This year is really the championship that McLaren and Kimi should have won. The car has been the fastest for most of the season however reliability and the occassional bit of luck has let them down. With JPM being punted twice in 3 races, Kimi having tyre problems and the Mercedes engine failing regularly, particularly in the first half of the season, this should have been their year.

if you like spread betting you can make a bet with odds of 4/1 that button will finish the season in 6th, ahead of barrichello... considering the end of season he's been having, i dont think 5 points will be too hard for him to make up.
if you wanna take the bet go to bethilo.com... and do me a favor and say i refered you

my account is SIF22 -maybe ill get some referal bonus

Exactly, Im a Huge Renualt/Alonso Fan and without being biased, Alonso derseves to win the Championship, He was awesome winning three races in a row and has been in the points all the time even though The McLaren's are faster, Its not Alonso's fault that the McLaren's have been having Engine blowouts, Tyre Problems etc etc, The Renualt has been top notch. Go You Good Things.

No denying that Renault and Alonso has had the car for the season. That's what you need to win theWDC. Half a season of results will not be enough as shown by McLaren.

Ross Brawn has just been reported as saying "it is not just the tyres that have affected Ferrari's performance this year. There have been some chassis and aero issues as well. We have not improved on last years car, and some teams might have caught up to the benchmark we set last year".
MIGHT ????

I think it is a matter for Michael and Ross to discuss, don't you?
I , because of a number of years of watching many classes of motor sport with and without control tyres, prefer the closeness of racing I have observed with a control tyre. That, JV is my perogative
