Pulling for Rubbens

That's it, title over, unless something disastrous happens at Brazil, then the constructor title and championship title are going to Brawn & Button.

Looks like it, but everyone thought that in 2007, Hamilton's 17 point lead with two races left got wiped by Raikkonen, so Button's 16 point lead could easily go - but with Brawn's reliability, it looks very likely that Button will be champion.

Although, Brawn will 100% get the constructors, the chances of both Brawn's not scoring any points in the second race is slim, and even then both Red Bulls have to come 1st and 2nd in both races.

Hamilton

ah, i love hamilton, he never gave in. even when he was getting slated, and the whole mclaren spygate scandal, it really did hurt him and the team, but he carried on, like business as usual.

button deserves it this year tho imo, he has NEVER had any luck throughout his career, so im glad hes getting it now. he's always been the 'next best thing' and bigged up by the media, now hopefully it's his time to shine.

Button finished 3rd in the Championship in 2004, so he's not exactly been the most unluckiest driver ever But it would be nice to see another Brit win it Although Barrichello deserves it more.

Home GP pole & win for Rubie please, and Vettel and Button can DNF for all I care. Button's got years left, Rubie needs to win the WDC and retire happy.

I agree, Rubie is getting quite old now.

I agree, but he won't win the title, come on Button!

With rain the race is going to be unpredictable, could be some interesting strategies with safety cars etc. Considering Sutil's fuel load and his skill in the Wet I think he'll win today (hopefully anyways ) but it's a difficult one to call.

As for the championship, if Button scores badly today and Barrichello does well. Button will presumably do crap in Abu Dhabi seeing as he's buckled under the pressure for about the past five races I see no reason why he wouldn't do it again. And then Barrichello could quite easily get it?

If they're quite close going into the last race my money's on Barrichello but that depends on what happens today.

What a start to the race. Fire, crashes, someone wanted a fight etc. Haha, fantastic to be honest. Well Done to Lewis for getting 3rd!! And a BIG Congratulations to Jenson Button who becomes the 2009 FIA Formula 1 World Champion.
