Re: Why its Hamilton vs. Alonso vs. Vettel for 2012 WDC!

I believe its Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel for the title and Kimi is the long shot I feel Kimi is the long shot, despite being second in the championship, purely because the car is jack of all trades and master on none. He will score high and consistently but the win needed to catch Alonso will elude hi...
