i'd like Vettel to win as he is the future but his title is not going to come this year.

If Jenson wins then I don't see him attracting new viewers to F1 or broadening the sports profile. The same goes for Barrichello.

I think if Barrichello manages to out-class Button in the last 4 races to an extent that he actually does win the world title on merit, then I don't think I'd have a problem there.


Exactly, now that it's an intra-team affair we'll see who merits the crown. I'm convinced JB's the better driver but if RB were to win it we would have witnessed something seriously impressive.

Vettel for me is the only top line driver out of the four


Vettel has been somewhat underwhelming this year, though, given all the promise of last season.

For me, it would be Rubens, for those seventeen years of hard work. The fact that, at 37, he's still capable of winning races in style, is nothing short of impressive.

No question for me: Barrichello. The Brazilian has shown over the years he has all the skills required to win at least one title. He was unfortunate enough to have to be Schumacher's team-mate. Also, his personality seems a lot more likeable than Button's.

Button's alright, Hamilton has to be the worst for arrogance IMO.

I agree. This would be the longest a driver has spent in the sport before getting the championship, wouldn't it? I think it would be spectacular to see a man in his seventeenth season of F1, at 37 years of age, defying critics and naysayers and taking the championship. It would be great for the sport, too :)

Also, on a side-note, am I the only one that doesn't think it's a coincidence that Barrichello started to have an edge over Button ever since he switched to a different type of brakes? :scratchchin:

It's weird because I think Hamilton probably is a little arrogant but I still find him likable. Button I find just a bit boring :yawn:

Unfortunate to drive in Schumacher's era maybe. But with Hakkinen at McLaren at the turn of the millennium and Alonso at Renault after that, I don't see where Rubens would have been able to mount a challenge.

Yeah, it is definitely unfortunate. However, I think that Barrichello would have challenged for, and more than likely won at one stage, the championship in the place of Hakkinen or Alonso. He has been a little unlucky with being in the wrong place, but here's his chance. If he can beat Button this year, he will cement his place in Formula One for next year at least.
