Dennis 'praying' for no road rage - Fittipaldi

Sep.27 (GMM) Former world champion Emerson Fittipaldi said he can imagine the 2007 title race ending in an eerily-reminiscent bout of formula one road rage.



The 60-year-old Brazilian, who once held the record as the youngest world champion, recalls the Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost era, where crucial championship finales were decided only after collisions.



Fittipaldi said McLaren team boss Ron Dennis will also be anxiously remembering the turbulent Senna-Prost era when he talks over the situation with Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton in the coming days.



"He can talk to them but he will be doing a lot of praying that they do not take each other off," Fittipaldi told the Daily Express.



With three races to go in 2007 and two points separating the battling duo, Fittipaldi is not willing to waste money betting on the eventual winner.



"Fernando is an extremely talented driver," he said. "If you have two world titles, it goes without saying and he really seems to have the momentum which could carry him through the final three races.



"But Hamilton is incredible. I've watched him for a while, long before F1, but no one, not me, not the team, other drivers, not even he could have believed he could be so good so quickly."
