China woes
So Hamilton kinda threw away his chance at the title for China. It’s not all over though, we have Brazil to go. Apparently it’s the first time since the 80’s that three people have been in contention in the last race - it’s ashame that Hamilton didn’t finish the last race he could have knocked Kimi out and made Alonso need a win and him to not finish.
It has been an up and down season for all the main contenders apart from Hamilton really, of all of them he has seemed to perform consistantly. It feels to me that the relative performance to Alonso has depended more on Alonso than on Hamilton. And Ferrari have been all over the place. I think that the last race is going to be good provided that nothing strange happens, it’d be great to see Hamilton walk away with the title this year - but he’s the youngest of the three and he’s got a long way to go yet - after all it took Schumacher a few years! All I can say is that if Hamilton doesn’t get it - please don’t let Alonso get it either, he has been an interesting character this year and it’s hard to fathom some of the things that he’s done. In some ways he needs a break to let people get used to him again!
Button got fifth in China which was the best result of the year for him - how bad is that. He has however driven brilliantly all year and yet not attracted nearly as much attention as some of the other drivers, Sutil has shown flashes of brilliance too but not often enough really. Where were my predictions… rather off I’m afraid!
Anyway fingers crossed!
Good Hunting
Shame he didn’t win it at China.
Been looking at all the possibilites of where he can/has to finish, and was really surprised that Kimi (and Alonso?) have more wins than him.
It will be more interesting next year when they bring back a 4 point difference between 1st and 2nd.
