The problem'll be, that regardless of the decision, there'll probably be appeals, especially if the other teams aren't able to up their performance significantly by then.

1. Jenson Button - Brawn Mercedes
   
2. Felipe Massa - Ferrari
   
3. Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes

7. Jarno Trulli - Toyota
   
8. Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber
   

I doubt Button is going to win again but it's hard not to put him up top.
