Sir Jackie Stewart reckons Felipe Massa can come back from his Singapore disappointment to win this year's world title.

Stewart's backing for Massa

yeah, it's possible .. but will he?

The weather and pit stops (blunders/lack off) will play a big role, that's all I'm gonna say.

I'd say Sir Jackie is a bit optimistic. It's possible but...
By my reckoning Hamilton has an average finish for the season of 5.06th place. Massa has 6.2 Give that one to Hamilton.

Hamilton has 12 podiums for 84 points, or an average of 7 points per podium. Massa has 10 podiums for 77 points, or 7.7 points per podiums. That one to Massa.

With three races to go, if they continue their average podiums, Massa will fall just a little short. If they continue their average finishes, Hamilton wins hands down.

It's mathematically possible but I think the title is Hamilton's to lose.

remember, Hamilton has shown a remarkable capacity for brain-flatulence.

Yeah, but these are the greatest, most talented race drivers in the entire world, right? Surely he wouldn't fall prey to something like that in the final stretch, would he?

I wrote the statement rather "Tongue-in-cheek." Yep, I recall the faux pas to which you refer. I guess that's why they put erasers on pencils, no?

Massa's average would have been better had it not been for the pit stop blunders and engine failure.

I stand by my previous statement that the title is Hamilton's to lose. Seven points in three races against a driver of Hamilton's caliber (tendency to err aside) is a lot of ground to cover.
