Fundamentally it appears that Brawn does not have the resources to keep up with Red Bull in the development race. While Button has a clear lead in the points, the Brawn now appears to be midpack, while the Red Bull can still fight at the front.

well it really depends on Redbull, what they dont need is McLaren or co taking points away from them! If Redbull can retain the superior pace then teams like McLaren, Renault & Ferrari will help Redbull out if they can take points away from Brawn.

Its possible that Button wont win another race but winning 6 at the start could be enough to take the title, in by seasons end not the fastest or second fastest car.

Too early for any conclusions

maybe we will see some signs at the last 2 or 3 GPs

or when WDC and/or WCC points difference are leveled

I think Button won't win. It will be Vettel or Webber.

It will be Button/Vettel/Webber going into the last couple rounds but by the final round it should be Vettel/Webber. Hope Webber can win it. His got the car to do it!

I think Button can still win it because all he has to do is hit consistent podiums / point-finishes.

Red Bull have made massive steps forward but so have Mclaren and Ferrari. It is going to be a lot harder for Vettel to win races with them on his tail (as well as Webber) compared to when the Brawn was miles ahead of everyone else with their diffuser package. Button is still in a better position

i'm expecting Vettel to take the WDC. I also think that this season's championship will be won with the smallest amount of points in a while, perhaps around 90-95. Schumacher won with 93 in 2003, and I'm expecting around that with three drivers close to that total. Hamilton is my dark horse to come 4th in the championship ahead of Rubens, he's got a lot of points to make up but by the end of the season he will have the best car on the grid and the Brawn will have slipped even further back. To be honest the only thing I care about is him winning Spa to put the record books straight.

I think Jenson deserves the success he's had so far this season, and I hope he can go all the way, but I think his car will fail him at the last due to lack of funding for development. Still, Brawn deserve many plaudits for the car they've provided him with this season.

JB is going to be in Rubens mode at the end of the season.Roles reversed,if you know what i mean

[scotty]

He'll scrape it, as i've said elsewhere he's still picking up points despite car issues, and as we saw today the McLaren's and Ferrari's can take points off BOTH teams so it can work both ways... this could still yet be an exciting title finale!

[richindarlo]

I think that whoever wins its going to be an exciting finish to the season! I think its a shame in a way mcclaren and ferrari didnt find some good form a race or two sooner

[yamashek]

Seb was super unlucky today...but i am starting to be concerned about his consistency, but i think this year is his learning year... 2010 might be a different situation

[bud]

Hamilton will win the title.

[Gaz]

Hamilton will win the title.

lol that would be some comeback.

Its still buttons to Loose tho

Webber scored four points more than Button today. If he does that in each of the last seven races, he'll gain 28 points on Button, and win the championship by 10 points. And this was a track that we were told over and over again would suit the Brawn. If Webber scores three more points than Button in each of the remaining races, Webber will still take the championship.

There's four weeks break now. But I personally think it likely that the teams with a better rate of development will pull even further ahead of Brawn.

Even if McLaren and Ferrari return to form, the Red Bull car last year was capable of scoring 29 points in the last seven races for Vettel last year, though Mark Webber only scored three points in the same races.

It doesn't look positive to me.

[Hanwombat]

dont want him too

[Gaz]

we'll see what happens come spain.

But Mclaren are definitly at least the 2nd fastest car, and Ferrari arn't far behind

Worst case scenario Red Bull find abit of speed and get a 1-2 with Mclaren,Ferrari 3-4, 5-6 and as FF63 says 2 points per race aint gonna win the button the title
