    Nice stat collection and presentation there, +1 rep. Good correlation, but does it prove causation?
    Hope you are right. What can possibly happen in India, no rain forcasted.. but two DRS points may work out to be fair.

    Just need Vettel and Alonso to crash in fp3 and miss qualifying and then we can watch them race to the front :D

    I quite like this circuit as far as new one goes, but as the cars are becoming more settled the races are becoming more predictable. The general trend for the season is that the races are getting worst :(

    Yeah can't see it getting any more unpredictable like Maldonado winning, Schumacher pole etc...

    So a Vettel pole and win, unless as you said something happens in practice, yeah the teams are all sitting into order now, even though it is a bit late.
    This is F1, and anything is possible though, remember that haha.

    I'd love a dominant win for Raikkonen, Vettel and Alonso scoring little, just so the title narrows again. Failing that, a good race'd be nice.

    Welcome to 2013, stable regs tend to mean predictability. Fingers crossed I'm wrong though.

    Don't listen to him. He's going the reverse psychology BS route.

    Vettle all the way, but I have gone for Button - just have a gut feeling! Would like to see Kimi second with Alonso 3rd!

    I'm hoping Alonso and Ferrari can continue to fight back and maybe make an improvement this weekend. Alonso needs to match or beat Vettel from here on out which is going to be a tough task as Vettel is looking like his old unstoppable self at the moment. I've got my hopes up, but I won't be surprised if its Vettel who sweeps it again.

    It doesn't make a whole load of difference to me who takes the title between the two but I think if I had the choice I'd take Alonso simply because 3 in a row for Vettel could start making things seem a little dull, especially after the dominant form of last season.

    If Alonso misses out on this one, i'll certainly feel sorry for his fans... I'd be gutted.

    lol... Did he eat the last custard cream or something? :p

    I've just accepted another season of misery and am now numb to the whole thing... and bracing myself for many more years of it to come. Somebody hold me! :(

    I'd be disappointed for sure. If Vettel wins the title he will have deserved it in the end, but that doesn't mean I want him to win over Alonso. We'll just have to see how these last few races pan out. I don't have my hopes up to high, but still, I hope Alonso takes it
