In my opinion, this is the "drivers" championship, and Massa did no wrong to lose 20 points in Singapore or Hungary, it was the team, but thats just the way the sport goes unfortunately. It's not just the driver, the team and the driver have to be a package. Or else we'd be rating Vettel & Alonso as fighters for the championship :D

But anyways, Massa has my full support this weekend. He's had great drives this year, Hungary for instance. Also, pole in Monaco, a race weekend he could have dominated, except he made one small error. Locking his brakes. You have to think, if Lewis never crashed and never took advantage of the safety car, the same way Alonso won in Singapore, would the weekend have been different. Who knows? Who knows what would have happened if it weren't for a lot of things this year.

But whoever wins tomorrow, surely deserves it. Even if I still want it to be Massa :hehe:

Any driver who can't win if they don't start on the front row isn't good enough to be world champion. So i guess the answer is Hamilton. :(:P

I think we're yet to see Hamilton win a dry race from anywhere other than the front row (pole position, actually)... ;)

That's pretty much no difference from Massa then! Britain and Germany were the difference makers in my eyes, but really, i'd rather it if neither of those pair won. :wink:

Whatever the outcome tomorrow, both drivers should be pleased with what they have achieved

I'm not sure I can agree with that. Hamilton should feel cheated if he loses the title and Massa should feel ashamed that he has won it under such dubious circumstances. True sportsmen should be concerned not about just winning something, but how they won it as well.

If Hamilton Fouls up putting it in the gravel or whatever, then Massa Desrves the title because that just about sums up Lewis's season this year. But if Hamilton is pushed of then yeah I would say he was cheated.

My own view is that the title race should be over, and would have been without the incompetent and biased FIA meddling in things. Regardless of what happens this weekend, Hamilton is the just champion.

sounds like the McLaren Fans Biased view rather than the FiA's. My view is that the FiA were right to penalise LH because He Did cheat on all of those occasions. but maybe the way they carried it out was incorrect

I think Hamilton would have been champion by now had the FIA not decided to intervene. But if Kubica was still in the title hunt then I think he would have deserved to be champion because IMO he has been one of the best drivers this year because of his consistansy.

I think in equal cars Kubica would have had the title wrapped up by now. I think alot of people think so.

I agree. Kubica has been the best driver this season. Hamilton has produced some brilliant drives and some terrible ones. Hamilton doesn't seem to do solid days. :hehe: That said, Kubica has not really been in the picture for the title - he simply hasn't had the car to compete - so Hamilton is the just champion this season.

Okay okay, I was trying to avoid Argumentation as I was going to right something else

GO LEWIS, you deserve it Bud! If Felipe is victor, he shouldn't feel happy, its false

With Vettel & Alonso filling the top 3.

LH would struggle to be top 5 if not for his car.

If Felipe hadn't had 20 points lost for him he would have long been champion by now. Lewis Hamilton did better last year than he has done this year :banghead:
