With only 4 rounds left the Title battle is closer than ever with only one point seperating Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa. With a bit of luck and the poor showing of both Massa and Hamilton in the second half of the Italian race, everyone's favourite Pole has hoisted himself up into an outside shot of the World Drivers Championship.
As things currently stand.
Code:
Lewis Hamilton 78
Felipe Massa 77
Robert Kubica 64
However 3 of the next 4 races could potentially be rain affected, is this the most "rain race" season we have had? With Singapore potentially being wet [although its still a good two weeks away], Japan was a deluge last year and being located near the mountains is a possibility and Shanghai has been wet the past two years.
Brazil hasnt been wet since 2003 and who would bet against Massa there anyway?
With regards to the constructors title Mclaren closed up on Ferrari again as Kimi Raikkonen failed to score for the third race in succession and reliability problems for Ferrari have meant they havent had both drivers score since Hockenheim in July. A string of podiums and consistency for BMW have hoisted them back up with an outside chance of the title.
Code:
Ferrari 134
Mclaren 129
BMW Sauber 117
If it remains dry surely Massa/Ferrari are favourites for the title? Mclaren have never won at Shanghai and havent won in Brazil since the MP4-20 days of 2005. However if it's wet who would bet against Lewis Hamilton?
With regards to the constructors i feel Mclaren will get it. Raikkonen still hasnt seem to cure his tyre issues and if it rains it only makes the problem worse. And a point scoring Finn in a silver car trumphs a no/little scoring Finn in a Red one as i expect Massa/Hamilton to be close.
I've left the poll open till Singapore Qualifying.
