    Five races to go, who do you thinks gonna win the title?

    Its too hard to call for me, Schumacher has got so much experience with battling out for the title in the last few races so its looking like he could get his 8th title, we'll see how Alonso copes with the pressure but Schumacher has got nothing to lose and Alonso.... well.... you know how it goes. What do ye think?

    I reckon Michael will scrape it but just one retirement and it as good as hands Alonso the title really.

    I'd like to think it'll end with some real racing between the two but I just can't see it happening, Michael will dominate when bridgestone are faster and Alonso will dominate when Michelin are faster, I think the difference is that Fernando has been struggling more and falling back further when the tyres are off, Michael has a way of fighting his way to second.

    Schumacher has had the benefit of the faster car for the last few rounds, unless Renault can respond Schumacher will have little trouble wrapping up the title.

    IIrc schumi seldom comes out on top in last round/penultimate round head to heads.
    1994 - he shoved hill off and won.
    1995 he dominated so no showdown
    1996 he didnt have a car
    1997 he lost to JV
    1998 he lost to Hakkinen, stalled on grid etc
    1999 he lost a leg
    2000 he beat hakkinen fairly (i think) for once
    2003 Kimi and Jpm had a go.
    the rest were walkovers...
    That said, I think he will win it. Alonso looks wobbly under pressure, not racing pressure, but general weekend pressure.
    One thing is for sure, schumi need not drive like last weekend or alonso will defo win it.
