With only six races to go in the 2010 Formula One Championship season, it’s time for the big teams to make some difficult decisions and pick a preferred driver for the remainder of the season to maximize the team’s chances of taking out the championship.

Leading in to the Belgian Grand Prix, there were five drivers who were in a position—some better than others—to take out the championship with both McLaren and Red Bull drivers being joined by Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso as the outside chance.

Coming out of the race, everything has changed. Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber have opened up clear breaks on their respective teammates. Both now have over a full race win advantage and surely must now be anointed as their team’s No. 1 driver.

At Red Bull, the decision is seemingly very easy. Despite statements from the team earlier this year after the Turkish Grand Prix and some shenanigans around preferential treatment with access to newly developed parts at Silverstone, Webber has taken a clear step forward and established himself as the team’s best hope to take out the championship.

It may well be that Sebastian Vettel has more raw talent than Webber, but his inconsistency, rash decisions and propensity to crash has destroyed his chances for success this year. His race at Spa merely served to underline the already widespread belief that his impetuousness would cost him the championship.

The manoeuvre that Vettel pulled which lead to the collision with Jenson Button defies explanation. It was an extremely aggressive move which ended with Button’s car out of the race and Vettel heading in for one of five trips to the pits for the race. He was to pit at least once more for puncturing his tyre in a later overtaking effort that went wrong.
