Button as champion?

Yesterday's Singapore Grand Prix was great for the Brits. Lewis Hamilton won from flag to finish and Jenson Button was able to extend his lead over Rubens Barrichello by one point.

Those saying that Button is going to be the champion should remember back to 2007. Hamilton had 17 points lead with two races to go and lost by one point, Button's lead is 15 points with three races to go.

It looks like Button will probably win, but don't count your chickens. Interestingly, if the medals system had been brought in as Ecclestone wanted at the beginning of the year, Button would have been crowned yesterday as no-one can now top his 6 victories. Thankfully, that is not in operation and so the championship race is still on...

On other news, it looks like Alonso will be confirmed as a Ferrari driver, Raikkonen back to McLaren, Kubica to Renault, Rosberg to Brawn and Barrichello to Williams. The next few weeks should see the merry go round start.

Squiffy.
