The games against Regina in Seria A and Anorthosis in Champions League proved to be not so easy as everyone expected. Inter scored the winning goal in the injury time against Regina while against Anorthosis they manage to equalize 10 minutes before time.

The goals were conceded after terrible defensive mistakes and could been even worse if Cesar would not have had those interventions. However Mourinho did not have too many options at the back as Rivas and Chivu are both injured, Samuel was not on Uefa list while Cordoba was not fit.

Mourinho doesn’t seems to be woried about the sittuation: “It’s a positive point for us and it leaves us in a good very good situation in terms of qualification. However, I believe that if you want to do well in the Champions League then you have to be strong in February not now.

It was a game where we scored seven goals. Three for ourselves and three for them too and Cambiasso also scored for us but it was disallowed.”

Also Zanetti said: “The important thing is to stay calm and believe in what you are doing. It doesn’t matter if we conceded three goals to a Cypriot team, all matches that are played at this level are difficult.”

Inter has two draws in the last three matches and there are heavy games coming. If Inter wins the next game against Panathinaikos they are qualified for the last 16 and then all they have to do is focuss on Serie A games.

Felippe Massa the second contender for the  title, won the race at Interlagos and for a period of two laps was the new F1 World Champion, but Hamilton managed to surpass  Glock in the final lap,who had dry tires, and take position five, enough to win the the title.

The race at Interlagos, was a quiet race until the end.From the beginning Fellipe Massa, who was racing in front of his own supporters and in his own country, leaded the race from the beginning, while Hamilton didn’t go lower than position five.What seemed to be a normal race, changed in the final laps, when Hamilton was surpassed by Vettel and lost position five.At that point with Hamilton in position six, Massa was the new F1 World Champion.But the luck was on Hamilton’s side, and after last season when he lost the title in the same place, this time he manage to win back position five after Glock slowed down, and win the F1 World Champion for the first time.

By winning the title he has broken a few records, becoming at 23 years old the youngest F1 World Champion in history.Meanwhile Ferrari will have to consolate with winning Constructors Chamionship.
