Re: Who should win the title this year? why or why not?

I read the "Alonso doesn't deserve" comments as referring to the team orders in Germany.

If Alonso does win WDC, it will be down to RB throwing it away. He's been lucky to get that opportunity from RB because the WDC would be over by now if Ferrari were in the same position as RB. However it is hard work by Ferari and his own talent that got him into the position to receive the gift.

I think the problem is, if we have a similar podium like during the race (1-2-3 Seb-Mark-Fernando) then Fernando would have 261 points (if you take away 7, 254) while the Red Bull boys would have 256 apiece. 256 is less than 261, but more than 254.

To clarify raymond's comment - Alonso would only have 254 if the German team orders had been reversed by the WMSC.

Looking at the topic I was guessing (rightly) that some cool-headed fella will say "the one with the most points at the end deserves it".

Like we don't know :)

Anyway, in terms of ability I think we've seen why Ferrari has signed Alonso in such a desperate manner. He has delivered (albeit with obvious biased support from the team over poor Felipe) and with a somewhat inferior machine is currently leading the championship. I think my "logical" vote goes to Alonso.

Emotionally, though, I don't like this guy and I don't want to see him win! :D :D

That said, I don't think anyone else "deserves" the title this year, honestly speaking. Personally I'd prefer Mark taking it but my gut feeling is that he is somehow not destined to be a WDC. Just like Massa.

If there ever was a reason to root for Webber, here it is!

^ It is quite obvious for anyone to see that Vettel was being interviewed. And yet, it is naughty for Webber to disrupt him. Perhaps, he tried to give Vettel a reminder that he should be the one going for the WDC.

He is and the only people who are saying that are those who would not want to see him win a 3rd WDC.

I think you read too much into it. They just won the WCC and they're celebrating. Webber is a goofball with a fire extinguisher. So what?

Been a while since the championship was won at the last race with a genuine race victory, no? I only remember Kimi, and I believe Massa understood that Kimi was faster than him :mrgreen:
