Tension at Monza

So Button couldn't hold on, and Alonso overtook for the lead via the pits. A shame for fans of Button, but crucially, the championship is still wide open, with the points now standing at:

The green highlights those still able to win
the championship, with 25 points
for a win, and therefore a maximum
of 125 points left, with 5 races left

It means that there are still 8 drivers who could win the championship, with Kubica having to win the next 5 races to do so. A championship this open means that there is still all to play for, with the top 5 covered by just 24 points, one point less than just one race win. Jenson Button could've been higher, and in third, had he held 1st. However, we could still end up with either a new champion, or the 2008 or 2009 champion winning it again.

Exciting stuff for F1 fans, and it all means that the championship could very much go down to the wire.
