So today's the BIG day!! Formula One returns to the US. The question on everyone's lips is will Sebastian Vettel win the championship today or can Alonso fight back to keep the title alive for the ultimate showdown in Brazil next weekend?
Just to crunch the number's again as a quick reminder, in order to win the championship today Sebastian has to win the race and outscore Alonso by 15 points. It's as simple as that.
It is an uphill climb to the extremely tight turn 1 where there is potential for chaos at the start. I don't want to make any bold predictions just to say that it could be an extremely close fight at the front or Seb could lead into turn 1 and dominate he could go either way.
In any case we will have one championship sorted either way at the end of the race as RBR only need 4 points to clinch the Constructors. But as I always say this is Formula One where anything can happen.
Lewis Hamilton said yesterday that he has no intention of getting in Sebastian's way at the start of the race, however he is going to have to try and get ahead of the RedBull driver from the dirty side of the grid so he is going to have to keep a very close eye on Mark Webber who is starting from 3rd on the clean side. Mark has had very messy starts recently and will hope to slot in behind Sebastian at the start to protect Vettel's lead.
