Rooting for Kimi more and more. I'll laugh hard If he manages to pull this off and rob the championship by mere consistency, as he almost did in 2003. Or even better, without winning a single race


That would be pretty immense :lol:

and what does he think of that idea...?

"If we end up winning it will be great. But whoever has the most points at the end of the year deserves to win the championship. If that happens it’s a good thing for us, but if it comes with a win or without I don’t care"

I tried to build scenario for Kimi to win the title while not winning any of the remaining races. Don't take this too seriously, but here it goes.

Singapore
Button wins, Räikkönen 2nd, Vettel 3rd, Webber 4th. Alonso and Hamilton collide and DNF
Japan
Vettel leads RBR 1-2, Alonso 3rd, Kimi 4th and Lewis 5th.
Korea
Hamilton wins, Kimi 2nd, Grosjean 3rd, Alonso 4th, Vettel 5th and Webber 6th.
India
Webber wins, Hamilton 2nd, Räikkönen 3rd, Alonso 4th. Vettel's car fails again, DNF.

* At this point, Alonso has 218, Räikkönen 204, Hamilton and Webber 195, Vettel 190 points.

Abu Dhabi
Hamilton wins, Räikkönen 2nd, Alonso 3rd and Vettel 4th. Webber DNF.
USA
Perez wins, Räikkönen 2nd, Vettel 3rd, Hamilton 4th, Webber 5th and Alonso 6th.

Going to Brazil, four drivers with a chance: Alonso 241, Räikkönen 240, Hamilton 232 and almost outsider Vettel 217.

Hamilton winning with Räikkönen 2nd would bring Kimi a title.

It took nearly a minute from director to find Glock's car, and after that they didn't even cut to it.

Coverage is terrible. GP2 was also pretty awful

Waitaminute...

Alonso is slower than Hamilton in all 3 sectors according to live timing and yet sets a faster lap time? What?

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Vettel nearly ran over some photographers at the pit entry.

Video/audio also seems more out than usual from the onboard cameras.

I think he might get in trouble for that, not entering the pits correctly.

The way that the FIA were showing shots of them before the incident makes me wonder if they asked Vettel to scare them.
