Everyone else retires, Ricciardo wins all the races to win by virtue of more race wins. You heard it here first
Never ever discount Raikkonen, not least after 2007 where we had an almost identical scenario albeit with Lewis and Alonso closer together, nor Vettel.
He just doesn't have the team's backing, I wouldn't be surprised if he looked for a move away. It's quite obvious HRT favour de la Rosa just because he's Spanish, ignoring Karthikeyan's vast talent. It's Alonso/Hamilton all over again
I think it could go down to the wire! Kimi just keeps picking up points, similar to Alonso in that respect. I can't see Hamilton being consistent enough, but it would be interesting to see
Yes, this season is just so unpredictable anything can happen but Lewis and Fernando are in the poundseats.
This is my dream too but when I wake up I realise that this is Alonso's year, most likely anyway. Given his consistency, I doubt that he will be overtaken.
i think lewis has been very consistent,but very unlucky. last week was his only real mistake this season,in regards to set up choice. but he's won 2 of the last 3 races,so he has a strong chance if he can continue that form without any more dnf's. but more than likely alonso will win his 3rd championship this year.
It doesn't feel like he's going to take it to me... I don't know why. Maybe if everything wasn't so up in the air regarding where he will be next season he might be able to pull it off. I just don't see it. His body language getting out of the car after the win, and almost avoiding going to see his crew makes me think it's already decided that he's not there next season.
He would be crazy to go to Mercedes. And Alonso's got this giftwrapped with a pretty bow on top, straight from a guy known simply as "The Toad."
I really think he wants to stay but the Fuller Corporation are going to make him move - for money, of course. Edit: I suspect he's had a hard time from Ron too and that would probably hurt.
