Will Bernie "arrange" for the drivers title to go down to the final race of the season?

No, Jenson will tie it up this weekend.

Unless Button makes a mess this weekend (which is entirely possible), I don't see how it could go down to the wire in the final race.

Most likely he will clinch it in Japan. Otherwise in Brazil. If he can't clinch it, well, it is Jenson Button we're talking about, whose performance swings as much as a woman's mood during a lunar cycle. hehe

Depends how far down the route of Sports Entertainment Bernie wants to take the F1 championship this year, given the public response to last years cliff hanger, my guess is it will be tied up at either Brazil of Abu Dhabi . . . . . . who's going to win it's out of Rubens or Jenson is anybodys guess, who knows maybe they'll go for the older underdog finaly wins route boxedin

What's the iterations - with 3 races left and 15 points ahead I assume he needs only 5 points more than Barrichello, which is possible though not likely with his current form.

It might do but only in a 1997 style were Barrichello would need to win and Button would need to retire for Barrichello to win the title.

it will be a slim mathematical chance at best.

in terms of driver performance, i dont think it will go down to the final race - i think jenson can "see" the finish line and has the motivation he needs to get the job done.

however, im not daft enough to think that there isnt room for a twist in the tale courtesy of mr eccleston & co. suppose it will make for interesting viewing! That said, dont think even Bernie can predict the weather in Brazil....

How about BArri having a first corner incident and taking him out this weekend to spice things up a bit?. Both score nil OR Barri survives and Button scores nil!.
