Seems like you hate two of F1 's finest Adam , Phillipe is a( has been) unfortunately mainly due to his accident and the years following as Raikenen no 2 Ferrari Driver , Alonso was as he was at Mclaren because he is one of the best and felt he shouldn't have to play 2nd fiddle to the immature british white hope, and he was proven right , its taken 2 years for Hamilton to attain a modicom of maturity , even now he still gets the red mist whereas , Jenson has always shown maturity beyond his years , probably the smoothest of all F1 drivers and certainly the No1 at preserving tyres,

I think since the departing of Ron Dennis Hamilton has only proved to be approaching average ,with his media coverage now falling away he can now get on with achieving his goals

Ive always felt and voiced since the very begining of this season , that it was orchestrated for Webber to achieve the world title, truly a great driver ,truly one of the unluckiest great drivers and One of the nicest guys in F1 , on all the right committees and all way strived to improve things for all the drivers , I wont be disappointed if he wins it , he would be a gracious deserver of the title ,

Realistically its been Webbers to lose for the last 3 races , but ive a sneaky feeling once again he's going to be robbed , and will retire with the graciousness that he embraced formula one with from the very beginning , Current engine regulations/penalties will play their part in the next two races and i can see Alonso achieving Victory amid controversy or possibly Vettel neither my personal choice tho Bodes for an interesting few weeks

I think Hamilton has always been quite mature, so has button, i just dont like him, never rated him and he never stops whining about tyres, was never a Raikkonen fan either, such a miserable sod.

To be honest, deep down i am a Schumacher and Senna fan, know one else comes close to those guys. Schumacher has had a tough season but he reckons the car is improving, i hope next year, he wins it.

yeah i agree what you both say but the physical demands the drivers had in later years i think are the better drivers, i mean o.k Fangio won 5 world titles in a car that doesn't do steering and braking very well, but the competition is closer in the later years rather than the early years, but you could argue for against for the fangio or prost era.

For sure Andy he'll keep them honest and on their toes , but what we do know , is that all the Data suggests that the Redbulls and Ferrari engines are due to expire or reach their rev limit sometime during tomorrows race , either scennario makes for a blistering watch tomorrow

Interestingly , watching Alonso's post interview , it was eveident his trepidation regarding tomorrows outcome , Alonso , Vettel and Webber know that sometime during tomorrrow its most likely they will have engine failure, they will all be in engine management mode mentally , very draining i should imagine . Alonso and Ferrari are the mastesr where this is concerned , so i wont be surprised if he doesn't have engins failure to see Alonso take the championship by tomorrow evening , definately a tantalising watch
