Default Title showdown: it comes down to this...

Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso ,all have the ability to create these possibilities today, the first since Juan Manuel Fangio to win back-to-back titles in different teams. Or, the first rookie to win the world championship, or the first Ferrari championship in the post-Michael Schumacher era.

Whatever the outcome of today's season finale at Brazil, the 2007 season will go into the history books as a watershed year, packed with drama, triumphs and bitter agonies.

"It's been a great season for McLaren," team chief Ron Dennis, whose outfit after being involved with the biggest spy and fine case in F1 history could clinch their first drivers' championship since 1999, said at Interlagos.

"Things have happened this year that we're not happy with, but we've got competitive racing cars. Overall, I think it's been very positive I just hope there's no more controversy and we can have a good race.

"And then we start to focus on next year."

Before the season is officially over, though, here's a look at the progression of the title battle between the contenders in the first final race three-way showdown since 1986.

Australia

Kimi Raikkonen wins from pole position on his debut for Ferrari, McLaren's double world champion Fernando Alonso is second and Hamilton third on his race debut.
Mclaren goes on to protest that Kimi's ferrari is illegal, car is deemed so, Kimi and Ferrari points stay, but they are forced to change the car ...

Raikkonen 10 points, Alonso 8, Hamilton 6

Malaysia

Alonso chalks up his first win for McLaren, Hamilton secures the one-two and Raikkonen is third. Alonso regains the lead.

Alonso 18, Raikkonen 16, Hamilton 14

Bahrain

Brazilian Felipe Massa wins for Ferrari, Hamilton is second and Raikkonen third while Alonso comes in fifth. There is a three-way tie at the top.

Alonso 22, Raikkonen 22, Hamilton 22

Spain

Massa wins again while battling Alonso on the first lap , Hamilton secures second, while Alonso ends up third . Hamilton takes the lead. Raikkonen does not finish.

Hamilton 30, Alonso 28, Raikkonen 22

Monaco

Alonso reasserts himself and dominats the rookie a McLaren one-two, with Hamilton complaining ( whining ) about team orders, felt he is the second string driver. Raikkonen is eighth.

Alonso 38, Hamilton 38, Raikkonen 23

Canada

Hamilton takes the first win of his Formula One career while Alonso finishes seventh and Raikkonen fifth.

Hamilton 70, Alonso 68, Raikkonen 52

Hungary

The big bust-up of the season, Lewis dis-obeys team orders that would allow Alonso thru in Q3 , this is followed up by pitlane antics that would see Alonso demoted from pole to fifth , The first sign of the FIA wand of protection for Hamilton . Hamilton wins, Raikkonen is second and Alonso fourth.

Hamilton 80, Alonso 73, Raikkonen 60

Turkey

that he was unfairly driven into by Alonso at the start , later recants.....

Japan

Hamilton get's the miracle he needed , when Alonso crashes out, He also avoids any penalties again after creating what many considered as dangerous pace car situations ,goes on to chalk up his fourth win of the season in a hammer blow for Alonso, Raikkonen inherits third after Massa makes an emergency pit stop.

Hamilton 107, Alonso 95, Raikkonen 90

China

Alonso got the miracle he wanted, with rookie Hamilton skidding out into the kitty litter at the pit lane entrance , putting him in that exclusive club he now shares with David Coutlhard, Hamilton's tires where badly worn he seems to use them up at an alarming rate compared to his peers .......

Mclaren lost the WDC in hungary. Alonso could have been WDC fairly easily had RD's - we were racing Alonso - not been happening.

Ferrari won the WDC at first corner in brasil, not in the pits. That is what made the difference with Mclaren. Kimi after race comment - When he got alongside Massa, he could have been more aggressive to get ahead, he kept his calm and went to do his job, there was not point risking taking out his teammate.

Hamilton at first corner went on to attack like a madman, as usual, to try and get ahead of his TEAMMATE. nth mistake from running two drivers against eachother, creating the mess that got them to lose WDC and WCC.

Team orders are not allowed, except for Ferrari I guess. As long as you fake it?

It was superbly executed, Raikkonen made up exactly 3 seconds (including fastest lap of the race) while Massa was pitting.
Fastest Lap Brazilian Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari 1:12.445

Doesn't matter anyway, Mclaren had team orders all season, the difference is that one of their drivers did not bend down, otherwise he would have been WDC. But the wrong WDC.

Don't blame Ferrari's team orders, blame Mclaren team orders.
