Some wise-guy came up with this scenario on: hid headlights http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2010/10/19/f1-fanatic-round-up-19102010/
BTW I'm not endorsing it

But I think StD pinche would!

Seems some people have absolutely nothing to do at all. Probably a government worker doing some of his oh so busy work!

Glad to see you weren't too busy yourself to find time to comment on it

3. Hamilton 210 (- 21)
4. Vettel 206 ( - 25)

Of course, but for Jenson it will be very difficult.

[niemamczasu]

So now they're saying on Spanish Tv that Alonso could, mathematically, be champion in Brazil if he wins and Webber is lower than fifth or fourth or something.

[insightmike]

True, but still this means nothing. Everything is possible. Ferrari has problems with engines. Everything can change. But yes, it is looking good for him!

[niemamczasu]

I think the championship is now between Alonso and Webber, and Red Bull should swallow their pride, take Vettel to one side and tell him the bad news. He'll have plenty of other years to try again.

Obviously, Hamilton is still in there, but you would expect Button to support him now.

I fully agree with you. Its Alonso vs Webber now.

I think it is a 3 way battles and will come down to the last race.
Man, Interlagos will be some race. too many variables. Thank God we don't have that medals system.

It always is.

Not according to Horner.

Which is fair enough. But Alonso only needs a third and fourth place finish in the two remaining rounds to beat Vettel, regardless of whether Vettel wins both remaining races.

Food for thought.

Not according to Horner.

I notice that both Red Bull and McLaren management and drivers were very careful not to say anything on TV that could later be used as evidence that they were using team orders

There'll be conversations behind closed doors between now and Brazil, mark my words.

[Sleflanna]

I think Red Bull should wait and see what happens in Brazil before fully backing Webber. If Alonso goes off the track early and DNFs, Vettel is right back in the fight. If Vettel and Webber are together on track and Alonso looks like finishing in the top 3 or 4, they'd have to seriously think about making sure Webber is in front of Vettel.

Can't rule out Hamilton yet, either, though he'd need a bit of luck (like he had today).

Especially in Red Bull's case, beyond Horner's comments I am still skeptical...

I don't care if Elvis appears at the Brazillian GP. Unless Alonso or Webber have a DNF at Brazil, one of them will be WDC.

And yes, team orders will play a part in the last two races, even though people will deny this because only some cheat, the rest don't

[mpzoFeJs]

I have to admit that for me the excitement of the championship is gone now. It is so one-sided that it is almost ridiculous. The Ferrari/Alonso combo works inch-perfectly like a surgeon, while the rest of the rivals are just complete chokers. When Webber was WDC-leader, excitement was always in the air - can he really keep it up, surely he won't keep going troublefree until the end, etc. But with Alonso in front things are clear.

Simply astonishing. After mid-season Alonso was firmly out of the WDC-fight, but the competitors have been doing their ultimate best to collectively hand the title to him on a silver platter. And it's not just about the drivers. RBR and it's reliability and team management. McLaren's car development has got completely stuck somewhere since mid-season and their reliability could have been better too (for instance Alonso has suffered a car failure only for once and even that from P9).

Alonso will deserve the title, sure. But this is just frustrating to watch the competition giving up without even a fight. And this is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsports.

Vettel's engine failure was reminiscent of Schumacher in Japan '06. After playing catch-up all season a comeback and even a title seemed suddenly a realistic outlook, when suddenly all the hopes go bang up in smoke.

[HedgeYourBets]

So here we are.
11 points after 17 races. And 5 guys with a chance. Not bad at all.

Alonso leads Webber by 21, one more race win will NOT secure him the gold. He leads the points and most importantly he leads the team. A win and a podium [271] is required.

Webber is less than a race win away from Alonso, he needs a win. Two wins [270] are required to guarantee the c'ship, regardless where anyone else finishes.

Hamilton and Vettel are still in it with outside chances that rely almost solely on misfortunes of Alonso and Webber.

Button has no hope, time to play no2. Vettel probably won't be no.2 for another race it, and I think he will have a large part to play in this year's story.


RBR have the fastest car and as long as Mark can get on pole...

Thoughts?
