McLaren should put all the effect behind Lewis. He been loyal and a hard worker for them and stick it to Alonso.

Thet wont do that. They will provide a level playing field as always.

i think McLaren would LOVE to back LH all the way, however, RD is a man who plays fair, and will prove it by doing so for the rest of the season..

however if FA does go off, you can GUARANTEE he will not admit to driver error, he will insist that something broke on the car, and say it was a deliberate attempt by McLaren to sabotage his championship chances..

aaaaah, so you can think with some foresight then! But unless we see the last 3 races with the same reliability we have seen all season, if ANYTHING even remotely suspicious occurs, apart from a totally unpredictable car problem, at least we know the FIA will be looking VERY closely at it!!!

EVERY car problem is unpridictable for gods sake, these cars are maintained 110%!!!

if there is ANY suspicion that a part will not complete the required distance plus 10% then it gets changed, that is the way of formula one..

reliability has been 100% in races for mclaren so far, what is the chance of that continuing??? even in '04 when MS finished on the podium at EVERY race, there were failures on RB's car, it's just the luck of the draw. Or do you think Ferrari deliberatley put parts that would fail on his car??

MMM they do. How strange. A team that go out of their way to give fair and equal treatment to their drivers are now threatened and watched in case they don't do so. I dont recall this particular desire for fair play being persued with such fervor during the Schumacher era. Was Barichello, Irvine et al not worthy of the FIA's "protection".

Well Said, I remember poor Barichello when he was ordered to lose to Schumacher in Austria that turn the world off F1.

First, for Lewis to win the WDC he's got to win Fuji. The race will be truly unpredictable and therefore anything can happen, mainly because the 4 top cars are extremely close. Lewis has made more "small" mistakes lately (and in the rain) than Alonso has, so any one of those little mistakes with this level of closeness could mean the race. Turn 1 will be interesting though...

Secondly, Mclaren has been supporting Lewis to win from the start, but they wouldn't have sacrificed Alonso's chances had Lewis not been able to compete. Which he has clearly shown. But the way Lewis always mentions his team and his loyalty and so on... is just him nailing the coffin for Alonso... in public!!

My prediction for the race: Lewis and Alonso will crash. Kimi wins!!
hahahha

I don't agree, for a second why will McLaren pay Alonso Â£76 million for 5 years to lose? Lewis was just the back up he wasn't suppose to be this good. Not even Ron Dennis, expected Lewis to be leading the world championship. If this was the case and McLaren was backing Lewis over Alonso Alonso will be the first to talk out. Lewis is good and McLaren believe in equal treatment to both their drivers. If Alonso was in another team I bet there would have ask him to leave. Lewis like driving in the rain I remember Lewis in Karting and F3....British Drivers are very good in the rain that why Jenson, did very well today in qualifying. Alonso just cost McLaren $ 100 million, and he also refuse to attend the meeting in Paris were McLaren was fighting for there livelihood. F1 is a team sport the 100 million is the wages of the men that work on Alonso and Lewis car, no one can blame Lewis for talking about the biggest fine given in sport history.......Alonso should be kick out of McLaren

My prediction Lewis will win!!!!!!!
