Alonso (246 points) will be champion if:
- he finishes first or second
- he finishes third, fourth or fifth, and neither Webber nor Vettel win
- he finishes sixth, with Webber no higher than third and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes seventh or eighth, with Webber no higher than fourth and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes ninth, with Webber no higher than fifth and Vettel no higher than third
- he finishes 10th, with Webber no higher than sixth and Vettel no higher than third
- he fails to score, with Webber no higher than sixth, Vettel no higher than third and Hamilton failing to win
If no rivals score? Alonso is champion
Webber (238) will be champion if:
- he wins, with Alonso no higher than third
- he finishes second, with Alonso no higher than sixth and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes third, with Alonso no higher than seventh and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes fourth, with Alonso no higher than ninth and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes fifth, with Alonso no higher than tenth and Vettel failing to win
If no rivals score? Webber must finish fifth or higher to become champion
Vettel (231) will be champion if:
- he wins, with Alonso no higher than fifth
- he finishes second with Alonso no higher than ninth and Webber no higher than fifth
If no rivals score? Vettel must finish second or higher to become champion
Hamilton (222) will be champion if:
- he wins, with Alonso failing to score, Webber no higher than sixth and Vettel no higher than third.
If no rivals score? Hamilton must win to become champion
Deadlock: in theory, Alonso, Webber and Vettel could finish level on points at the top - a result of Vettel winning, Webber second and Alonso fifth in Abu Dhabi would give them 256 points apiece. Vettel and Alonso would have five wins each, two second places each and three third places each. Vettel would then be champion based on his three fourth places to Alonso’s two.
are schui and villeneuve racing this weekend?!
shuey is definitely racing! ... haha ... i'm guessing he is prepared to knock off a car for a ride in one of the top teams next year ...
thoughts?
And Alonso is famous for demanding that his team make him number one-nothing new there.
I have mixed feelings about the team orders. I would like to think each driver is racing for himself-presumably making the races more competitive. But given the amount of money these teams spend and the potential rewards for winning a championship, acting as a team makes financial sense. We are talking big money. Rumored to be as much as $100 million for the constructor's championship.
Funny, Im not sure if there is prize money for the driver's championship, as there is in NASCAR.
I am sure there is some financial reward though.

Helmut's baby pulled it off (this is a slight at RBR, not Vettel ).
Some excitement with the pit stops but Hermann Tilke needs to stop designing race tracks...

What can ya do. Hopefully the Red Bulls aren't so much faster next year!
it helped a little that red bull basically had two teams out there ... either way ... it was good to see 4 drivers in the hunt this year ... pretty amazing that it may have come down to how many fourth place finishes a driver had ...
Driver's championship was up for grabs all year. Cant wait for next season. Rygar, hopefully I will make it up there next year! Still pissed I couldn't go this year.
Yes very good point - all the top teams had some reliability issues. Ferrari managed Alonso's engines pretty good, the one he used in AD was low mileage and never race-used.
Disappointing finish as a fan of a team, but pretty good season as a fan of the sport.
