Webber cannot win championship if P6 or lower.
Vettel cannot win championship if P3 or lower.
Hamilton cannot win championship if P2 or lower.

Alonso v. Webber
If: Alonso P1 or P2: Alonso takes the title on points
Alonso P3, P4 or P5: Webber needs to win
Alonso P6, Webber needs P2
Alonso P7 or P8: Webber needs P3
Alonso P9: Webber P4
Alonso P10 or no points: Webber P5

Alonso v. Vettel
If: Alonso P1, P2, P3 or P4, beats Vettel on points
Alonso P5, P6, P7, P8 : Vettel needs to win
Alonso P9, P10: Vettel needs 2nd

Webber v. Vettel
If: Vettel P1: Webber cannot win
Vettel P2: Webber P4 or better

Hamilton:
Must win, Alonso 11th or worse, Webber 6th or worse, and Vettel 3rd or worse.

Here is an excel spreadsheet if you want to play around with the possibilities. Just fill in the finishing positions and it will calculate points and number of wins, seconds, etc. for any countbacks. You can what would have happened if Alonso and Massa didn't swap, or if Vettel and Webber did.

Wow, awesome thanks for that.

Oh but I have to drink some scotch and cokes, chase up a few woman, eat some rich chocolate cake and write a few meaningless posts this week so I may just wait for the race instead,

I will simplify this.

Alonso will win since those 2 RB idiots will not help each other if one of them is drowning and going to die!

It's not too great of a situation for Webber that both he and Vettel need to have immaculate races and sweep 1-2 on a track that they may not even have the better car on.

Let's say it's getting late in the race and Webber is #1 but Alonso is in 2. Is he just screwed with nothing in his power to change things? Or is there anything he can do to assist others in catching up and possibly overtaking Alonso? Has anything like this happened in the past and not been considered against the rules?

Thanks for that, I've tried to rearrange some of those calculations and list them per driver.

If I've miscalculated something, please feel free to point that out!

Alonso
P1 or P2.
P3: Webber P2 or lower.
P4: Webber P2 or lower.
P5: Webber P2 or lower (equal points on P2, wins on race wins). Vettel P2 or lower (equal points on P1, loses due to fourth places).
P6: Webber P3 or lower. Vettel P2 or lower.
P7: Webber P4 or lower. Vettel P2 or lower.
P8: Webber P4 or lower (equal points on P4, wins on race wins). Vettel P2 or lower.
P9: Webber P5 or lower (equal points on P5, wins on race wins). Vettel P3 or lower.
P10: Webber P6 or lower. Vettel P3 or lower.
No score: Webber P6 or lower (equal points on P6, wins on race wins). Vettel P3 or lower (equal points on P3, wins on race wins). Hamilton P2 or lower.

Webber
P1: Alonso P3 or lower.
P2: Alonso P6 or lower. Vettel P2 or lower (equal on P1, Vettel wins on race wins).
P3: Alonso P7 or lower. Vettel P2 or lower.
P4: Alonso P9 or lower. Vettel P2 or lower.
P5: Alonso P10 or lower. Vettel P3 or lower.
P6: Webber cannot outscore Alonso if he finishes sixth or lower.

Vettel
P1: Alonso P5 or lower (equal points on P5, wins on fourth places).
P2: Alonso P9 or lower. Webber P5 or lower.
P3: Vettel cannot outscore Alonso if he finishes third or lower (equal on P3, but loses on to race wins).

Hamilton
P1: Alonso P11 or lower. Webber P6 or lower. Vettel P3 or lower.
P2: Hamilton cannot outscore Alonso if he finishes second or lower.

a funny scenario just popped in my head....

what if running order 5 laps to go at A.Daby was Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Massa, Alonso....

Vettel knowing if the order finishes that way he is champion, but knowing if Massa n Alonso swap....and he doesnt swap with Webber, Alonso is champion.

Ferrari know once they swap, Vettel is gonna be pressured one way or another to swap...so they plan to leave it as late as possible, but then give radio messages like they are not going to swap.

What will Vettel do?

Hope I got the scenario maths right...

All Ferrari need to do in that situation is swap Massa and Alonso on the last lap, after Vettel has crossed the line.

If the double swap (Ferrari followed by RBR) were to happen, then the FIA would certainly face renewed pressure to clarify the team orders rules. And the bookies will not be pleased one bit either.

yea the Ferrari swap is obvious... the question is what would Vettel do.... will he carry on hoping against hope that the inevitable Ferrari swap wont happen and he will be crowned champion? or will he do the safe thing for the team and let Webber thru...

how would C. Horner and co handle such a situation :lol: ....its a ridiculous, yet entirely plausible scenario.
All that hardwork over the year coming down to if Vettel is feeling charitable enough or not :lol:

The RB6 will be fine, Abu Dhabi is like Singapore but without the bumps. What should worry Vettel and Webber the most, IMO, is that there seems to be very little that Hamilton and Button can do. The Red Bull pair is probably on their knees praying for McLaren's updates and whatever to hit the groud running like hell for once.

The most amusing permutation, to me, is if the running positions in the final laps are;

1. Webber
2. Vettel
3. Hamilton
DNF. Alonso

Highly unlikely I know, but what do RB do? Webber ain't moving over regardless of the instructions from the pit wall and would they even ask him to? Whichever RB crosses the line first picks up the WDC but if they repeat Turkey then Hamilton could picks up the pieces.

I realise that this isn't going to happen, but a lot of the supposition is for Vettel to be ahead of Webber on the road. If it is the other way round, and Alonso is out then we will see the mettle of RB.

