The Tide of the Championship

Currently:
1) Massa
2) Kubi
3) Kimi

How will it change after tomorrow's race?

Will Massa stay on top or will somebody else take that position?

My prediction for the WDC standings after tomorrow:

1) Kimi
2) Hami
3) Kubi

It's kinda ironic that it hardly matters what the two guys on the front row do tomorrow.

 

It's not possible for Felipe to drop out of the top three so you're wrong on your prediction

 

1) Raikkonen
2) Massa
3) Kubica

Tonight Massa is not allowing the distraction of his crew´s ¨problem¨during qualifying, but will relax and focus and will podium. Kimi will win the race, the front row is running very light.

 

If you believe Massa will podium (which I think is possible), Kimi will still behind him in points even if Kimi win the race.

 

Actually I believe it is possible, but you bring up an interesting point:

If Hami wins, Kimi 2nd and Kubica 3rd, then Kimi and Kubica will have more points than Massa and Hami will be tied with Massa. Therefore it goes to number of 2nd places, where Massa and Hami each have one. Then it goes to 3rd places, where again each have one. Then it goes to 4th places, neither has one, so it goes to 5th places where again each has one. Neither has any other placings in the points. So what happens? I *believe* (not totally sure on this) at that point it matters who won the first race in which case it goes to Hamilton winning the opening race.

I realize this is splitting hairs. That's the fun part.

 

Too early for me to do the math, thanks for doing it for me!

 

Haha, well I'm going to go with my first instinct and say that if Hamilton wins and Massa finishes outside of the points that I'll consider it at tie for third I don't think Hami has a chance against the blistering pace of the Red Bull tho...

 

Massa
Raikkonen
Kubica

 

it's going to be tough for Massa to keep the WDC lead from where he's starting...but, if it rains, anything can happen... given a relatively 'normal' race, i think it will see Kimi as points leader...

 

Well, now we have a 3 way tie again. Pretty exciting stuff. Sounds like this one is going down to the wire. Again.

Not that I care about the constructor's title, but BMW/Theissen must be over the moon to have passed McLaren. They might actually hold on to that 2nd spot.

 

Fantastic...a trend I hope to see continue, with a last race decider.

 

+1

i see it going down to the end... with title btw Hami and Kimster

 

+100
