I think its because its a 2 and a bit lead after 6 races. It would require him repeatedly DNFing and one other driver winning 2/3 of the next races just to even it up. That plus the perceived superiority of the RB7 means people are giving it up as a forgone conclusion.

But its still early and developments can still happen.

Jenson had a similar lead and he very nearly got caught by the end. Plus when he was winning Rubens was the guy running second all the time so he had a nice buffer to Seb and Mark that year. This year Mark is having issues and its Lewis chasing him.

Also in Jenson's WDC year the mid season victories were spread, Mark, Seb, Rubens, Lewis, Kimi...

This year its looking alot more like it will be just Lewis, so the gap is 'easier' to be broken.

No doubt Seb is in a great position but I'm not willing to say its over, unless RBR manages to take good points at their 'bad' tracks like Canada, or Lewis is the guy getting DNFs. If McLaren start catching close the gap to less than 2 wins by Silverstone its still all on

I think people still look at this gap with the old point system eyes. I havent worked it out precisely for Lewis but Vettel would be on 58 and Lewis would be on say 34 roughly. And Vettel hasnt had any DNFs yet because he has been out front, less pressure. All we need is for Ferrari or McLaren to apply some pressure and mistakes will happen. Pressure as in winning a few races.

Yes very true. In my mind the Mclaren will be the fastest car in a few race no doubt.

I only meant that it seem's to be staged kinda like an advert pic is, it would be a great pic if LH win's the WDC .

Honestly man if he wins the WDC and then stands like that he needs help.

<EDITED FOR CONTENT> with his earrings and big glasses <EDITED FOR CONTENT>. He whines so much about the FIA or his team. Its actually quite funny how he tries to compare himself to senna Now he ran into Button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Murray Walker]

That must be how he is watching the remainder of the race, eh what?

It looks like Vettel's WDC now. The closest challenger is Jenson, and that guy can make 1 or 2 great races per year nothing more. The biggest threats Lewis and Alonso are now pretty far back to challenge this year.

[carmonwebber]

Chances are its SV's, but nothings impossible given we're not even halfway through the season yet.

1 or 2 DNF's by Seb and if Lewis can pull his head in, then it'll be back on just as quickly.

This thread is getting VERY long in the tooth, so either keep it on topic and specific without slurs or it will be locked.

Thanks Mom! Not sure what we would do without you since you know what is best for us. I remember back in the day, oh nevermind you were not even born then so.......

SEBASTIAN VETTEL WILL NOT WIN THE 2011 World Driver's Championship!

The down force force is strong with this one.

[myownalias]

Unless you're going to take a 'hit' out on Vettel; I suspect that you're going to be sorely disappointed!
