I for one hope this title is sorted at Brazil. Purely for selfish reasons - I'm gonna be in a plane 30,000 feet up when Abu Dhabi's lights go out.
I should think the Merc engines should offer the Brawns a decent chance to put this to bed.All other opinions are wrong....

Is Alonso a better driver than Schumacher - they are both one of the best.
Alonso races in an era where there are a handful of other drivers to beat - Schumacher had only one at a time.
But the significant difference, compared to Schumacher's era and makes it even more complex and difficult is that these days due to the control tyres, cars have become as mercurial as drivers - nobody knows what car is going to turn up and the days of boutiqueing tyres as Schumacher had and Alonso at Renault in 2005 and 06 are gone.
The most intriguing part of Alonso at Ferrari is watching just how he is going achieve beating Schumacher's records. If there is a driver with the ability and determination to do that it is Alonso.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Y'know, at the end of 2007, it was already time for Dennis to have left because he was the central cause that Alonso failed to win the title.
And not that Kimi was an undeserving champion far from it - Mclaren owed him BIG TIME - but I think it would have been appropriate if Kimi had begun his title acceptance speech at the FIA dinner with: I would first like to thank Ron Dennis for making this moment possible, thanks RonJense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Kobayashi replacing Glock is good in that he gets a chance to race in F1 but it doesn't matter to me either way unless he scores some points.

I had a really weird dream last night.
I dreamed that Vettel got sideways on the track and got slammed into by a Toro Rosso, then Webber came and hit the back of the TR, and eventually they picked up the two Brawns. It was really vivid, so vivid that I woke up to look and see if there had been any news on Autosport from the Red Bull camp.
Well, let's see if Red Bull keep their form from Japan and come out swinging in Brazil. I want Vettel to fight until the very last GP and have Webber redeem himself for his string of mishaps!Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011

If Vettel were to win the 2009 title it would be the most remarkable event in modern motor racing and even a Button supporter like myself would applaud such an incredible performance.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D
