Fantastic job, Fernando!
Hopefully we see an even more competitive Renault next year and a 4/5 driver fight for the title.

:D It wasn't a negative joke if you interpreted this in that way. :)

After the Japanese Grand Prix I have started to think for the first time during this year that Alonso together with Renault might be a genuine title contender in 2009.

Hopefully not, Alonso deserves a much better Team than Honda :p : Anyway it won't happen as Briatore yesterday almost confirmed (to Sky Sport Italy) him at Renault ;)

I'm not too optomistic on 2009, whilst I believe the racing will improve, I think the main factor to this seasons closeness is that the regulations have been largely still since 1998, so teams have all maximised what they can get out of the current regulations.

With the big changes planned for next year, the biggest teams are going to go much further infront of the rear runners. Which is unfortunate in many ways, having had 5 teams win this year, I cannot off top my head think of last time this happened?

But if the racing is improved (whilst despite the stewards efforts the racing has been good this year), I'll be happy.

Don't worry - the stewards will do their best to keep us entertained. :rolleyes:

This is truely great news for the sport, great to see 5 guys all capable of winning next years the championship.

Alonso
Hamilton
Kubica
Massa
Raikkonen

He made some mistakes this year, getting desperate in overdriving the car. But he has learnt from that. Only a driver of Alonso's calibre could win two in a row with that Renault.
