Math ... when 2 plus 2 is not 4.
heading to Turkey GP alonso was leading the championsip with 10 points over MatSumatke. the latter is looking forward to slash the points difference in the wake of Ferrari improvement of speed and tyre reliability.
at the end due to own and team error, MatSumatke only managed to finish the Turkey GP at third position behind Alonso. most of the times during the race, after the 13th laps to be exact, he was tailing alonso and cudnt find the way to overtake him until the chequered flag. he scored 6 points against alonso of 8 points. he is now going back with 12 championship points behind alonso.
what if he manage to overtake alonso and come home second to Massa? he would have reduce the gap to 8 points! thus the real lost opportunity to reduce the gap is actually 4 points instead of 2.
and what if he didn't commit the error in the qualifying and the team didn't make the wrong move during the 13th lap fracas and he come home as the GP winner followed by Massa? he would have slashed the championship gap to 6 points. making the real opportunity lost of 6 points gap. this is actually what he and the team had hope for when they came to Turkey GP. definitely hoping for alonso DNF the race or did not score any championship points is much much better but looking at renault fine reliability as well as the defending champion's credibility of not making any mistake, that hope looks very much slim.
4 GPs are left to go. most of the teams' managers are betting MatSumatke will win the championship. it is a rare achievement that a defending champion is able to hold and keep the title and it will be a tough task for alonso. but he is a very talented driver. no doubt about it. however MatSumatke is also a very talented and a skilled champion he is who have a lot of experiences and GP's tricks under his sleeve.
my money is on MatSumatke to win. the driver that i have been cheered on since 1998. till he seal the championship in his bag i'll have to bear and willing to do some mathematics in my head. this is definitely not 2 plus 2 is 4.
