At this stage in the season it could all turn around/look different in just one race couldn't it?

In 07/08 initially you wouldn't have had odds on for Kimi to win- it was all LH/FA - it was only the latter third onwards it gradually eeked the other way to Kimi's favour.

So it could still be Britneys or Vettel's show.
It was along time ago but weren't Kimi, Fernando and Lewis tied for the championship lead after the 1st 3 races in 07?

I think 10/1 on Nico is pretty poor saying that since Spa 11 races ago he has only beaten Lewis once and if you treat Abu Dhabi as normal points Lewis has scored 261 vs 163 for Nico

LH is making it look easy, when your up against the top driver in the top car, you need something magical in the bag which I have never seen from NR

Nico has out qualified Lewis for Spanish GP. I reckon Lewis will just drive around him (again) after he puts pressure on and then pull away. That's when he'll break him once and for all!

You know sadly I was thinking similar. If he does, Nico just knows that no matter what he does, unless Lewis has a car failure, he is going to get past....

A different era, but Senna was close. Until we have seen all of Lewis' career it will be hard to judge, as some have had "completed careers" and others not.

Schumacher's early career is similar to Lewis, in the first full season until 2006 he had wins in every season. Lewis might be the same.

Just because I think it is a bit sad that someone tries their best and gets trounced. Mind, once he accepts he is not going to beat Lewis I suspect they will both be happier..

The great Brian Clough once said.....'with disagreements with players, we talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right'

That's just how I see Lewis and Nico

Hopefully after another wdc this year he moves to another team and gets another wdc. I'd like to see him against Vettel at Ferrari.

I would love to see it too, but I think Ferrari are set on a Schumacher-era approach of leader/second driver, in my view. I don't say that is right, but it would fit the trend.

With all the talk of bottas replacing Kimi, he may as well stay put as there are no other viable options it seems.

Nico gets the lap on a circuit they have a brazzilion miles of testing and data on.. Service probably resumed next race when it's back to finding speed with your arse cheeks rather than charts.

Prost won a race in every season he competed in except his first season, and 1991.
