glock was overtaken and we were suddenly back in the frame again.
"Poor Felipe Massa and Ferrari were up and down, everyone here was up and down - it was just a tremendously exciting race.
"The rain at the end seemed to throw Glock incredibly. Lewis at one point had got it wrong but actually it turned out to be Timo that had made the mistake.
"My congratulations to Lewis, Lewis's family and to McLaren - it is so good to be celebrating a British world champion."
Below is the order in which each driver used his tyre compounds in the Brazilian Grand Prix, as recorded by Bridgestone:
Ferrari Kimi Raikkonen Wet Medium Medium Wet Felipe Massa Wet Medium Medium Wet BMW Sauber Nick Heidfeld Wet Medium Medium Wet Robert Kubica Wet Medium Medium Wet Renault Fernando Alonso Wet Medium Medium Wet Nelson Piquet Wet DNF Williams Nico Rosberg Wet Medium Medium Wet Kazuki Nakajima Wet Medium Medium Wet Red Bull Racing David Coulthard Wet DNF Mark Webber Wet Medium Medium Wet Toyota Jarno Trulli Wet Medium Medium Timo Glock Wet Medium Medium Scuderia Toro Rosso Sebastien Bourdais Wet Medium Medium Extreme Wet Sebastian Vettel Wet Medium Medium Medium Wet Honda Jenson Button Wet Medium Medium Medium Extreme Wet Rubens Barrichello Wet Medium Medium Extreme Wet Force India Adrian Sutil Wet Soft Soft Extreme Wet Giancarlo Fisichella Wet Soft Soft Extreme Wet McLaren Lewis Hamilton Wet Medium Medium Wet Heikki Kovalainen Wet Medium Medium Wet
The Brazilian did what he needed to do in his home race, taking a dominant victory, his sixth of the 2008 season.
In a dramatic finish, however, McLaren rival Lewis Hamilton finished in fifth to secure the title.
Massa was virtually the world champion when he crossed the finish line, but Hamilton overtook Timo Glock for fifth with just a couple of corners to go to grab the title.
"I think you know the race was just perfect," said a tearful Massa. "We did everything fantastically with such a difficult weather. I am so proud about that race I am so proud about the team.
"I am so proud about the people around who support me more than ever, more than 100 percent, much more than I expected.
"That is really an emotional day for me. You always do everything perfect even with the temperature but we saw Lewis passing Glock again and that is really mixed a lot of emotions, but that is racing.
"The race finishes at the chequered flag. We finished in front and we have to be very proud of that, we missed one point but that is racing. We need to be proud about our job, we need to be proud about our race and our championship.
"I know how to win and I know how to lose. It is another day of my life. I will learn a lot from this day but I am very emotional."
Ferrari, however, clinched the constructors' championship and Massa admitted he was happy for that.
The Brazilian, winner of one more race than Hamilton this year, said he had paid the price for some difficult races during the season.
He insisted that he was happy with his championship and is looking to bounce back next year.
"Everything perfect today and unfortunately it was not enough, and I think we did a great championship we had some ups and downs and we paid for that," the Brazilian said.
"There are races like that, sometimes you have a perfect year with so many victories and a very reliable car, sometimes you have ups and downs, that is racing.
"One year to the another many things change and that was our championship, but even if we have some ups and downs, I think everybody did a great job, everybody worked really hard to achieve our goals with the heart and sometimes thing don't happen in the way we want, but that is racing, that is the sport, but we need to be happy with our constructors' championship, it is very important.
"I am sure our president, everyone in the team is very proud, very happy like me - and we need to congratulate Lewis as he did a great championship, he scored more points than us so he deserves to be champion. I know how to lose, I know how to win and it is another day of my life where I will learn a lot.
"Hopefully we come back here with the title (next year), but it is part of our experience and part of our life."
"Bridgestone celebrated its 200th Grand Prix this year. Ten years ago we celebrated the first drivers' and constructors' world championships won with our tyres when Mika Hakkinen and McLaren Mercedes triumphed, so it is an honour to see Lewis Hamilton win the drivers' title using our tyres today.
"Lewis has driven with Bridgestone tyres for most of his career, from the early days in karting, through the GP2 Series to Formula One. We also celebrate the eighth Constructors' Championship won using our tyres by Ferrari and this is a momentous achievement. This was the first season where we have been the Official Tyre Supplier to Formula One and we offer our thanks to all teams and organisers around the world, the FIA and all of our Bridgestone personnel in Formula One and around the world."
Hirohide Hamashima - Bridgestone Director of Motorsport Tyre Development: "Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton for winning the 2008 drivers' championship. Congratulations also to Felipe Massa for winning his home Grand Prix and well done to Ferrari for winning the Constructors' Championship.
"We are very appreciative of the fine battles we saw on track today in a very exciting race. The weather was crucial and it made for difficult tyre choices for competitors. Everyone started on the wet tyre then opted for the dry tyres for their second stint. The race pace was very good in the conditions and the rain at the end made it very interesting indeed.
"Looking back over the season I am very happy with Bridgestone's participation. We have enabled very close competition throughout the year and there were no tyre defects. Thank you to all Bridgestone staff and all competitors. We now look forward to the 2009 season and a return to Bridgestone slick tyres."
Nelson Piquet – 11th: "It's clear that I would have liked to reach Q3 today. The car was working well, I was comfortable and I pushed hard, but that wasn't enough. The times are very close, just as we expect, but I must now concentrate on the race tomorrow where I will do everything to try and move forward and score some points."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "As usual the very short lap time here produced a close grid. Nelson was very unlucky not to make Q3 as he was just a fraction slower than Fernando in Q2. But Fernando did a magnificent job as always and secured a good grid position with a sensible fuel load. We are now looking forward to the race tomorrow."
Denis Chevrier, Head of Engine Track Operations: "After free practice this morning, we had realistic hopes of reaching Q3 with both cars. Nelson just missed out on a place by a few hundredths, which is frustrating for his home Grand Prix, but he will have the freedom to adapt to the conditions we get tomorrow. As this will be a 71-lap race, the strategy and starting fuel loads meant that the gaps in Q3 were especially close today. Now we have to wait for tomorrow, but we are hopeful of a positive race."
