Mathematically , it is not over - but realistically it is all over now .

Vettel would need to have a few DNF's and Alonso winning those races .

The laws of probability says that wont happen .

Lets just hope the others can come up with cars next season that are at least on par with Red Bull

The last thing we want is a period where Red Bull wins each season for a long period of time ; like Ferrari did with Shumacher

I think that next season could give us a good battle between Red Bull and Ferrari, though the drivers could split the points, with Nico Rosberg being a outside chance as top driver. This season is Red Bull's and Vettel's - 99% certain, unless he has a crash and breaks a leg (say). As a Vettel fan I do hope not !!

I cant say i'm a Vettel fan - however i would not like to see someone else win the championship , because of injury to him - i dont think any other driver would neither.

I'm sure they would like to win it , with all the contenders in play
I like Vettel as a person but not as a racer. Despite (what will certainly be) 4 back to back world titles he is still unproven. His problem is he doesn't race to a win he just drives quickly from the front. When he has been called upon to 'race' he makes errors e.g. Button in Canada or with Alonso at Monza or even with his own teammate.

Could Vettel take a Ferrari from 7th to 2nd at Singapore? I very much doubt it.
So Mattk.........you obviously cant or dont want to remember Brazil 2012!
4 back to back, not proven! doesn't race to win!, Right oh! who has most wins? who has most poles? who has most fastests laps? who's led the most laps? If this is not racing to win I'd like to see what your view of racing to win is mattk! Selective memory there methinks! As much as I find him and his performances tedious he has more than proved himself to be the current best.
....well said that man
All of the above is true except Bazile's remark about "the laws of probability".

Probability has nothing to do with it. Probability deals with random events such as tossing a coin or spinning a roulette wheel. There is nothing random about the results of F1 races (or indeed most other sporting events). It is about form, ability and superiority over one's opponents. If horse races were subject to the "laws of probability" and a series of races between a cart horse and a thoroughbred were organised, the carthorse should win a few of the races. But of course it won't.
This season and the last couple have been so boring with Vettel's domination. F1 hasn't been exciting since Schumacher's Ferrari days, hopefully Kimi's move to them next season will bring some style back to the circuit. That's my opinion anyway.

NJ - dont get so steamed up under the collar over a phrase .

I think that most woud know what i meant - i.e. it is unlikely (but not impossible ) that vettel will have several DNF's and Alonso who is his nearest rival at the moment , will win all those races to contribute to vettel not retaing the championship
I've lost interest in F1 as it appears to be all about tyre strategy and optimum pitting windows.
