Ferrari did a fantastic job even if there is problem and in the end they lose. But I hope for the best. Still, the engine concerns may be premature as there is rain expected in Brazil. Everything can still happen!

Let's be realistic. Ferrari have done an excellent job in the second half of the season but if you look at the season as a whole, both drivers have made too many unforced errors. Alonso would be leading the championship comfortably if it wasn't for HIS mistakes earlier in the year. Having said that, other teams have a similar situation and nobody really deserves this year's championship. For us viewers, though, things are fantastic.

Formula One drivers are humans and it is very difficult not to make mistakes in the heat of the season, so I have to say that all five of the contenders for the championship have done a very good job.

I think if Vettel, Webber, Alonso and Hamilton had kept their noses clean we'd still have a close championship, but if only one of those drivers had made no mistakes, the championship would have been sewn up by now. It could quite easily have been won by the second or third best team by now. Its been a rollercoaster of a season.

Very well stated.

Could not agree with this more.

Mistake-free seasons are extremely rare, and boring anyway!

Based on that it's quite impressive, how Alonso managed to get through 2006 season virtually mistake-free despite being involved in a close championship battle.

SAO PAULO -- A Brazilian prosecutor warned Felipe Massa that he could be arrested and sentenced to up to six years in prison if he takes team orders to help Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso win the Formula One title.

Massa could be charged with fraud if he allows Alonso to pass him or if he does anything else that would somehow alter the result Sunday at in Interlagos, according to prosecutor Paulo Castilho, known for taking up sports causes in Brazil.

"Massa or any other driver who does anything to fraud the result of the race can be arrested and formally charged," Castilho told The Associated Press on Thursday. "It doesn't mean that it will happen, it will be up to the local authority in charge of the event to decide whether the law has been broken."
