Red Bull are Constructors Champions

Past results:
2009 Winner - Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull)
2009 Pole - Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)

Last race for Bridgestone

There are dozens of calculations but these will do for starters....

Fernando Alonso will be world champion if:
- He wins the race or finishes 2nd
- He finishes 3rd with Webber not winning

Mark Webber will be world champion if:
- He wins and Alonso fails to finish 2nd
- He finishes 2nd but Vettel fails to win and Alonso is 6th or lower
- He finishes 3rd, Vettel doesn't win, Alonso is 7th or lower

I'll post when I find them

According to Wikipedia, so it must be true.....!!!!


Fernando Alonso will become World Champion for a third time if:

* he is 1st or 2nd
* he is 3rd or 4th AND Webber is 2nd or lower
* he is 5th, AND Webber and Vettel fail to win the race
* he is 6th, AND Webber is 3rd or lower, AND Vettel fails to win
* he is 7th or 8th, AND Vettel fails to win and Webber fails to make the podium
* he is 9th, AND Webber is 5th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower.
* he is 10th, AND Webber is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower.
* he fails to score a point, but Webber is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower, AND Hamilton fails to win

Mark Webber will win his first World Championship if:

* he wins, AND Alonso is 3rd or lower.
* he is 2nd, AND Alonso is 6th or lower, AND Vettel fails to win.
* he is 3rd, AND Alonso is 7th or lower, AND Vettel fails to win
* he is 4th, AND Alonso is 9th or lower, AND Vettel fails to win.
* he is 5th, AND Alonso is 10th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower.

Sebastian Vettel will become the youngest World Champion in history if:

* he wins, AND Alonso is 5th or lower.
* he is 2nd, AND Alonso is 9th or lower, AND Webber is 5th or lower.

Lewis Hamilton will claim his second World Championship if:

* he wins, AND Alonso fails to score a point, AND Webber is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower.

so the long & short of it is we need Vettel & Alonso to punt each other off big style, Webber to avoid all attempts to fly, backflip, pirouette, rub shoulders with his mates while still in his car & anything else that could mean he won't finish the race, & someone needs to have their eyes trained on Mr Horner at all times

FP3

and i'm loving the conspiracy theories being thought up by David Croft. He should really do the main commentary wiv Martin Brundle.

Massa underfuelled to speed thru the pack get to front and hold up the RB's and Lewis...then suddenly run out of fuel!

quality. or he can even whilst running out of fuel "accidentally" take out Vettel and Webbder!

Race should be fun tomorrow!

[Chungster]

oh dear. Has Webber lost the bottle. Vettel may still win the championship. Maybe it might depends on Webber getting infront of Alonso!! what a turnaround that would be when its all been about Vettel helping Webber.

Congrats to Seb but I really really really feel for Mark, he deserved that title so much & i'm sorry but I feel that Mr Horner should have grown a pair & told Vettle to suck it up & wind his neck in & support his team mate to secure the drivers title well before now.

Well done to Vettel.

Surprised to see Webber drop the ball. I expected him to be all over the back of Alonso while he was stuck behind Petrov but he just couldn't do it.

Alonso was wrong to have a go at Petrov at the end too. He's racing for position, he doesn't have to jump out the way. It wouldn't be much of a title race if he did!

Just glad that moaner didn't win it

Alonso your world championship dreams are over, can you confirm you understand this message?

[trix]

lol
Alonso is looking a bit puffy round the face now I think it will be a lie down in a darkened room with face pack & cool eye mask for him tonight, perhaps while chanting expletives...

eta: um wasn't it 'We are the Champions' that was played in the Brawn garage last year when Button one the championship? copycats
