So who is going to win the driver’s and constructor’s championship?

Not a surprise but I am rooting for Ferrari for both.

Ron wasn’t at fault so I will say he is an excellent leader and I think Sunday is going to be one hell of a race with alot of tension from last year coming out of both teams

please tell me you guys watched that race…

Last race, last lap, last corner and Timo Glock couldn’t hold 5th position and Hamilton passed him… Hamilton won the driver’s championship by 1 freakin point.

And he lost it by 1 point last year in Brazil to Kimi.

You can thank Toyota’s stragety (not strategy) for Hamilton’s win in the drivers championship. They played a wild card and got burned at the end and Phil was the one who had to pay the price. Great race over all though.

I’m looking forward to what Seb Vettel can do next year especially with the radical changes in the aero packages.

I think next year’s contenders are going to be Vettel, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Alonso and Massa. I am convinced one of those guys win win the driver’s championship.
