2008 F1 World Champion?

15 races down, 3 to go: Japan, China and Brazil
Hamilton 84pts, Massa 77pts (+7), Kubica 64pts (+20), Raikkonen 57pts (+27)

Lewis Hamilton (McLaren): he may not be as consistent this year compared to his debut season but Hamilton is once again the leading championship contender and possibly a more mature driver. In particular, he was in P3 behind Rosberg in the Singapore GP and running faster but decided to play it safe anyway now that his title rivals are out of the points. Last year, he'd probably push the car to its limits and do whatever it takes to get that position... as his tyres wear out. Oh yeah, his tyres issues haven't been quite resolved.

Felipe Massa (Ferrari): People never thought Massa was championship material but this season, for sure, he proved them wrong. After miserably failing to finish the first two races this season, the Brazilian bounced back in tremendous fashion reaching the podium in the next 4 races with 2 wins. But he is still a little rain-shy after spinning no less than 6 times during the British GP!

Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber): Whenever a McLaren or Ferrari fails, Kubica is usually there to pick up the points. It's not all through luck though. The Pole has been consistently fast and reliable finishing in the points most of the time. Problem is, BMW is clearly off the pace of McLaren and Ferrari.

Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari): The reigning world champion said that the title hunt is over. But remember what happened last year? He made up 17 points in the last 2 races to take the title. This year is a little different though. He’s been scoreless in the last 4 races due to plain bad luck and driver error. With only 30 possible points left to the season, the only way he can keep his hopes alive is if Hamilton doesn’t score any more than 3 points in the next 3 races.

So who do you think will win? You can also tip on who you want to win!
