...snatched last year's title by a point, squeezing out feuding McLaren teammates Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton by winning in Brazil. "Team-mates" can be an empty word in F1.

As a two-time world champ and McLaren's senior driver, the emotional Alonso could be excused for failing to share in the sport's enthusiasm for Hamilton's stunning rookie year.

Whether that champion is Harvard or Yale (or both) has yet to be determined. Dartmouth met the Crimson on Saturday with just a single Ivy loss for the first time...
