Red Bull will be champion in Korea if
Now that Sebastian Vettel has claimed the world driver's championship title, his team could do the same at the South Korean circuit of Yeongam with the constructors' standings. casinoenligne.uk.com invites you to discover some scenarios that would allow Red Bull to become the constructors' world champion for the second consecutive year.
With currently a 130-point lead over McLaren and with a maximum of 129 constructor points remaining to be distributed in the last three races, Red Bull will be crowned world constructors’ champion at the next Korean Grand Prix if it concedes no more than one point to its rivals from Woking, on the Yeongam circuit.
Thus, if the two Red Bulls finish ahead of the two McLarens, the Austrian team will be assured of the title, but this situation has only occurred four times this season, in Turkey, Valencia, Great Britain, and Belgium. Nevertheless, due to the current F1 scoring system, Red Bull has scored more points than McLaren 11 times this year, allowing the range of possible and conceivable scenarios to broaden.
Red Bull could, for example, be guaranteed to become world champion, regardless of McLaren’s result, if it wins the race and its second driver finishes no worse than 6th place. This situation has occurred eight out of the nine times Red Bull has won, the exception being the Italian Grand Prix where Mark Webber was forced to retire. Thus, considering the season’s hierarchy, which has generally seen the same six drivers in the top six positions, and barring any incidents, a victory for Red Bull would almost certainly mean triumph in the constructors’ standings.
Then, if Red Bull does not win the race, the situation is much more complex, since several factors come into play, particularly the performance of Fernando Alonso, winner of the Korean Grand Prix in 2010 and the only driver this season to consistently disrupt the rivalry between Red Bull and McLaren.
The performance of the Spaniard – and his teammate – will be all the more worth watching as Scuderia seeks to maintain its hopes of second place in the constructors’ standings, currently trailing McLaren by 96 points. However, the men from Maranello are now assured of the 3rd place they currently occupy, ahead of Mercedes.
Note, on the driver side, that Sebastian Vettel is the only one to be mathematically assured of his place in the championship. The major stake at the end of this season will lie in the battle for the honorary title of vice-world champion, which four drivers still have a chance to claim. Unlike Lewis Hamilton, who has “only” an 88-point lead over Felipe Massa—while 100 points are yet to be distributed—Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, and Mark Webber are assured of finishing, at worst, in fifth position in the driver standings.
