But that'd still leave them with a 26 point difference going into the last two races with 50 points being available, so Nico wouldn't win the championship.

I want Nico to win this year so I want to see him on the top step, or at least second. That said, if Rosberg were to have his engine blow or crash out with Hamilton taking the win closing the gap to 1 point, Brazil and Abu Dhabi would be exciting races!

I dream of a Rosberg DNF. Imagine the tension and excitement if there was a one point difference going into the last race biggrin

I can see Rosberg having an absolute shocker in one of the remaining races, but I can't imagine it being Mexico. Hamilton pole and Rosberg win methinks.

NOT regular channel 4
Thanks for that update. Is it wrong that I got settled in to watch a bit of practice a little earlier only for it to dawn on me that it's Thursday today? wobble

I think Nico's car will break. Lewis will win.

I saw theres chatter still of another hamilton engine penalty, would be great if nicos goes pop in brazil and they both start the last race at the back of the grid with a few points between them!

Then Lewis would be WDC......

As above, I hope (as awful as it is) for an engine failure for Nico this weekend, then we will have ourselves WDC scrap.

Their long run pace didn't look anything special and Raikkonen had a lot of graining on their preferred race tyre. I think it is more a case of Vettel getting a good lap in at the right time... I would be surprised if they still look that competitive on one lap pace after FP3 and qualifying.

Just in case you have forgotten, Mercedes have an engine mode they only need to use in qually.

They also spent every lap of winter testing learning how to extract performance from Medium tyres in cold track temperatures.

So in reality, It is hard to agree that a 0.004s advantage is sufficient justify your aspiration.

Their form with tyre strategies this year could turn a strong showing into yet another utter disaster, but we can live in hope.

Hoping that they or RB can take a few points from Nico so that he can't just play it safe coming second for the rest of the season.
