Yep. I love Suzuka, it was such a shame we lost it for a couple of years.

By the looks of it Brawn will miss out on the constructors today by 1 point.

Well if Vettel goes on winning and Brawn losing, Uber indeed!

But even if Vettel wins in Sao Paolo and in Abu Dhabi

Button needs to finish 4th or better in either race

or two finishes 6th/7th or 5th/8th in both

to win by just one clear point.

(Can't do the tie )

Could be another Hamilton'esque win the championship by driving for 5th.

Rosberg sounded guilty to me. He said "I didn't gain an advantage", which isn't the point. If it's a timing issue then it'll be black and white.

Statistically that is well possible. Button is averaging 3 points a race since Silverstone, fairly consistently by F1 standards.

So on average he should make it with a point to spare. But the standard deviation?

Could be very interesting if he doesn't score in Brazil but Vettel wins.

As you say, shades of Hamilton.

(Never rains in Brazil ...
... or does it?)
