Me too. The way Button has been performing lately Rubino's chances are improving.

I'm pulling for Rubens. Great driver and all-around class act.

I'm with everyone else, I'm pulling for Barrichello. I was hoping Vettel would make it a 3 way fight, but that seems impossible now. Button hasn't done dick with the pressure on, and I don't think he deserves to back into the championship. The stage is set for Barrichello to make it close in front of his home crowd.

I never understood the hype for Button and always just attributed
it to an exhibition of British nationalism by publishers.

Go, Mr Barrichello !

With 18 laps to go, it doesn't look good for RB.

I only have access to somewhat delayed results - currently displaying
for lap 54.

He was 2nd in the high 40's, he must have pitted? Who else still has
to?

Not my sums, but reportedly if Mr Barrichello takes 3rd, Mr Button wins
the championship with 7th.

Im a vettel fan but he didnt do what he needed in key moments. Oh well, he has a long career ahead. As for Rubens and Jenson, it doesnt really matter to me. I kinda like Rubens more, but they both are good guys in my mind.
