    Money should be on Alonso or Webber, but with the way this season has gone, I wouldn't even write off even Button for the WDC chase yet!

    Stranger things have happened though, eh.
    You have old, already used engines combined with a number of drivers that can be ruthless while passing and ruthless while blocking. Some of these drivers just drive right off the track from time to time.

    Simply put, the next two races will have those that must pass going against those that cannot afford to be passed and that will make for some real iffy moves. If you are in the "have to pass" group, you have nothing to lose by going for it.
    If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

    Has Button got the killer mentality to be that aggressive? He did it last year at Brazil to win the title but will he be as fired up to keep his faint (read non-existent) championship hopes alive.

    I can see a coming together between say Vettel and Alonso though.
    All other opinions are wrong....

    I can well forsee Jenson treating Brazil as a "sh*t or bust" race, if you'll excuse the expression. Might as well fling it off the track trying...

    I like this....Webber takes out Alonso and limps home taking 4th. Vettel takes the win with Hamilton second. We now have those four drivers within four points of eachother, with one race to go.

    Winner takes all in a one race showdown...

    I'd like to see Lewis do to Alonso what Alonso did to Lewis at Interlagos in '07, and I'd like it to be that just such a move sees Lewis take the title, by one point.

    for alonso to win he needs to finish ahead of redbull

    for mark to win he needs a win and alonso to finish 4th and beat him in the last race or 2 wins and alonso to finish 3 in each race

    for lewis he needs to win both raceas alonso 4th in each race and mark 3rd

    for vettel he needs to win both raceas alonso 4th in 1 race and 5th in the other and mark 4rd

    for button he needs to win both races and the other 4 driver to DNF

    Ah yes, that was when Alonso made Lewis push the wrong buttons on his steering wheel
    Oh, it was also when Ferrari team orders made Massa (poor poor squiggy, in his home race too! What heartless souls ) give up his place at the last pit stops to give Kimi the title, by one point ahead of Lewis and Alonso.
    What was it Alonso did again?

    You need to pay more attention at the back there DJ....

    Fred drove Lewis off the track as Lewis was passing on the outside of turn 3 on the first lap.
