Going into the final round of the championship, 13 points is the difference between Vettel and Alonso, the former holding the advantage.

You would have to say, on pace, that Vettel is favourite to clinch the championship. However, will reliability cost him? Or might there be external factors like weather affecting the outcome?

Alonso is the most consistent, reliable package, but cannot challenge the red bull on pace. However, it has always gone well around Sao Paulo.

Who do you think will be champion on Sunday? Whatever the outcome, a triple champion will emerge at the end of the race.

It'll be like 1983, Prost had all the pace but his car blew up and Piquet stole it.

I hope Alonso but think Vettel.

Let's hope at least that it will be exciting.

I couldn't care less who gets it, as long as there's a good fight for it. Vettel is in the best position to win.

Unfortunately, because Alonso screwed up like a dipshit at Suzuka, we will not get the championship decided on a direct on-track battle between the two.

I hope Vettel wins it because I have a bet on him. And I think with his current point advantage and current form he should be favourite. But then there's this little niggling doubt about reliability...

I think it will be Vettel. If the car doesn't fail him he can pretty much cruise home. Alonso must win and Vettel will likely be able to finish at least 3th.

Just hoping nobody does anything stupid like Massa taking out Vettel....

I think Vettel will win when the Car holds on!

But the Weather could be a Factor here and the Forecast says Rain for Sunday till now.

Lets just see what happens

Bad weather shouldn't be a problem for Vettel. Vettel is above average when it rains.
A dry race might suit them better though, because when it's dry the Red Bull will have more bennefit because of it's good aerodynamics and acceleration.

I agree. Vettel will have no problem with the rain but of course it does increase the chance of incidents.

I think that if you'll ask Vettel he will prefer a dry race.

The Ladbrokes odds are interesting. Vettel is 1/6 and Alonso is 4/1. I think Vettel will win but I'm tempted to put 50 pence on Alonso.

Poll needs a third option of "Don't mind / care".

I voted Vettel but I'm not bothered, I'd just like to see a thrilling conclusion to the season.

I don't think the poll is "who do you WANT to win" but "who do you THINK will win"

answering with Don't mind is rather strange then ;)

Precisely. "Who do you think will win?"

...I don't care... ;)

Then you shouldn't vote because you don't care about the question.

Or something like that, I don't know. :beard:

DC always said it was going to be his year, perhaps it's 2012.

I would prefer more Alonso, but I'd be happy either way, just as long as Massa or Webber doesn't turf someone off deliberately to get the result.

I put money on Massa to win here about 2 months back, so that's what I want.

Oh for goodness sake, how difficult does it need to be to make a suggestion about a poll? I'm pretty sure I made my feelings and thoughts clear in my original post...

I think Vettel will win. But I rather see Alonso winning it.
