Yup, I think he can. But will he? Yung Pole tingin ko yakng-yaka pero yung wins baka kasi maging conservative na sila knowing they have the WDC on wraps!

However, if SV is in pole and is never really under threat, he will definitely go for the win.

Ready ready-han na si RB na mag-retire dahil nagpasabi na si KR na interesadong bumalik next year (sa Williams daw).....

I think Kimi will replace Rubens next year. Rubens is not winning naman eh, so they really won't lose much if Kimi does not win din, but they have everything to gain if he perform well. Kahit hindi great IMO.

SV's car is in tip top shape compared to the rest. I was at the SG GP and Vettels car sounded different from Button's, Alonso's, Webber's and the rest. Iba humiyaw plus really great driving.

What I posted elsewhere (was liveblogging it on another forum):

-----

Vettel wins!

Or that's what I'd be saying if Vettel hadn't gotten a puncture in the very first seconds of the very first lap.

Lewis wins. Hamilton vindicated a little bit here. He drove a brilliant race, controlling the pace and keeping Alonso behind him all race long. But let's be honest... he really lucked out, as Vettel had a huge jump on him at the start.

Alonso did everything right, but he simply didn't have the car. He jumped absolutely everyone at the start and pushed hard to stay with Hamilton, but that win got further and further away from him as the laps went on. Second is great for Ferrari. The driver deserved first.

Button rode good strategy, good pace, good tire conservation and luck to third place. Losing KERS put him in a vulnerable position, but the tangle-up between Webber and Massa let him keep third.

Webber lost it on a strange tire strategy. His three-stopper seemed set to punt him back into fifth or sixth, but Rosberg's ultra-long prime tire stint and Massa's brief stint as drift... errh... donut king gave him back the place.

Is fifth great for Massa? Honestly, yes. But how do you have a competitor with no KERS in front of you and gain no advantage from it? Also, inordinately aggressive defense on Webber shows that Hamilton isn't the only person he's willing to lock wings with. Massa's aggressive curb-hopping, camera wrecking, car-spinning performance wasn't convincing... and only the fact that the rest of the pack was much slower than the Ferrari let him keep his place.

Rosberg does his best, and I guess his best wasn't good enough. Sixth is great, though, compared to Schumacher in the second Mercedes. A bit of argy-bargy between team-mates early on resulted in nothing but Schumacher having to race Sutil (8th) for a bit before sewing up seventh place.

Paul Di Resta shows everyone how to do weird pit strategies. A single pit stop to ninth. Up from starting in... eight. Errh...

Kobayashi, who the race directors ignored all night long, does a great job of overtaking his way all the way up to tenth. Helped, also that everyone else around him was getting beaten black and blue with drive-through penalties for ignoring blue flags. A lot of people deserved black ones, in my opinion.

Fantastic race in parts... terrible in others. Dual DRS zones created more chaos than action. Sad about Vettel's DNF. I really wanted to see a good RBR-McLaren scrap.

Maybe next race.
