Vettel will smarten up his act, he is fastest on the track in that car, and he will win. :(
Before the start of the season I reckoned that Alonso would win, but now Webber is looking the strongest.
Nevertheless, the strength that will in my view win out in the end is Ferrari - they know how to win championships and WILL do what they have to.
I vote for Alonso - also because in the RB6 yesterday, he would have driven away.
Although if Webber does win - it would be another amazing racing story - Jense then Webber? You could not write this stuff!
Championships are won by the canniest.Quote:

I just LOVED watching Webber's driving yesterday. Describing someone driving Lauda-like is for me the highest compliment I can pay.
Two McLarens and two Redbull have 10 points deficit one another. All of them have nearly the same chance on winning.
Provided Ferrari in the next races can perform with some improvement, Alonso would be there challenging the title. Team can easily send another messages to Massa. :)
Bit too close to call at the moment - isn't it great!
But Vettel for all his problems this year is only 10 points behind. I think he'll nick it in the end.
I'm thinking Webber because he's driving the best car. Vettel is making too many errors to put together a WDC winning year and Mark has the experience which could see him through.
If McLaren get their qualifying pace sorted then Hamilton & Button may be serious contenders, but as more races pass into the history books a second title for either of them is looking less likely.
Alonso's the outsider for me, even with Massa's support.
Still...a lot can, and probably will, change!!
You could have said he drove like Bunsen. :p : :D :rotflmao:Quote:

The last two European races will suit McLaren a lot more than Hungaroring, that is for sure.
Indeed :DQuote:
