Will Massa or Hamilton 'accidentally' take Vettel out?

[Golaboots]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Alonso's teammate Massa accidentally takes Vettel out in the final race of the season.
It wouldn't be much of a shock if his mate Hamilton did likewise. He has been very vocal that he would rather Alonso wins it.

I don't think Lewis would ever consider that. And TBH even if ordered to do that, I don't think Massa would (not that I think Ferrari would order that anyway).

Now, whether or not any one of the usual "enthusiastic" drivers takes out one of contenders is another issue.

[Mini1275]

No.

[Ultuous]

^^^ What he said. Neither are cheats or there purely to spoil someone else's championship!

[tommy vercetti]

What would happen if they did on purpose? Punishment?

Neither of them and for sure not lewis. He even made reference to not wanting to affect vettel's race in the 1st corner ie crash into him.

Sorry, a rather cynical topic methinks.

I said to my son a week ago that Alonso will probably have Massa crash into Vettel. Seems the Ferrari way, or Just the Alonso way , remember Nelson Piquet Jr Singapore 2008, ''ordered to crash''.Alonso beneffited from the safety car and wnet on to win the race. Massa was leading at the time of the crash and lost the championship to Hamilton by 1 point in Brazil.
I cant wait till Sunday.

Vettel crashes into Alonso. Championship over. I don't think that he'd do it myself. But, it's happened in the past.

I don't not want him to win. Quite happy for either Alonso, or Vettel to win. Don't quite get the hatred for Vettel to be honest.

Yes, we've all seen this on the first corner. Please let's hope it's a clean scrap to the end

I think there is more chance of Webber taking Vettel out than Hami or Massa, especially now the constructors championship is tied up. Just to show his upstart team-mate a thing or two!!

Has anyone in the f1 circus said they want vettel to win? Read several interviews with button Hamilton, noone in favour of vettel......

Which means what, exactly?

[Shelsleyf2]

Massa to be short fueled so he can pass Vettel in the opening laps and push him back into the chasing pack. Red Bulls standard gearing drag set up is based on leading from the front with less straight line speed, making it very difficult to overtake even in DRS zone. Gary Anderson today said "at Austin when Hamilton was chasing Vettel he had 21kph speed difference, when the roles were reversed Vettel had 12kph.

Ferrari wouldn't do that ....would they?.

Erm alonso would be the more popular /worthy victor based on performances this year.

Doubt this very much. Apart from the danger, with the exception of Kimi these guys are *very* image conscious me thinks. And Massa must be quite fed up with Alonso, doubt he'd do it if ordered on pain of getting fired.

Personally I'd like Alonso to take this one home though. Not really a "fan" of the guy, but I think he's been exceptional this year.

Exactly what he says - so far anyone who has had a microphone put in their face has said they are either neutral or favouring Alonso for the title.

Well, all I have seen is Button and Hamilton. Haven't really read anything from anyone else.

[Clevers]

May be there will be a Teutonic conspiracy with Schumacher taking out Alonso for the glory of the Fatherland and Seb's third Reich. No much love lost between Schuey and Alonso.

[mattikake]

Ah you'd love it to happen, but in all the numerous WDCs where similar could've happened, no amount of wishing for it ever made it so.

All these prima donnas must think they're professionals or something.
