Whichever way it pans out, Vettel's route to the title is probably not going to involve the sort of domination he imposed during the season's first half.

Although it is difficult to envisage him losing the championship, a couple of non-finishes from him in combination with the likely see-sawing competitive picture would certainly liven things up


If only Mclaren and Ferrari had got their act together at the start of the season, this would have possibly been the best season in years.
Hopefully it will be the best second half in years

It's like the Brawn year. They will probably focus on the following year and reduce development of this years car. So long as it doesn't lose to much momentum and the competition keeps hurting itself. Apart from the ineveitable ultimate outcome of many races it has been an exciting season so far.

So the domination of the Austro-Germanic empire is ending. Reminds me of 43/44.

In fact, if you think about it, there are a lot of similarities.

Once the Germans quit Italy, Italy fell shortly after. So after the German left Ferrari (i.e. Italy) that great team from that so-so country with great food and delightful national anthem could only muster one more win - and only then due to the bickering between the English and the Spanish. Which also has roots in history.

Even more parallels the British unit was smaller and faster, though the Spanish unit was more powerful, but not able to adapt.

Now a lot of the Germans have defected to mixed teams and science there seems to progress.

The real German team which is emerging is Mercedes. German car, German name, German drivers (one old and one madly gay) trying to fight momentum. Their sponsor doesn't make as much money even as Ford, and they just don't have the resources to do anything but pretend.

Poor Germany - history is repeating itself once again like bad pizza and too much beer.

If only we could draw the Americans into F1, then this war would be over immediately. Until then we have a smattering of Brazilians, Poles, Spanish, and Italians.

The British remain isolated.
