I HATE HATE HATE that Alonso it going to win the title because Red Bull doesn't mind throwing away Webber's one and only chance at a title.

Vettel will probably win 2 or 3 championships in his career... but this is it for Webber, and as F1 is a *team* sport I think his team let him down. And because of it, neither Red Bull driver will get the championship.

Team orders *should* be part of F1. The problem with them was just that Barrichello got owned in the past by orders and it pissed off all the Brazillian fans... but frankly, that's part of F1. F1 sucked in general during the Schumacher era... making team orders illegal wasn't going to fix that.

Webber should be one point back from Alonso right now. The fact that he's not sucks not only for Webber, but it makes Alonso's championship worth that much less since he's leading *because* of team orders in Germany.
