He's improved a lot this season. His wheel-to-wheel skills are impressive. I hope that Renault can produce something suitable for his talents next season. He's been the 'one-to-watch' for a long time though and I think his chances at the WDC have passed.
I remember the excitement over his driving in the early days but I agree can't see him taking a WDC, I saw him in an interview and he reckons his size has seriously disadvantaged him over others.Dunc.

Be interesting to see if Bottas can up his game now, knowing that we won't be asked to move over if he is in a winning position.
He's had all season to up his game and hasn't done it yet. Unless he's handed a win by Lewis now he won't do it on pace. 
From Hat-Gate forward we saw Rosberg with the bit between his teeth as Lewis seemed to cruise by comparison. I don't think I've ever seen that from Bottas except maybe in his 2014 season battles with Raikkonen. Russia and maybe Baku were the only times I think Bottas had the edge.Gaz. said:

Looks decidedly wet according to the weather with a chance of thunderstorms forecast for Saturday and sunda. If its wet I can see a Merc 1-2 unless Ferrari/Red bull have managed to solve their lack of wet weather pace.
Hulk may get a podium?dunc_sx said:

I have always rated Hulk and I really hope that his career will be rejuvenated next season. It's hard to see where his chance of podiums and race wins is going to come from but I think he deserves that at least.
I don't think Ricciardo is going to embarrass him.

Come on Kimi.
I honestly believe Kimi could win this.Hamilton will turn up and merely coast around all weekend.
Bottas will make everybody wonder how he got the seat in the first place.
Vettel will misjudge an overtake and wipe himself out.
Verstappen's race will self-implode.
Danny Ric's car will fail on the final lap, within sight of the finish line, as he was about to win it.

But please not Pirelli even in jest as I am close to blagging a lift. I am in the hotel with the Pirelli ppl. They have been back and forth to the circuit all week. They say there are police along the whole route and they are not putting permits anythings to identify the cars until they arrive at the circuit this year. Graveworm said:

Off topic Dunc but checked to see if you were a Dunc I knew from years ago and hat a great fleet you have. Even your past fleet is an impressive mix of interesting cars.
Was I the Dunc you knew? It's an interesting mix certainly, don't think my fleet list is complete tbh (left some of the even crapper stuff off
)Dunc.
