I voted for Massa cause even if rains in the following races I don't thing Hamilton will finish all of them, even starting from the pole. Some other drivers may "play hard" with him, if you know what I mean.
Kubica only has a chance if BMW perfomance would be the same as it looked in dry for Monza, but that's not likely, Monza is a very particular track.

Massa or Lewis, doesn't really matter to me as i like them both. If Massa wins i do hope it's with more then 4 points difference...

Raikkonen is 21 points off Hamilton. Last season he needed a bucketload of luck to claim the title. This season hes going to need even more. He needs Massa/Kubica AND Hamilton to all falter in two races and him to win both to even hoist himself back on level terms let alone win it.
Raikkonen simply put doesnt have a chance.

Lewis lost four points, Felipe gained two. Therefore, it was a six point swing.

I know the facts. But I'm just saying that you can't eliminate him from the title chase yet. I'm quite sure that we know the answer to his title hopes sooner than to other drivers that are still in.

Like others i hope Massa to win ..but i m afraid of Ferrari's reliability is not good enough or as strong as Mclaren.Already Ferrari & Massa made so many mistakes this year ..any more would be unforgiving.

I dont think anyone has stood out this year, so theres no default choice. I'm not a Massa fan, but at this time I would prefer him to win over Hamilton; simply because of Hamiltons' careless driving over the year (mostly in the last GP).

And furthermore its Hamiltons' stuck up comments that make me dislike him. Take this article today for example:
crash.net wrote:
Formula 1 » Hamilton: I deserve to win 2008 F1 title.
Tuesday, 16th September 2008

McLaren-Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton stresses his conviction that he 'morally deserves' to win the 2008 F1 World Championship - and that victory in the Belgian Grand Prix was his, not Ferrari rival Felipe Massa's.

Lewis Hamilton has stated his belief that he ‘morally deserves' to win the 2008 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship – as Bernie Ecclestone has similarly backed the British star to lift the laurels at season's end.

Hamilton now holds just a slender one-point advantage over Ferrari rival Felipe Massa in the standings following the Italian Grand Prix at the weekend – pending his Spa-Francorchamps appeal – and, in the wake of criticism from a number of his rivals over what they deemed to be his robust driving standards at Monza [see separate story – click here], has vowed to push harder than ever over the final four races of the campaign.

“I'm a fighting force,” the 23-year-old is quoted as having asserted by British newspaper The Sun. “I'll continue to prove that there's nothing that can put me off or bring me down.

“I've showed I'm more mature this year. I'm focusing on keeping myself in shape and not letting anything distract me. I am not messing around doing stupid things, just keeping myself nice and quiet and doing everything right.

“Morally, I think I deserve the title and I'll do everything in my power to win it. There are four races left and they are all long hauls which I love. I'll be ready.”

See comments from the article here:

It would be the greatest thing ever if Kubica won it, but thats very unlikely to happen. Therefore I hope Lewis wins it, and I think he will. I dont have faith in Massa to hold his nerve when things get serious. He doesnt have experience of situations like that and I think experience is an important factor in battling for a championship when its so close. Lewis can draw on what happened last year. Anyway, its about time GB has another F1 champion :D

I'm pretty certain Massa will win it.

A champion who I don't even consider to be amongst the top 5 current F1 drivers :(

Raikkon
: *cringe* the Sun really do make Lewis sound even more of an annoying git, or are those really his words? lol Why McLaren don't make him stfu is beyond me, he's doing the same as last year, digging himself a great big hole. How many more times does he want to be humbled after boasting off like that? Laughs at his dad for crashing, does the same in Canada the following weekend, chats shit about no one overtaking him on the outside and Kimi goes and does just that on the run to La Source at Spa, brags about being 'great' in the wet and does the shittiest qualy of his F1 career. To top it off, he pulls some dirty racing manners and was more worried about his car being damaged rather than acknowledging he nearly put Glock's and Webber's car in a 'disastrous' position. Sure, I respect his talent and his competitiveness but my word, the guy's a total prick.

I wasn't going to bother but thank you for sticking up for Raikko :thumbsup: Kim does have a chance even though it doesn't look possible at all but hey, he's Kimi Raikkonen, if anyone can pull it off it's him :P

I am both Massa and Hamilton fan, but ATM I want Massa to win the championship, as this might be he only change. I see Hamilton winning it a phew times in the upcoming years so I would love too see Massa this year first.

I REALLY hope Hamilton wins, but because I want him to win and the run of bad luck he has had recently, Massa is bound to win. Bloody Brits luck!

I wonder what the odds of the championship actually being confirmed on Sunday 2nd November actually are, after last year's never ending farce

If Vettel and Toro Rosso can win a race then Kubica can win the title. But I'm pulling for Lewis as I don't like ferrari

I wish Massa, but I think Hamilton will get it.
He can't blew his lead 2 years in a row, and Massa doesn't got nerves to be WC. Raikkonen not helping him yet is not a point in favor of Felipe.

My point to Lewis.
