It is going to be an extremely interesting Thursday FIA Press Conference in Austin later today that I would love to be a fly on the wall for as the two remaining title contenders, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel will both be in attendance.
It is going to be interesting to see if Sebastian will be asked to respond to the comments made by 1997 championship Jacques Villeneuve who accused the German of reacting like a child when things don't go his way.
I would be very interesting to see the body language from the two of them. Fernando is certainly the more chilled out of the two. The obvious explanation for this is the fact that he is the chaser and not being chased. In my opinion, it doesn't seem to take a lot to get Vettel rattled. He is still favourite to win the championship but anything can happen.
The championship challengers will be joined at the press conference by the Lotus driver of Kimi Raikkonen, winner last time in Abu Dhabi Other driver's attending the press conference will be HRT's Pedro Dlea Rosa, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton who was denied a guarnteed victory in Abu Dhabi as a result of technical problems. Sauber's Sergio Perez will also be present. The Mexican, has failed to score a single point since his move to McLaren was announced last month.
The Mexican will be hoping that he can reverse his fortunes in Texas on Sunday.
