After pulling off one of the most memorable screw jobs in sports, he has to get paid.

In case you didn’t know it yet, the 2008 F1 season finally concluded with Lewis Hamilton becoming the sport’s youngest world champion ever. Hamilton won the title in only his second year in Formula One. All thanks to Timo Glock, who literally made it all happen for him.

For all ya’ll who missed it, it was Timo Glock who let Lewis Hamilton pass merely meters away from the checkered flag to award the McLaren driver a fifth place finish, ultimately awarding him the 2008 F1 world title.

You see, Felipe Massa had it won after winning his home grand prix. Ferrari was celebrating too, thinking that the world championship was theirs. But after watching Glock slow down meters away from the checkered flag to let Hamilton take fifth place, the celebration turned to despair. Yes, they just got their asses screwed over by Timo Glock and Toyota.

If Glock only managed to maintain his fifth position, Felipe Massa would’ve won the title. Instead, he decided to be the centerpiece of the title fight between Hamilton and Massa, taking it upon himself to be the most popular man in Formula One in the weeks to come without actually winning the title.

Did Glock deliberately let Hamilton pass? Did he hate Massa that much?

”I was on dry tires at the end of the race when it was raining quite badly and it was just impossible on the last lap,” Glock said afterwards, denying allegations that he was conspiring with Hamilton.

”I was fighting as hard as I could but it was so difficult to just keep the car on the track and I lost positions right at the end of the lap.”

The question now is, how much has Glock exactly earned out of this deal?
