I really want Webber to win. Too close to call really. I hope Vettel helps Webber out.

Honestly don't care who wins.

I like Webber as a person, but Vettel is the better driver of the two.........but I don't really like Vettel.

Alonso has definately been on form lately but won't be a good champion. Lewis would have been my preferred winner, but it's as good as impossible for him.

Vettel has more time to win titles, Webber is runnin out of time. I never liked Webber until he won at Silverstone?? and came out with his 'not bad for a number 2 driver' comment.

That would be the dream I still think they should use Button as a battering ram at the first corner but the shit bastard probably couldnt even qualify high enough to get anywhere near the top 3.

Seeing as Lewis is all but out I'll be cheering on Webber. Hate Alonso and hate Red Bull and they clearly wanted Vettel to win it so it would shove it in their face a bit too.

Fancy him to do it too. Chances are it will be a RB 1-2 in Quali so as long as they get a good start they should pull away from the dirty spic and Vettel will probs have to let Mark through near the end.

This would be ace , I'm still backing although his chances are very very slim but its not impossible.

Who do I think is going to do it though? Probably Alonso but I hope he doesn't

If the redbulls run away at the start of the race it'll be quite a boring race tbh. A wet race could be interesting if it was to happen

I think his WDC states otherwise


Hoping Webber gets it as he won't be in the sport much longer but i think it's a very slim chance considering RBR (read Dietrich Mateschitz) want Vettel to win the title. It wouldn't surprise me if Webber has a 'mechanical' failure (or tell him his engine is overheating and to change maps) in the last few laps that hands first place to Vettel.

Hamilton has got a chance to be honest, Ferrari and RBR are better suited to track and even if it pours it down it'll still require the top 3 to fall off the track which is highly unlikely. Nevermind

Hopefully the dago won't get the title though

I think his WDC states otherwise



When he was in a FAR superior car to the rest of the field for half of the season, when the others caught up he very nearly threw it away. He got lucky that season, he wont win another title in the rest of his career unless he strikes it lucky with another Brawn type moment. He isn't quick enough. He was appalling in Korea and his Quali in Brazil was embarrassing.

Lewis would have smashed him in this years WDC if he hadnt got unlucky in several races like Italy and Singapore. The contact against Massa was his fault but the fact it was so little yet caused him to retire was unlucky, especially when you compare it to some coming togethers this year where drivers have got away with it (Webber somehow able to carry on after his smash with Vettel in Turkey) Lewis rubs Massa's tyre and his steering falls apart

Theres better drivers in the sport who are better than Button that have finished lower down in the WDC this season. Kubica and Rosberg to name a few.

He got lucky? he tied the championship up with a fantastic drive in Brazil with a race to spare. He consistently beat his team mate over the season and its not his fault he got given a good car. I would argue a certain Mr Schumacher won all his titles in a superior car........

And there is no way you can claim Hamilton was unlucky in Singapore!! He tried to rush a move round the outside where he would have been better off waiting for a better moment to pass.

Just so you know I love both drivers, support the brits etc, but I just disagree with a couple of your points Jonny.

He got lucky in the fact he had a far superior car for the first half of the season, no one could touch it and it meant he could stroll to 6 wins out of the first 7 races. He had a massive headstart and when the cars caught up he didnt win 1 single race out of 10 . Also his team mate was Barrichello, hardly the type of formidable team mate who would challenge you for the title, he showed that at Ferrari, which as you rightly put was a far superior car to the rest of the field.

I just dont buy that Button is in the World Class catergory. Put the top 5 drivers in the same car this year and i reckon he would get beat by all 4 of them.

I have to agree with Jonny. There is no doubt button is a good driver, you can't just have a decent car and not be a good driver.

But at least 3 of the 4 guys are a step above him
