Well pulse, it looks as though we were wrong - Brawn have come back. I now think Button will take it out and that the championship will finish, barring deliberate accidents to bring out safety cars, etc., with the top 4 in the same positions they are now. Webber may catch Vettel, but I think Vettel is the better driver. I think it's great that we are guaranteed that the winner of this year's drivers championship is going to be from outside of last year's top 7 drivers.

I am glad McLaren performed well at Monza - a non KERS track (I know they only got 3 points, but they were at the front of the grid and even Kovalainen was on the second row, plus Lewis was pushing for 2nd and if he hadn't crashed they would have gotten 8, possibly 10, points for the day). Given that next year's rules are virtually the same as this year's, it could be an exciting season next year with at least 4 manufacturers competing at the front of the grid (Brawn, Red Bull, McLaren and Ferarri).

Although I will follow the remaining races, the real interest for me now is who will drive for which team next year (Ferarri may have 4 drivers - Raikonnen, Massa, Fisichella and Alonso - and 2 test drivers under contract ), what engines each of the teams will have (McLaren may not be Merc powered next year! ), and who, if anybody, is going to be running BMW Sauber.
