    A couple questions to the forum... Do you think it is possible that any of the other drivers will assist any of the two title contenders in the decider? Which one of the drivers do you think is likely to get "help"... and, why do you think so?

    Yeah, after hearing Adrian Sutil had pledged allegiance to his fellow German Nico Rosberg to get LH back for not showing up at his court case, Lewis got right onto the case and paid for Timo Glock to come into the spare Caterham seat

    But Timo said no, so he got the next best thing....

    "Agent" Max Chilton.

    In other words... No. Think everyone will stay out their way unless they are racing them directly.

    Hmm... Interesting questions and I'd have to think about them but, assuming you've already considered the possibility, who do you think?

    Rubens is becoming a bit of a parody/sad tribute act to himself.

    Your career is over and was years ago, let it go man.

    The Mercs are so much quicker than anything else, that as long as they don't get tagged in the first corner, then no one is seeing them again for the rest of the race, until they come to lap them.
    So, in short, no...

    Nobody is going to tag anybody. Else we will have a Schumacher style court case on our hands

    I don't think anybody other than Button (assuming it is his last race) or Barrichello (assuming he is racing) or maybe Vergne are capable of causing an incident to favour one of the drivers, as the majority are looking out for their career.

    I think the internet would break if Button accidentally clipped Rosberg whilst being lapped. Lot's of conspiracies there to reel out.

    Will Stevens to drive for Caterham
    Having announced Kamui Kobayashi as one of the drivers for the Abu Dhabi weekend, Caterham are still thin lipped about who their other driver is.


    TJ13 reveal that Will Stevens is certain to get a drive, though at present this is expected to be limited to Friday practice – and Max Chilton is expected to run there car from thereon.


    Due to the factory closure following the Russian GP, the cars are both short of spare parts and have components which have run their ‘safe’ mileage.

    Imagine if Vettel botched on overtake on Hamilton and took him out, allowing his German counterpart to go on and win the title?

    Nevermind the internet breaking, it would create a blackhole that the whole of existence would be sucked into.

    It is very possible, there would nothing to prove or disprove his intentions or any other driver for that matter. Look at Monaco qualifying and Spa (initial laps) for that matter (or even Brazil 2008/ Adelaide 1994). I hope it doesn't get to this stage though.

    On a lighter note, very good to see Caterham back.

    It may have blown over by then, then again 1994 still has the potential to disrupt the space time continuum, and that was 20 years ago!

    So what you're saying is that DHill will come out of retirement to drive the Caterham and take Rosberg out?

    I could believe that. Caterham have been taken over by SkySportsF1. Herbert will fill the other seat.

    They have 1 goal. Rosberg must not win the WDC
