Can JB hang on in there or are the Red Bulls catching him too quickly? I think it will be close and could go down to the last race (again). I've optimistically gone for Jenson -what does everyone else think? |

The sensible money has to be on Button, he still has a large lead and the Red Bull drivers will continue to take points off each other. I'd back Red Bull to win the constructor's title, however. If Red Bull do overhaul Brawn in a big way and can rely on Ferrari, Williams and McLaren to take points away from Button, I'd back Webber to take the title over Vettel because he has been more consistent. Vettel has retired four times this season, three of those from his own errors. Compare with Webber whose non-scores this year have not been his fault. |

I'm with RA on this. It's hard to vote against JB at this time. I can see Brawn coming off hiatus with a better car. But if they don't, it'll have to be Mark. Vettel's good, and probably a more complete driver, but he's making too many errors and to be WDC, you have to both win AND be consistant when you don't. |

7 races to go and Button has 70 points and six wins. Therefore it is still possible for Michael Schumacher to win his eight title.

As much as I'd like to see it Norbs, still got to go w/ Jenson. Ross just knows how to win. |

At this point, I'd say Webber. Brawn look a shadow of what they were at present, and Red Bull have probably the best car on the grid. Webber is now roughly as quick as Vettel having struggled initially, and is more consistent - so Webber to win. It will go down to the last race though. |

My head says Button but Brawn have dropped the ball recently. Vettel could catch him but seems to have had a couple of shaky performances. May be Webber if he has a little luck and keeps his head. |

'bubi-schumi' is what Vettel is called here in Germanyland (didn't mean Ralf) |

Hungary was a low-downforce, slow-cornered blip. Brawn have a big aero update coming, Jenson has a large lead and of course they have Ross Brawn. |
