5th place just winning the championship Answer:
Hamilton needed to finish at least fifth in the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix to secure the World Championship. After a hard fought race Lewis was in fifth but, after rain, and in the closing laps of the race, Sebastian Vettel of Scuderia Toro Rosso took the fifth position away from Hamilton. Had the race ended then, this would have given the driver's title to Massa. On the final lap of the race first Vettel and then Hamilton managed to pass Timo Glock of Toyota, after Glock (unlike Hamilton) had risked staying on the track with dry-weather tyres, despite the rain. This moved Hamilton back up to fifth, ensuring that he finished one point ahead of Massa overall and winning the 2008 title. Hamilton's overtaking move happened after Massa had crossed the line, and TV cameras showed Massa's entourage apparently celebrating winning the title and suddenly noticing that Hamilton had snatched it. This meant that Hamilton had clinched the 2008 Formula One World Championship, becoming the youngest driver to win the title

Why were the Formula 1 Mclaren team docked points at the 2009 Australian Grand Prix?
Just before the end of the race during the final few laps of the Australian GP Trulli had supposedly overtaken Lewis Hamilton for the 3rd position during a safety car period. For safety reasons, overtaking is prohibited when the safety car is deployed. After the race this overtaking incident was investigated by the stewards and after hearing Lewis the stewards decided that Trulli made an intentional overtake during safety car period and penalized him. Later, after a thorough investigation, it was found that Lewis was lying. Trulli had passed him because Hamilton slowed down and trulli thought he was giving back his place that he took a couple of corners back. Since the stewards found that Lewis had intentionally provided faulty information, they disqualified both Lewis and McLaren and stripped them off the points they scored in the race.
