Out of all the things that could happen - I never thought that would . How lucky for Alonso !

Safety car can come out now to help Massa...

It's not luck, it's karma.

Another break.

Wonder what we miss this time ?

What if Schumacker wins Brazil with an Alonso DNF? can he still win the championship then?

Yes. But that is the only scenario in which he can. He'll win on more total victories, I think.

Alonso, in contrast, only has to score a single point assuming he wins today.

In that situation i think Schumacher would take the title on the basis of 1 more race win, but they'd be level on points if my maths is correct.

[iamthestig]

Yeah bang on there, bit unlikely but stranger things have happened

[JonRB]

I take it Ferrari have stuffed it on the Constructors Championship too, with Massa DNF last week and Schumacher DNF this race.

[busby]

Good points for JB as well - thought the Toyota's had him for pace today .

[JonRB]

9 points in the Constructors', I see.

[rushdriver]

Personally I'm gutted that Michael failed to finish the race.

It would have been great to go to the wire on the last race of the season (oh, and I'm a massive fan)

Still!, such is life.........

Never seen Alonso look so happy !

Whats the deal with his little "Karate Kid" celebration when he got out of the car ??
