Mark Webber has rubbished attempts to pre-empt the outcome of the five-driver race to the 2010 title.<\/p>\n
With three races to go, the Australian driver has a comfortable 14 point lead, and a complicated formula devised by a doctor of physics at the UK’s Reading University has tipped Webber to still be in front at the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a Spanish newspaper this week used another probability formula to calculate the percentage changes of the five world championship protagonists<\/p>\n
And even the more mathematically-challenged statisticians have surmised that another win and a couple more podiums will be enough for Webber to guarantee his first title.<\/p>\n
But the 34-year-old said in Korea: “It’s ridiculous to start calculating things because a lot of things can happen.<\/p>\n
“As you say, I win the next two races, it’s all over anyway.\u00a0 Just keep doing our best, that’s the most important thing,” added Webber.<\/p>\n
Rubens Barrichello, meanwhile, echoed a widespread view in the paddock that Webber would be a very popular champion.<\/p>\n
“For some reason, I’m with (supporting) Webber,” the Brazilian said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
“I think since Silverstone, when he spoke his mind and strengthened his position in the team, probably many people think the same,” he revealed.<\/p>\n
