So, Phil on pole, as we probably all expected, Lewis only fourth, and the Trulli train has 18 carriages behind it, which we didn't all expect. There may or may not be rain tomorrow, which nobody could be expected to expect.
Only one thing remains certain though.
Tomorrow, whatever the outcome, the instant the race is over, the world will resound with thousands of fingers typing on thousands of keyboards, flooding the internet with tedious flame wars and extra-large, bold text all shrieking "WORST WORLD CHAMPION EVER! HE DIDN'T DESERVE IT!" and how it should have been Kimi / Alonso / Balding Rob (delete as appropriate according to team prejudices and/or national inclinations) all along, even though none of them scored as many points as the top two.
May March 2009 and the start of a new season with a clean slate, different cars, the hopeful resurgence of Honda and even more hopefully the end of idiotic decisions by the FIA and the stewards, roll round very quickly.
