you can't, you foolish boy. as it turns out, Hulks time was perfectly legit...same tyres and at the same time as all the other runners. MS looked very happy for him, but WTF happened?? amazing.
1st - Vettel 2nd- Weber 3rd- Alonso Red Bull confirm constructors championship. Drivers Championship still open.
so, what are the maths now? same as today and I think FA wins, so I would imagine Vettel would let Webber through on the last corner. what are the other possibilities? Oh...if Vettel then Webber and no alonso in sight, Vettel gets it, right?
The 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be the nineteenth and the last round of the 2010 Formula One season. It will be held in Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi on November 14, 2010.[1] This will also be Bridgestone's last race as tyre supplier after announcing their withdrawal from Formula One, bringing to an end its thirteen year association with the sport dating back to 1997. Pirelli will take over as Formula One's sole tyre supplier from 2011. 4 drivers can still clinch the title. Alonso is champion if: he is 1st or 2nd he is 3rd or 4th AND Webber is 2nd or lower he is 5th or 6th, AND Webber is 3rd or lower, AND Vettel is 2nd or lower. he is 7th or 8th, AND Webber is 4th or lower, AND Vettel is 2nd or lower. he is 9th, AND Webber is 5th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower. he is 10th, AND Webber is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower. he fails to score a point, but Webber is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower, AND Hamilton is 2nd or lower. Webber is champion if: he wins, AND Alonso is 3rd or lower. he is 2nd, AND Alonso is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower. he is 3rd, AND Alonso is 7th or lower, AND Vettel is 2nd or lower. he is 4th, AND Alonso is 9th or lower, AND Vettel is 2nd or lower. he is 5th, AND Alonso is 10th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower. Vettel is champion if: he wins, AND Alonso is 5th or lower. he is 2nd, AND Alonso is 9th or lower, AND Webber is 5th or lower. he is 3rd, AND Alonso fails to score a point, AND Webber is 6th or lower, AND Hamilton is 2nd or lower. Hamilton is champion if: he wins, AND Alonso fails to score a point, AND Webber is 6th or lower, AND Vettel is 3rd or lower.
There was an F1 race on? Didn't even see it on the guides.. I DID however see the last MotoGP for the season, but every round is good for very close action regardless. I better watch the last F1 race then since "our" man is in with a chance and it's down to the wire for several..
A couple of examples... If Webber wins he needs FA to come 3rd or worse. If Vettel he needs FA to come 5th or worse, and Webber doesn't matter. The last example could result in the same points for Webber and Vettel (if Webber comes second), but Vettel would have 5 wins against Webber having 4.
Well, that's what I get for pressing reply, walking away and then coming back to write up my response... Oops.
All Mr Alonso has to do is finish the race in the top few and he is champion... Assuming he has an engine in the stockpile with enough life aboard....
A rather crestfallen Mark Webber faced the music this evening in the Abu Dhabi paddock after a disappointing qualifying session. Webber starts fifth behind all of his title rivals. The Aussie, who lies second in the championship, eight points behind Fernando Alonso, was never really on the pace of his teammate Sebastian Vettel. He was three tenths slower in Q1, two tenths slower in Q2 and then six tenths slower in Q3, when it counted. The last couple of minutes (of Q3) were not the best for me, said Webber. I didnt really have the performance in myself of the car. Had he reproduced his Q2 form in Q3 he would have been third behind Lewis Hamilton. But he said, ruefully, that for the first time this season, I looked at the pit board and I though, I cant do that lap time. Everywhere else Ive dug in and got the lap. Today I couldnt do that. Most of Webbers deficit to Vettel is in the second sector of the lap, the one which features the two long straights and the heavy braking for Turn 8. Here Webber set only the 13th fastest sector time, three tenths slower than Vettel. He also dropped a couple of tenths in each of the other two sectors. It will be very hard for Webber to make up the places he needs in the race. Starting behind Alonso, he needs to get himself up at least two places ahead of him if he is to have a chance, If I finish one position ahead of Fernando its not enough, that was pretty obvious after Brazil, said Webber, I need to finish ahead of him, but also if I dont finish I dont in the championship either. The script is impossible to predict tomorrow. Webber feels that if he loses the title it will not be because of this qualifying session. Its over 12 months of hard work, you dont have a chance of winning the championship unless you perform over a whole season, which I have done.
