So with just five race's left in the 2012 season, the big question on everyone's mind is who is going to win the 2012 F1 driver's championship? Heading to Korea this weekend Fernando Alonso has retained his lead over Sebastian Vettel. The Spaniard leads the championship by just 4 points.
Alonso still leads despite retiring from the last race in Japan. Right now with five race's in the next six week's the momentum is currently with Sebastian Vettel and RedBull, the German having won the last two race's in Singapore and Japan. I would love to see Alonso win the championship because it would put an end to Vettel's dominance of the sport well briefly at least.
Last year Vettel won in both Korea and India and the reigning world champion told the media in Korea today that his RedBull team have some small update's for this weekend's race.
I believe that i would be a real shame if Alonso failed to win the championship as he has led for a large portion of the season and to lose it at the end would be very unfortunate. The media are now saying that after Japan the championship has become a two horse race, however in my opinion this is the wrong assumption to make as Kimi Raikkonen still has a mathematical chance of winning this year's title.
The Lotus team have a raft of update's for the race that they hope will help them regain their mid season form.
This season we are course to have a different driver and team winning the championship in that if Fernando Alonso wins the championship, his team Ferrari won't be the Constructor's champions as RedBull Racing are on target to win their third Constructor's championship in a row.
The last time a different team won the championship was in 2008, that season saw McLaren's Lewis Hamilton win the Driver's Championship while Ferrari won the Constructor's Championship.
The championship looks set to go down to the wire in Brazil in a matter of weeks.
