Formula 1, nervy last Grand Prix of the season

[Johnny Karp]

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the last one of the F1 season and, for the first time in history, four drivers are still in with a chance to clinch the World Championship title. Here's how they stand now:

1. Fernando Alonso    (Spanish)    Ferrari    246
2. Mark Webber    (Australian)    RBR-Renault    238
3. Sebastian Vettel    (German)    RBR-Renault    231
4. Lewis Hamilton    (British)    McLaren-Mercedes    222

With the race winner getting 25 points even Lewis Hamilton has a chance to grab the title. But most likely the battle will be between Alonso, Webber and Vettel. Here are the odds for the world championship winner from Blue Square Bet (no US):

World Championship 2010       
Fernando Alonso    10/11 
Mark Webber    6/4    
Sebastian Vettel    6/1    
Lewis Hamilton    40/1

Fernando Alonso will have to finish second in the Abu Dhabi GP to make sure of the title, we'll have a very tense race there!

Thanks Johnny.

Who do you think will win the race and who will win the overall Championship?

It's quite difficult to predict but I have a feeling that Webber will win the race and Alonso will come in second to clinch the title. It's just a hunch though, I can't really predict this one

Here is the result:

Pos.   Name                 Points
1     Sebastian Vettel    25
2     Lewis Hamilton       18
3     Jenson Button       15
4     Nico Rosberg         12
5     Robert Kubica       10
6     Vitaly Petrov          8
7    Fernando Alonso     6
8     Mark Webber         4
9     Jaime Alguersuari    2
10    Felipe Massa          1

....which means Vettel wins the World Championship Title.  Nice result for him.

Congrats to Vettel, I didn't think he would be able to pull it off...
