As far as history of F1 in general, nothing but WDC matters. But in terms of looking at a specific driver I would say getting 2nd or 3rd does matter in off years. As for who will win I'll be with Hamilton 'til the end, but Alonso has the points and Red Bull has the pace. If Hamilton ends up in P3 or higher with alonso P4 or below, we will see a internal Red Bull fight. No doubt in my mind.

One other note, RBR has set themselves up pretty cleanly regarding team orders by putting it on the drivers to make the decision. You can bet there will be some radio chat 2-3 laps before the end about grid position and possible outcome.
Whether it will get aired or not is another story.

But to answer the OP's question, if MW was let pass from 3rd to 2nd (from LH, for instance) to win the WDC over SV, then yes, that'd be an illegitimate WDC title indeed. My guess is SV would NOT let anybody pass, and that's just the way it should be. It's not selfish or anything. It's freaking racing. Nobody should let anybody pass, period. Everything is rigged nowadays; why can't racing stay pure? Last edited by JCtx; 11-10-2010 at 12:07 AM.. |

Formula 1 never was, and never has been, about who deserves to win or which WDC was more 'fairly won' than the other. Ultimately, the driver and team which use the best tactics, have the quickest and most reliable car, and have the quickest and most reliable driver, will have the edge. If Red Bull lose the WDC (and yes, it really was theirs to lose this year), no one will remember them for their 'fair' tactics or impartial team attitude. People will only remember the WDC winner, and vaguely remember who the other major competitors were. To put things into context: how many people remember the runner-up in 2002? How many people remember that highest ranked non-Ferrari driver was Montoya? In my mind, Red Bull are making a grave mistake by not prioritizing drivers. |

Lets see what happens next Sunday. Just because Horner said there won't be a Team Order to force it, doesn't mean it won't happen. Saying that your drivers have the team's best interest in mind is almost just as good as a team order. Just more politically correct.

Hamilton won the WDC in 2008. I don't see how your point is in any way relevant to mine since mine was under the pretense that Hamilton was no longer in contention for the title this year. Please re-read my post.

Anyway, seems like it depends on character how people vote on this controversial issue . Just like oil discussions, nobody is going to win. Let's see what the hell happens in a few days . Take care man. Last edited by JCtx; 11-10-2010 at 12:35 AM.. |

Apparently he thinks there is some voting process or something.
