Driver’s Championship

There is only Brazil GP left before the race ends. The top is Hamilton, he has 84 points, the second is Massa, 79 points, the third is Kubica, 72points, the fourth is Raikkinen, he became the world champion last season, and he has 63 points. I expected him to become the world champion two times in a row, but he can’t. The rookie Hamilton who belongs to Mclaren and Massa who belongs to Ferrari are competing for world champion this season. If Hamilton becomes the world champion, he can be the sport’s youngest title holder. Brazil is Massa’s home country, so he probably wants to be the champion in his home country, Brazil. I’m looking forward to seeing Brazil GP. When Michael was racing, Alonso beat him and became the champion two times in a row. In those days Alonso was rookie but now he is expert. He shows off his ability in Singapore GP, Japan GP, and Chine GP. Next season, Alonso is in Renault or not? Many teams want him. Next season Alonso may be able to be the world champion again.
