The race where the last 3 championships have been won, 2006, Alonso takes the title from Schumacher
2007, Kimi completes the unthinkable comeback to win the title in style
2008, Hamilton finally clinches the title in probably the greatest finish ever. (yes I still get a sick feeling thinking about it. Angry )
2009, Can Button clinch the title and write the final chapter in a dream season for Brawn, or can Vettel and Rubens take the title down to the wire.

Predictions in By quali start time please.

Sorry, I can't stand domination of any kind. Too repetitive. I like not knowing how it's going to turn out, and I would never have guessed this outcome. Although I was rooting hard for Rubens. Wink

Today reminded me of Rubens German GP win a few years back. Cool

I'm loving it .......... It looks like I'm going to get my wish of it going down to the wire at Dubai ...... However we'll have to see what happens today Cheesy

Either way it's yet another spectacular season end, which wouldn't have been possible under the ludicrous medal rule that was proposed.

History says Rubens cant win in brazil.
However he is surrounded by cars on a wet weather setup with the race expected to be dry. If it is, then only Webber will be an issue, if it rains, then the Willams are looking good.

This is what every race needs to be like. The points system needs changing to encourage these drives. People, drivers and so on say its not possible to overtake in F1. Yet last year when they had to do it, drivers like, Massa, like Lewis made some spectacular moves, resulting in the end some great races and lewis winning the title.
2007, Same thing again with Kimi and Alonso making the moves that had them having a chance at the title.
2006 look at Schumachers last drive at Brazil.
2005 Kimi round the outside of Fisi turn 1 at suzuka.

Overtakings always been possible, the drivers have just never had a reason to do so because consistency is rewarded over going for it. See Button and the fact he's not won a race since Turkey in June?? Yet today Button finally under presure turns in a fantastic performance with pleanty of overtaking.
The medals system wouldn't work, but a points gap would. Make the podium places worth fighting for with high points, then the 4th through 8th being much lower points.
We've ended up with ugly cars for no reason really.
