2012 Grand Prix of USA

Looks like Ferrari has found a potential gearbox problem with Massa. Coincidentally, if they make the change Alonso moves up one position and to the clean side of the grid.

The only way I see that happening is if Ferrari managed to lure Newey as well, but I believe this will be Adrian's last gig.

Good race by Lewis. Nice to see his car last for a race distance.

F*CK Red BUll and Christian Horner bitching about it on the grid. It was within the rules, every team should use the rules to their maxiumum (like Red Bull's illegal flexing nose and front wing)
F*CK Horner and Vettel for bitching about backmarkers costing them the race. Lewis had Vettel's number and drove a sterling race. Good for Lewis

Hamilton always does well on a new track and I tip him for the win. Alonso will push like mad to get up there, but in the end, Vettel will play conservative knowing he can't DNF and could wrap up both championships by Sunday.
Kimi will party with the University of Texas coeds and be more legendary than ever

Good to see Hammy win a final race for McLaren........much change in that team me thinks.
Great racing down the field........all clean fun.............nice job Austin, excellent looking facility.
Now Kimi is off looking for one of those black cowboy hats, preferably with a blonde underneath and a drink in her hand

Nothing is illegal about redbull's nose or wing. Its called being innovative. While fabricating a reason to bump your number one driver up the grid and to the clean side of the track just because it is technically within the rules is not in the spirit of racing. It is shameful and a very sorry way to gain an advantage but one wouldn't expect any less from Ferrari.

OK, if my math is correct....
Given the new points system:
1st : 25 points
2nd : 18 points
3rd : 15 points
4th : 12 points
5th : 10 points
6th : 8 points
7th : 6 points
8th : 4 points
9th : 2 points
10th : 1 point
and a 5-3 lead in wins (Vettel wins any tie breaker) and a 13 point lead heading into Brazil:
Alonso must finish 3rd (15points) and Vettel must score no more than 1 point (10th)
Alonso must finish 2nd (18points) and Vettel must score no more than
4 points (8th)
Alonso must finish 1st (25 points) and Vettel must score no more than 10 points (5th)
If Alonso does not podium, it doesn't matter where Vettel finishes.
It's in the bag. With all the updates Ferrari is bringing, Massa's gearbox seal failing again if he out qualifies Alonso in Brazil, Luca is guaranteed to have his World Driving Championship for Sauber...I mean Ferrari.