If Alonso has an engine failure the Bulls will fight like hell to the finish line. Vettel is the faster of the drivers and he has the fresher engine. It would need another mistake or technical failure from him to miss out on the championship. It would be poetic justice for Alonso to miss at least the seven points he gained illegitimately by a technical failure or team screw up in Abu Dhabi. I would like that to happen.

Is there anything at all that RBR can legitimately do in the case that Alonso is behind one of their drivers but in a position where will win WDC if positions don't change? Do they just have to drive to the finish and lose the championship? Would it be illegitimate and/or prohibited for them to do something like drive only just fast enough to make it difficult for Alonso to overtake while being slow enough for whoever is behind him to catch him and attempt their own overtake? Has this kind of thing ever happened before?

Imagine, for example, Webber leading Alonso 1-2. Can they deliberately do anything to promote the chances of whoever is immediately behind Alonso catching him and overtaking?

I would love to see something like this. I consider if fair game and not even cheating.


And what if Webber is leading with Vettel second and perhaps a few seconds ahead of Alonso?

Will Ferrari ask Massa to drop back and then hold Webber up when he comes to lap him? If I was Massa, I'd do that. Who cares about 4 blue flags.

In fact, now that I think about it, I really don't see the problem with Crashgate at all. Team tactics. No cheating involved.

RBR just need to get Webber in front if they are running 1-2 with Alonso in 3rd, then Webber will take the title. But regarding your question, Schumacher held up Hakkinen considerably at Sepang in 1999 so Irvine could build a gap and go on to win the race without problems, however no one were able to overtake Hakkinen despite Schumachers defensive driving as far as I know.

actually, its not as implausible as it may seem...

anything short of Alonso taking pole n leading after the first lap, and we have squeaky bum drama time...

I have the feeling it will be a funny GP...n how it unfolds will be much less than straightforward.

Would be even better if we could get Glock (or another driver) involved. :p F.i. Fernando's out, Seb and Mark take each other out.

Other driver (non Ferrari or McLaren) in the lead, Hamilton second. Last lap is out, last corner leader makes a mistake, Hamilton takes the crown. That way we could have a cheering crowd in the Ferrari pit box again (Nando included) before seeing their faces turn sour! Imagine the animated gifs :clap:

But Alonso could do that voluntarily. Imagine that 5 laps to the end, they go 1st Vettel, 2nd Webber, 3rd Alonso, 4th Hamilton, 5th Massa. Then Alonso could move to the side and let Hamilton and Massa pass, staying at 5th. That way, he would prevent Vettel from swapping with Webber. Then, after Vettel crosses the line, Alonso re-passes Massa and finishes 4th, taking the WDC.

If he did that, this forum would explode, provoking a singularity and destroying the Universe.

That would be the most spectacular ending of a season ever.

I assume RB will do nothing in there so Vettel and Webber would have to fight for the W.

Everyone knows that in this scenario Massa will move over and hand the title to Alonso. Everyone also knows that RBR will not instruct Vettel to move over. So it all comes down to what Vettel wants to do and what information the team give him so that he can make his decision.

exactly, that is the point...it will be Vettels call.

or imagine this scenario... they are running in this order

Vettel
Webber
Alonso
Hamilton...

very realistic right?

Vettel is clearly faster than Webber...

5 laps to go, Vettel grudgingly swaps with Webber...3 laps to go, Alonso's engine blows!... Vettel realizes he can win if he overtakes Webber, he tries hard, Webber defends hard. They both crash.

Hamilton wins the WDC by leading the race to the chequered flag behind the safety car :rotfl:

IMO the only pickle for RB would be a situation like Vettel - Webber - Hamilton - Button - Alonso with Alonso on Button's gearbox or something. Then it's a conundrum for them cause do they swap them or do they let Button effectively decide the outcome of the championship, sorta kinda Glock did in 08.

But then there is an another twist - the safety car comes in with just a lap to go. Hamilton leads just ahead of Massa.
And now it is up to Massa to have a go on Hamilton giving the championship to Alonso....

My hunch is that Vettel will get pole and control the race and that the battle between Webber and Alonso for second place on the grid and into the first corner will decide the championship. Webber has struggled to match Vettel for pace since Monza, albeit some times he’s been only a tenth off in qualifying. He needs to raise his game and go out and take it this weekend, otherwise Alonso will have him.

:up: +1

I believe that the most likely scenario's for each to win the WDC are

Webber
RBR
RBR
ALonso/hamilton
Alonso/hamilton

DOesn' matter what order, most like to happen over all scenarios, rbr quali ahead, run one two, alonso and hamilton behind, either webber wins, or the make the switch for webber to win.

Alonso
RBR
Alonso
RBR

Basically alonso divides the RBRs, wonder if since neither RBR can win this way, the front RBR backs alonso into the 2nd RBR to assist with an overtake.

Vettel
Vettel
----
Alonso DNF

Alonso will be in top 4 on speed, so they onyl way he wont be is if he has troubles and dnf's. Vettel would have to win or webber would have to have problems. A hamilton vettel webber with alonso DNF would be a webber WDC.

Hamilton
Hamilton
---
Webber DNF
Vettel DNF
Alonso DNF

If those three finish they are going to pick up too many points for hamilton to win.



So that's basically it, 5 scenarios, rbr rbr with alonso behind is webber, vettel win alonso dnf is vettel, alonso 1st/2nd is alonso, hamilton vettel webber is webber and hamilton needs to grab a ferrair and rbr doll and start his voodoo to win
