Will Sebastian take the title in Texas?

So the big question on everyone's mind is with two race's to go in 2012 can Sebastian Vettel win the championship in Texas next weekend or will Fernando Alonso drag it out to a final race showdown in Brazil? So last weekend in Abu Dhabi, Seb had a dismal weekend. His RedBull team under fuelled him for the final part of qualifying and he was forced to start from the pitlane after stopping out on track.

However he recovered brilliantly finishing the race on the podium in third place behind Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso. He is now 10 points ahead of Alonso with two race's to go. By finishing second Fernando was able to close the gap to Vettel by three points.

So here's how it stands heading to Texas, Sebastian Vettel is leading the championship on 255 poiints with Fernando Alonso on 245 points. Now Seb can wrap up the title in Texas IF he manages to outscore Fernando by 15 points, however the only way he can manage to do that is if Alonso fails to finish the race.

In my opinion, we are heading for a title decider in Brazil and as is often the case in Brazil there is a very strong possiblity that it could rain over the course of the race weekend and I believe that if this happens that this could play into Alonso's hands as he is able to get the best out of the Pirelli wet weather tyre's.

So as I say I don't believe that Vettel will wrap up the title in Texas, however I believe that RedBull will wrap up the Constructor's Championship in Austin.

It is also very possible that we could have a very dramatic fight on our hands for third in the championship as McLaren and Lotus are separated by 30 point's now I know that sounds like a very big margin and in someways it is however with two race's to go their are still a maximum of 50 point's up for grabs and the momentum is very much with Lotus at the moment as the team took victory in Abu Dhabi granted with a bit of luck, but that's the name of the game right? It's all about being in the right place at the right time and a win is still a win no matter how it comes, and I was delighted to the ICEMAN back on the top step of the podium.

It was also great to see that the three top team's RedBull, Ferrari and McLaren all seemed genuinely pleased that the Enstone team took their first win as Lotus which to me just shows that behind all the politics and rivalries in the sport there is great sportsmanship amongst the team's.

It was also fantastic to see that with Kimi's win on Sunday we have had 8 different winner's this season and the top five team's in the championship have all taken wins which in my opinion is great because all the team's in the top five can say that they deserved to finish where they did in the championship. However with two race's to go there is still a lot to play for and I have no doubt that F1 2012 will trow up a few more surprises.
