Will Lewis Hamilton throw away the world champsionship on a bone head move?
The guy can't seem to get away from making bone head moves driven by emotional decisions on the track. Will he throw it away or won't he?

I voted 50/50. His last race's 1st corner really was a bonehead move.
He had 2nd place behind Kimi secured, Heikki was behind and not close enough to challenge, and more importantly, MASSA & KUBICA were behind so all he had to do was to play safe and slop behind Kimi, then later see how everything goes, maybe be able to pass Kimi for the win, if not, settle for 2nd since Massa would've been maybe 4th had Heikki's engine not blown (at the start of the race, you assume everyone's engine lasts).
He talks that he won't screw up and after last year (especially when racing with Alonso for nothing), you'd think he has learned but then you see last race and it makes you wonder.
I know this is far fetched but I hope he does "Hamilton's" and Kubica sneaks from behind to take the title!

I do not think so since the two have nothing in common: Hamilton is a skilled driver and involved in the purest form of capitalism(PAY FOR PERFORMANCE). Obama is a Marxist, has been friends with a domestic terrorist for years having more in common with Castro than JFK

LOL... I'd love to see Kubica surprise both of them, but I'm expecting (and rather hoping, rather than Hamilton) for Massa to take it. Seems to me that Massa really has put in his time, studied hard, and is worthy - Hammy's just too immature yet IMO (as his on-track performance continues to show).
This despite my lack of caring for SF... though listening to Ron Dennis this year (talking about other teams and drivers), I'd rather love to see him eat his hat... he really needs a filter between the brain and the mouth! No wonder he gets along so well with Hammy.

That was a hard choice [unlike the election, which is hard only for those who have trouble dealing with reality].
Hammie should have it locked up, but his decisions in the heat of the last few races last year plus some more of what looks like the same at Fuji make it less than certain. He has the car, he has the team, the question remains - does he have the temperament to win the WDC?
