MPH: Mark Hughes on...
Who'd have thought the F1 championship would be decided by who owns the rabbit's foot?
We had a world title showdown go to the wire - and that's what counts, I guess. Lewis Hamilton had a seven-point lead over Felipe Massa with ten to play for at Interlagos, and he clinched it at the last corner of the last lap.
But actually, if we just look back at the merits of each of their seasons, look at when each was denied through no fault of his own, there would have been no title showdown; Massa would have clinched it long ago.
