Webber Alonso crash. Vettel WDC. Believe.

The Ferrari fans are already awful now. I'm getting bothered by a friend sending text messages how Alonso is going to be the champ and that Hamilton is a whiny fuck for saying to the team they should tell when someone on a fast lap is coming through.
Ugh, I am hoping so hard for a freak result tomorrow or at the very least an Alonso crap-out so I can return the favour. I had no trouble with Alonso taking the WDC (as he was the best driver in the second half of the season), now I do. :lol

Alonso may have been the best driver of the 2nd half of the season, no doubt, but it is not a half season championship. If he wins I will be okay with that, I wonder how RDR will feel knowing they could have had a WDC, I would love Weber to win of course.
To do what with?S. L. said:

3rd WDC is almost done.
Brilliant lap, the grid is perfect for tommorrow.

All 4 title contenders tomorrow will look back on the season and honestly say "I should have won the title".
Vettel - I had too many engine and car issues.
Webber - I made 2 mistakes in Valencia and Korea and lost the title.
Alonso - Too many so-so performances in mid-season.
Hamilton - 2 car DNFs and 2 mistakes cost me the title.

Vet - performing better as the season closes
Webber - getting worse as the season closes(CHOKE)
Alonso - same as Vet
Ham - kinda between Alo/Vet and Web. Hasn't choked but was at the wrong place and wrong time a few times the last few races

He may not be the fastest on the time sheets but he's getting the maximum with what he has and putting himself in the best position he can.
Nightmare scenario at Red Bull. Hamilton knows all he has to do is win and let whatever happens to the others happen. Vettel has to at least go for the win and Webber has a fast JB and Alonso and Massa to contend with around him.

Unfortunately it really looks like Webber qualified himself out of the Championship today, and especially with the McLarens in the mix, it can't see him turning it around tomorrow. The race will likely settle into an early stalemate that hands Alonso the title.
I've spent the whole year rooting for Webber, Button and well, pretty much anyone but Alonso. But you know what, after the last few races, I can't help but concede that if he gets the job tomorrow, he bloody deserves it.

Fuck, reading reports on other forums and this one, I though Webber may have had an accident or something, shit :lol
It's bad, but it's not THAT bad. If it was any other driver in the same position (Hammy, Nando) you'd say that they'd be in with a chance at snatching victory, but not Webber. Just not aggressive enough. He needs to Kobayashi tomorrow and just go for broke. If he can somehow get into the top 3 then he has a shot, but that's gonna require a fuckload of luck. Maybe Hammy and Alonso will take each other out? Webber can take Hamilton, Webber finishes second... but even though it would be equal points, Vettel would have him on race wins. Fuck.
Talk about clutching at straws :lol

No penalty for Hamilton.

Yeah, and in the last lap Vettel's engine dies and Lewis wins WDC. :lolS. L. said:i predict a crude overtaking attempt from Webber on Alonso as he has to get to the front at all cost, which will take them both out.
Then lots of Vettel Finger
Also tomorrow better be our Haturday!
Jenson could play big role tommorow, if he overtakes Alonso right at the beginning of the race.
I only just saw this post... exactly what happened? Were they just overjoyed that they had another pole?NHale said:
Seriously, if Mark gets a whiff of similar treatment next year, he should fucking walk. If they admitted Webber was #2 and still backed him, fine. But to so ardently say they're backing both drivers equally and behave in the manner they have over the whole season is just bullshit.
Maybe with all his shit starts, he's saving his one good one for this race, manages to take EVERYONE by the first corner and goes on to win... but the race is past my bedtime so I'll just dream that's what happens and stick with it :lol
i'm guessing the Vettel mechanics celebrated. they are pretty much two separate teams. but dunno /shrugShaneus said:
Webber should go after this season. i don't see much point in keeping him at RBR. internally Vettel is clearly the number one and is faster than Webber as well. As a support driver Webber is useless as he is insanely stubborn and they hate each others guts.

At the start of last season I was hoping Fernando and Kimi could somehow end up as teammates
F1 needs the Iceman back.

Well he does drive Rally cars for Red Bull.
Maybe if Webber leaves they can bring Kimi to partner with Vettel. If they do and the RB car is as good as this year's car then I expect Kimi to stomp all over Vettel and have another 1988, 2002, 2004 type of domination by 1 team.

after 2 years out of F1? I highly doubt it.
Redbull could've got him in 2011 but they didn't.

He was paid quite a lot by Ferrari to not race in 2010, he might have lowered his salary demands for this year. But he has been doing well in the WRC and he doesn't sound like he wants to go back to f1 in the near future. Would he be the first F1 and WRC Champion if he manages to win the WRC championship?
I hope Hammy is going balls-out tomorrow. I want him to put in a drive for the ages. I hope Webber bones Alonso and takes both of themselves out. I don't care if Vettel wins the WDC, just not Alonso. I'd much prefer Webber won it all though, since I thought he deserved it. But it looks like RBR was willing to hand this one to Alonso. I really don't like how they handled this at all. PEACE.

Alonso said he's not even thinking about the championship. Maybe he won't even turn up and will just go on that roller coaster again instead.
Although I'd like to see Kubica in a good car as well, it seems that teams with two top drivers always seem to have trouble. Hamilton/Alonso, Senna/Prost, Mansell/Piquet and now Webber/Vettel. I don't know if Raikonnen and Massa would count as an exception to this, as on the years when each of them won or came close, the other was pretty well out of it.

If Lewis performs a miracle and wins the WDC I think I will cry with happiness.
I think Lewis will win the race, he is gonna do a do a die move and pass vettel, basically he is gonna hand the WDC to Alonso.
