Should be an interesting show down today. I might even watch it for the first time!!
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Hope Hamilton and Alonso come a cropper today as neither man should be even within a shout of this title given the spying scandal. Either way it's sickening the way the English media have blanked that out of their minds and papers, and equally sickening that no-one is mentioning that it is easier to win a title with the new points system than it would have been for say Schumacher in his still outstanding debut season
I'll be rooting for Hamilton today
It'll be historical and I think the lad deserves it Scandal or No

Patrese came second in the championship that year FFS!
I hope Raikkonen wins today but if it has to a McLaren, I'd prefer Hamilton to Alonso's whining.

I realise Schumacher didn't win, or come close, but he still had an outstanding debut season. The point I was trying to make was that the media has been saying all week that if Hamilton wins this year it pretty much proves that he is better than Schumacher, as Schumacher didn't win the title in his first year, but I believe that it is actually easier to win a title with this new points system then it was back then and so proves nothing*

*That's without even considering that the logic the media are using is nonsense to begin with of course
I don't think the points system makes it easier to win a title really, only one driver can win either way! The difference is that consistent finishes are rewarded more than intermittent race wins. Whether that makes it easier to win in your first season is arguable. I'd normally expect a rookie to make more mistakes than a seasoned racer so in general, this system should favour experience. Either way, getting a seat in one of the top two cars is a far more important factor in winning the title which is a much bigger flaw in that 'Hamilton is better than Schumacher' logic. In 10 years, a comparison may be valid but not now.

Hamilton in 16th at the moment, looks like the rookie could be in trouble
11th now..making his way back up

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
How many points for each positon? Am I right in saying that Alonso has it won if it remains the same? Any chance that Ferrari would order Massa to move aside to let Raikkonnen overtake towards the end?
I am no expert but Ferrari will definitely let Raikkonen win. Means Alonso needs 2nd & Hamilton 5th to take title away from Ferrari.
Alonso 17 seconds off 1st place now and Hamilton in 13th

Kubica overtakes Alonso. Raikonnen's to lose.
Hamilton is pretty much finished, the McLaren ballsed up by putting him on a 3 stopper, still I don't like him soForza Kimi!!
So the treble of England qualifying for Euro 2008 and Winning the Rugby World Cup and Hamilton winnning the Formula 1 title is going up in smoke ha ha !!!!
In Trap we trust
Wow, what a mad race! Delighted for Kimi, he's been so unfortunate with reliability over the last few years. With all that's gone on this year, I can't help thinking that a Ferrari win is appropriate. McLaren lost it for Hamilton with daft choices both in China with the ****ed tyre and today with the extra stop.
LOL.

Delighted to see Raikonen win it. I am a Raikonen fan and I thought he struggled at first with Ferrari. He's been a poor starter in races even from good positions on the grid. But he did turn it around. He won the most races and I'm delighted for him. He's earned it.

Hamilton may yet be crowned World Champion. The Race Stewards are investigating 'fuel irregularities' in the stuff used by the BMW cars

Only a small infrigment, like using too many tyres or apparently having another manufacturers car and tatical plans*. Justice done with a Kimi win rather than either of the McClarens. Ferrari should never have settled with that result and should resurrect it if McClaren appeal too far.
*Edit - I forgot about stupid driving causing other cars to crash out in terrible conditions.

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
