I'll be clapping for Crash (Seb) to take out the Spanish Git (Alonso) at turn 1.

I think you'll find Sebastian has a bit more talent than Schumacher and that Webber is only where he is because of his car.

That's a bizzare thing to say??

How can you say webber is only there because of his car when throughout the season he has beaten his team mate several times in both qualifying and the race? And when he is beaten, it is generally only by very small margins by a teammate which you seem to rate very highly.

Contrast this with the situation at Ferrari for example when one team mate is winning gp's and the other is struggling to get into Q3 most races. I could understand that comment in that situation.

Can you name another team mate that has been able to beat Webber?

IMHO Webber is the better balanced driver. Sometimes he has difficulty getting the last tenth of crash that means starting from the front. Crash is quite good if he can out qualify everyone and start from the front. If not - well that's how he got his nickname in the paddock as the "crash kid".

This is the first time in Webbers career that he's actually had a leading car.

personally think if it comes to it vettel will move over if itmeans webber taking the title and vettel not being in a position to take it out.
looking at practise webber 4th quickest not such a good situation, hamilton is quite likely to stuff up everyones plans, still makes for a good championship and whatever the result think this has been one of the best of recent times.

Nick Heidfeld upstaged him in 2005 at the Nurburgring by taking pole and beat him to take second place at Monaco.

Hate to play devils advocate on this one, but let me know when he (Webber) actually passes someone else without taking them out. He's good in the simulator and by himself in qualifying, but put him in traffic and he's an 'also ran'.
I just don't think he deserves the title. Having said that, I'd love to see yet another Aussie beat them at their own game.


Cheers.
