Oct.22 (GMM) The world's press on Monday marvelled at how Lewis Hamilton's championship bid stumbled at the last hurdle.



"Hamilton first lost his head and then the championship," the Catalunya newspaper El Periodico said, referring to how the Briton stumbled with driving errors early on in the Brazilian grand prix.



The Spanish sports daily Marca added: "Hamilton is not the youngest world champion, but instead the driver who most quickly blew a world title".



National newspaper 'Sport' observed: "Hamilton handed Ferrari the championship on a silver platter".



El Mundo similarly noted: "In a team are two sacred rules: teamwork and the establishment of a hierarchy.



"McLaren broke both".



France's L'Equipe reckons McLaren is to blame for poor management of its drivers.



"In the weeks since losing the constructors' crown because of a spying affair, the drivers' title was also lost because McLaren put all efforts into Hamilton rather than Alonso", it read.



Europe's top news magazine Der Spiegel said: "Kimi showed that he adapts to any car, as long as it is not a McLaren".



Corriere della Sera in Italy noticed that Alonso was not too upset to see the title go to his and teammate Lewis Hamilton's rival.



"Alonso cheered Raikkonen's victory more than the Finn himself," the newspaper said.
