No hope in hell.


Correct. Should have had it but for Red Bull's tactics a couple of years ago. Now they clearly are behind Vettel. I don't think Webber's car gets sabotaged but I think they make sure he gets the "iffier" of the cars if they're not sure about something. How often does he have the KERS issue? I don't blame them either, it's a tight championship and had Webber taken too many points off Vettel Alonso might have a race in hand right now. The car also isn't designed to be as great in a fight with other cars, it's designed to get to the front row of the grid, get out of DRS in a couple of laps and stay out front. Webber not qualifying well (and not starting well) kills him too often. But he does a good job: They'll win 3 drivers and constructors world championships in a row.

Title will come down to the final race after Hamilton won in the US.
Vettel 2nd
Alonso 3rd
Webber DNF
Vettel holds a 13 point lead over Alonso heading to Brazil

Was funny hearing Vettel whinge about DRS making it too easy for Hamilton to pass him, he wasn't complaining last race when he had the aid of DRS when coming through the field

Championship decider is upon us folks! Who is everyone going for?

I for one am hoping for an Alonso win, because I think he and also Hamilton, has been the better, more consistent driver this year. Hamilton has had his reliability issues (you can probably add 80 points to his tally, plus the points he would have taken off the others). Alonso has just put that Ferrari car in places where no one expected it to be.

I fear that it will be all one way traffic come Sunday night. Vettel leading from pole to flag, be it wet or dry..

Im not a Vettel fan but think he is the best driver and deserves the title.
Wouldnt be upset if Alonso won though.
As long as that wanker Hamilton fails to finish ill be happy

Chaotic start to the race! Vettel lucky to be even in the race still after causing a crash at the start

Safety car out for debris everywhere. Hulkenburg leads Button. Commentators picked up Vettel passing under yellow flags, missed by race officials though. Looks like his championship

That last race of the season was the best IMHO.
