Felippe Massa drove flawlessly in front of his home town supporters to take pole position for the last race of the formula one season. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton Is right behind with his rivals Raikkonen and Alonso right behind him. There are a number of situations where Alonso, Hamilton and Raikkonen can clinch the title.
1. Hamilton wins if he wins the race or finishes ahead of the other two.
2. Alonso wins and Hamilton finshes third or worse.
3. Raikkonen wins and Alonso finishes third and Hamilton finishes 6th.
It is a tall ask for Ferrari and Raikkonen will be hoping he can get all the help he can from team mate Massa. Alonso who is almost sure to leave Mclaren will be going all out to defend his crown and prevent Hamilton from making histroy. Being a Raikonnen fan I can only hope for a what I could call a miracle.

Hamilton Faulters, Its Split Wide Open
Lewis Hamilton was on the brink of creating history but an error sent him into race retirement leaving Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen to take the win. Mclaren teammate Fernando Alonso was second and Felipe Massa third. This result has opened the Driver's Championship wide open. Hamilton sits on 107 points folowed closeley by Alonso with 103 and Raikonnen is right behind on 100. It all comes down to the last race of the season in Brazil. Hamilton was had the race under control after starting from pole but tricky weather conditions caused his tyres to give way and spin out while heading for the pits. Raikonnen capitalised and never looked back. This is a bonus for F1 fans since the last race has so much at stake. Vettel and Button were the surprise of the race as they finsihed in fourth and fifth respectively, their best result of the season.I'm going to be optimistic and pray for a ferrari one-two in the next race with Raikonnen winning the title.

Nigel who was Head of Development claims that while he was with ferrari, he received information about the Mclaren car. weight distribution and other car parts is the information he claims to have received. Stepney claims the information was given to him by Mclarens Chief Designer Mike Coughlan who played an instrumental role in the 49.2 million dollar fine doled out to Mclaren last month. BBC has seen a copy of the letter sent by Stepney to Max Moxley, the FIA President claiming to have sent a letter to the governing body regarding a certain part of the ferrari car. Stepney feels that Ferrari got off lightly and that, like Mclaren should be docked points.
