If the Ham takes Felipe out in the next 2 races he becomes champion... I wouldn't want to see it coming down to that. Would you?Quote:

No they shouldn't. He should lose it by himself, because he DOES NOT deserve to be world champion.
A world champion doesn't do to other drivers what he does to them.
I agree! He isn't World Champion Material!

Let's all hold thumbs!!
Former F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has cast doubt on Lewis Hamilton's title bid, insisting Robert Kubica is most deserving of the crown.
McLaren driver Hamilton leads his closest rival Felipe Massa of Ferrari by five points and BMW Sauber's Kubica by 12 with two races to go.
"The one who really deserves it now is Kubica," Villeneuve told BBC Sport.
"He has not been in as good a car as either Felipe or Lewis yet he has produced a season without mistakes."
Hamilton saw his lead at the top of the drivers' standings cut by two points after he finished 12th and Massa seventh at last week's Japanese Grand Prix.
The pair collided as Hamilton tried to pass Massa on the second lap at the Fuji Speedway and the Englishman later accused the Brazilian of deliberately running into him.
Hamilton is without a victory since the German Grand Prix seven races ago and has shown signs that he is feeling the pressure.
Kubica, meanwhile, has claimed top-10 finishes in 13 of the 16 races this season and showed all of his trademark calmness in finishing second in Japan.
Lewis has been told for many years that he's the best in the world - at some point you end up believing that
Jacques Villeneuve
"It's exciting because three guys can win it and we thought there could only be two," Villeneuve told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.
"Both Hamilton and Massa have been making mistakes towards the end of the season that have let Kubica come back, which has made it more exciting for everyone."
Hamilton's victory at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix handed him a 12-point championship lead with two races remaining in his debut season.
The 22-year-old then retired in China and finished seventh in Brazil as Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen came through to take the title.
"Hamilton is extremely fast, there's no doubt about that," said Villeneuve.
"A lot will depend on whether he wins the championship this year or not because last year he had it in his hands and threw it away at the end of the season.
"This year he's got it in his hands with two races to go so we'll see how it pans out.
"He's been thrown in very young and been told for many years that he's the best in the world.
"At some point you end up believing that and I guess that happens to most drivers at some point in their careers."
"I wouldn't have been happy in (Hamilton's) shoes but, at the same time, I'm sure he's done moves like that in his career and it's part of racing," he said.
"We've all done those as racers where you badly judge where you'll end up and that's part of racing.
"They've both been making mistakes right now, which has been amazing, but you have to say the penalties that they've both been getting have been a little bit surprising.
"It's really strange because once you start giving penalties away you just have to keep giving more and more and where do you cut the line?
"I think it's alright for a driver to try something, make a mistake and bad luck if it takes other drivers out with him, that's racing - as long as it wasn't done dangerously on purpose to take someone out."
