After building a seemingly insurmountable lead Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso now finds himself in the middle of an F1 title scrap with double reigning champion Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel’s win in today’s Japanese grand prix has seen him cut Alonso’s lead from 29 points to just four, after Alonso was forced to retire from the race following a collision with Kimi Raikkonen.
That incident on the first lap spelt the end of Alonso’s dominance of the 2012 season, and now with only five races left both he and Vettel are going for title no.3 and the honour of being known as the greatest active driver. (As Schumacher is retiring at the end of the season)
While Alonso was simply unlucky, Vettel’s win throws the title race wide open again and it’s now almost impossible to predict which of these two will win.
With only five races to go the one thing I can say for certain is that the excitement which has been nominal throughout most of the 2012 season is most definitely back.
