How 'Your Man' Can Win the Title...
- Published on Nov 9th, 2010 by Adam Milleneuve
...that is, assuming that you're backing one of the four remaining title challengers - so with the season going down to the final race in Abu Dhabi, all eyes turn to the numbers and who needs to finish where on Sunday relative to their rivals. With four drivers fighting it out it's more bonkers than normal, so rather than you work it out, Badger's here with out trusty abacus to work it all out for you...
Alonso will be Champion if...
- He wins on Sunday.
- He finishes 2nd on Sunday.
- He finishes 3rd and Webber doesn't win.
- He comes 4th and Webber is 2nd or less.
- He comes in 5th neither Vettel or Webber win.
- He finishes 6th, Vettel is 2nd and Webber 3rd.
- He's 7th or 8th, Vettel is second or worse, Webber 4th or worse.
- He's 9th, Vettel is 3rd or worse, Webber 5th or worse.
- He doesn't finish, Hamilton is 2nd or worse, Vettel is 3rd or worse, Webber 5th or worse.
Webber will be champion if...
- He wins and Alonso is 3rd or worse
- He comes 2nd, Vettel 3rd or worse and Alonso 6th or worse
- He comes 3rd, Vettel 2nd or worse, Alonso 7th or worse
- He comes fourth, Vettel 2nd or worse, Alonso 9th or worse
- He finishes 5th, Vettel's 3rd or worse, Alonso is 10th or worse
Vettel will be champion if...
- He wins and Alonso is 5th or worse
- He comes 2nd, Webber is 5th or worse and Alonso is 9th or worse
Hamilton will be champion if...
- He wins, Vettel is 3rd or worse, Webber is 6th or worse and Alonso doesn't come in the top 10
For the full workings out for these different permutations, you're welcome to download and have a play with this spreadsheet, created by Rob Tsintas and sent in to Badger's HQ - Last Race Combinations Spreadsheet

Comments and Discussion
Not looking good for Seb or Lewis. Bad times
I think my spreadsheet is easier to follow!
By the way, a couple of amendments needed to Alonso's section above:
- you missed out: Alonso 10th, Vettel 3rd or worse, Webber 6th or worse
- corrections needed on the next line: Alonso doesn't SCORE, Hamilton 2nd or worse, Vettel 3rd or worse, Webber SIXTH or worse
There's a great championship calculator at another another popular F1 site, where all the permutations can be checked on a click & drag interface... but I don't know if I'm allowed to mention THEM on here!
I'll re-tweet the link instead...
Top cartoon ... your kerbs look like candy cane!
All these 'if's and 'providing's and 'unless's always make me think of John Cleese as the schoolteacher in 'The Meaning of Life'....

Just the first bit obviously - stop watching before it gets rude, kids.
It was a quick, rapid effort! It's fun though!
some people feel intimidated by spreadsheets!
thanks for the corrections lad - will make though shortly...
fantastic!
like the disclaimer too, yes, switch off kids!
Indeed, but hey, they've still got a chance - Sunday will be epic...

That's ace - thanks for sharing tahiche! - everyone should see this interactive guide to the championship...http://www.marca.com/2010/11/07/motor/formula1/1289160661.html
Oh and you can mention 'them' all you like, it's fine with us - Keith does a great job with F1F
In that case, here it is:

Although the link below has the added advantage of fancy pictures and a headline that isn't very nice about Alonso (at first glance!).
Wow, look at the details if we have 1st Vettel; 2nd Webber and 5th Alonso:

see how CLOSE it finishes!!!
Ok, that is cool - it worked.
For information, the image thinggy works with the full URL,ie, with "http://"
I have to correct my comments, this would be the result if in Yas Marina the results would be:
1st Vettel; 2nd Webber and 5th Alonso.
corrected!
