    I've got a sneaking suspicion that Hamilton my clinch the title here.

    Ferrari have gone here well in the past, so going to go for an RBR victory with Max as think the fast sweeping corners will favour their chassis and with a better engine this year they won't suffer so much on the long stragihts.

    It's a long shot but he can mathematically just clinch it if everything falls right for him.

    This GP is in red-neck cow country & he's an outspoken black vegan, it could go all JFK.
    Though he'd probably still win the WDC.

    There is only so much corn-on-the-cob he can eat before they suss him out and burn him for being a vegan.

    That's what they do in Texas to vegans, right?

    I think they believe it's a nationality.

    "Vegan? Is that near the country of London?"

    What a waste, there's nothing as delicious than corn-fed meat, it'll just be a different kind of ham in the burger.

    Lewis seems to suggest that his best is yet to come, that his driving is improving still. I also believe Mercedes have been able to avoid using next years upgrades to win the title this year, I suspect they will want to improve their top speed next year since Ferrari and Red Bull will offer a significant challenge from the outset. I have a sneaking suspicion next year may prove to be one of the best before the regs are changed. Would be good to have a non Mercedes WDC but a close fight along the way.

    Its would be classic F1 for the racing to get good just in time for a major rules change.

    yeah, but will it be a close fight on the track, or will it be a case of different teams dominating on different tracks?

    Just seen Claire Williams on Sky F1, what has she down to her face? I was expecting the teeth from the Alien to come shooting out as she was talking and decapitate the interviewer

    A valid concern but I will be the eternal optimist and believe we will have some on track duals, we have seen a few in the last half of this season.
    More pressing right now is my debate whether to go to the pub to watch the Rugby or watch it at home.
