    All Hamilton needs to do is win the next 3 in a row while Alonso and Vettel fail to score... peice of cake! :p

    That would still need to go to count back, which I'm not sure Hamilton would win :(

    Some might say that this is predictable, but I really want to win the predictions league!

    Vettel says I!

    He'd take it on wins. :)

    Edit: Either I'm living in hope or cloud cuckoo land. Not sure which... but the pink hippos are AWESOME!

    Yeah it is mathematically possible for Hamilton to win the championship, if he wins all 3 races while Vettel (and Alonso) fail to score he will win the championship on countback having 6 wins to Vettels 5.

    However if Vettel scores a single point in the last 3 races he puts Hamilton mathematically out.

    The words "long" and "shot" somehow suggest themselves.

    I've got more chance of being able to hit my house with a peanut from the office window... roughly 35 miles away.

    My only hope is that becoming the youngest ever triple WDC causes Vettel's head to explode like a 'Scanner' due to extreme ego overload.

    I've plumped for Alonso to win. I backed him to win the title at the start of the season, i'm sticking by that prediction. Ferrari will probably have updates on the car too.

    Boooo, I wanted a close finish to the season, doesn't look like it now!

    Thinking out aloud.. but would it be feesiable for F1 look at what horse racing does and add a weight penalty to better cars?
    For example, start the year at Melborne, no one has a weight pen, however for the second race, the car/driver that wins previous race needs to carry 25KGs extra (1KG per point) so 10th place would have to carry an extra KG.

    Can't see beyond a Vettel win at Abu Dhabi...

    Some forms of Motorsport already do this or have done so in the past. Can't say I'm a fan of artificially leveling the grid that way. Every event would result in "<insert driver name> would have won if <insert driver name> wasn't carrying 2 bags of cement".

    Imagine the conspiracy theories. "Incompetent Team Boss A added an extra bag of cement to Unloved Driver B because he prefers Much Loved Driver A!"
