Anyone think Webber has a chance tonight starting from fifth on the grid?
I really hope he does win, but for me I think Vettel has got this one, so will depend on where Alonso finishes up to see who wins.

These are all the possibilities of what must happen for each driver to win:

Alonso (246 points) will be champion if:
- he finishes first or second
- he finishes third, fourth or fifth, and neither Webber nor Vettel win
- he finishes sixth, with Webber no higher than third and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes seventh or eighth, with Webber no higher than fourth and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes ninth, with Webber no higher than fifth and Vettel no higher than third
- he finishes 10th, with Webber no higher than sixth and Vettel no higher than third
- he fails to score, with Webber no higher than sixth, Vettel no higher than third and Hamilton failing to win
If no rivals score? Alonso is champion

Webber (238) will be champion if:
- he wins, with Alonso no higher than third
- he finishes second, with Alonso no higher than sixth and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes third, with Alonso no higher than seventh and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes fourth, with Alonso no higher than ninth and Vettel failing to win
- he finishes fifth, with Alonso no higher than tenth and Vettel failing to win
If no rivals score? Webber must finish fifth or higher to become champion

Vettel (231) will be champion if:
- he wins, with Alonso no higher than fifth
- he finishes second with Alonso no higher than ninth and Webber no higher than fifth
If no rivals score? Vettel must finish second or higher to become champion

Hamilton (222) will be champion if:
- he wins, with Alonso failing to score, Webber no higher than sixth and Vettel no higher than third.
If no rivals score? Hamilton must win to become champion

Deadlock: in theory, Alonso, Webber and Vettel could finish level on points at the top - a result of Vettel winning, Webber second and Alonso fifth in Abu Dhabi would give them 256 points apiece. Vettel and Alonso would have five wins each, two second places each and three third places each. Vettel would then be champion based on his three fourth places to Alonso’s two.

I think Alonso will win... Webber ruined his chances in qualifying...

Agreed with Boomz but if they can manipulate Webber to second. If Alonso stays third. Vettel will get the old "Mark is faster than you" message  :P Note I didn't say he'd LISTEN to it

[Boomz]

If Webber can get a good start then it should be good to watch... I wouldn't mind seeing Vettel & Alonso crash :D Vettel is a knob lol

yeah well before last weeks race vettel said he would
do whatever he needed to do to get a red bull driver as the champion. So he may just listen ;)

I think it could be a long night...

Really wish I had put money on it, he was paying 4.5 to 1
