      OK. I see what you did there.

      19. RBR
      20. Vettel. After a ruthless team orders decision allows him to take an extra point, and the title, over Nick Heidfeld. Webber quits in disgust. And as Carcalla accurately predicts, heads to Ferrari—making way for Hamilton, who will have grown tired of getting lapped in the McLaren. Massa does not end up at McLaren though. Paffet gets that seat, while Massa must drive an STR in 2012.
