And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

I think with the tracks left on the season, Lotus should be stong. As long as they get qualifying figured out, I pick Kimi to win it. I know it's a long shot, but the Lotus chassis has been very consistant this years. They've just had too many little mistakes in strategy and on the track. He needs a win very soon if this is going to happen.

they are looking good and Grosjeans race pace in silverstone was amazing!! if they had a better strategy system then they would definitely been on the podium
as for Kimi he has made a good comeback and i think he could (with work) be a contender for the championship
and im not too sure about Hamilton i mean he is still as fast but i think Mclaren are holding him up and for some reason the car seems to have got worse!!

I have never said those words but i have thought those words more then once this year.

unfortunately for me (red bull supporter) i think you may be right Alonso has a very good chance but i dont think that because of the rain at silverstone we have seen the true potential of the updated RB8.....

its fairly close now between mark and Alonso Vettel still has a chance but needs to stop crying and actually get things done haha
i mean i love Seb but he needs to mature

Hamilton will eventually catch up & so will Vettel in terms of wins/points.
But Webber is a big '?' for me. Thing about Webber is that he isn't exactly...fast. He's steady. And F1 isn't much about that. I'm guessing that he'll end up on 3rd or th by the final round. And if RBR have any chances of winning the construtors this year, it'll be on account of Webber having a pretty consistant season so far.
I would like for Alonso to win and have 3 WDCs, but I think RBR will continue to steamroll the competition meaning Webber or Vettel will probably win the title. Perhaps RBR will be like Mclaren and fail to get a WDC hat trick resulting in a WDC for Ferrari.
With the way that the season has been progressing, I'm going to put it as so:
WDC: Alonso
WCC: Red Bull
With Alonso having already done what we were all hoping wouldn't happen so soon (repeat GP winner), he and Ferrari will do everything in the their power to maintain consistent podiums, if not wins outright.
With Red Bull back on the march based on their race pace in Valencia and Silverstone, both Webber and Vettel should be fighting for podiums consistently again. However, this means that they take points away from each other, rather than the 2011 No.1 and No. 2 statuses. So Red Bull will get their WCC, but perhaps not the WDC.
With the latter half of the season, I hope the teams continue to mix it up (with perhaps a Sauber win, Lotus win, maybe another Williams win, Caterham first points). As the development-battle takes effect, I really only see Lotus (and maybe Mercedes) challenging for the win against RBR/Mcl/Ferrari.
I'm picking Kimi, because he is only 10 points behind Hamilton (long shot). If Mclaren gets up to speed, its likely to be a 5 way fight between Vettel Webber Alonso Hamilton and Kimi. Remembering back to 2009 mid season Hamilton and Kimi scored the most points, we'll see what happens
