Seb is only winning this with breakdowns.
So far it's looking like he'll need the Red Bulls to breakdown too - which isn't a big stretch obviously.

He has though, hasn’t he? Certainly there is zero possibility that he won’t win it

I know that various articles are pre written, but it's a fairly rookie mistake to publish it prematurely!

If he died tomorrow he wouldn't win it. And that is a non-zero probability.

Actually he almost certainly would.

I concede that it is not quite zero but it’s damn close to zero.

I likewise concede he could still win it posthumously if Vettel didn't gain enough points to beat him.

But, yes, Hamilton is so close to winning it that it is pretty much a foregone conclusion

Posthumous champions is a very exclusive club - thus far only Rindt in 1970, has been so unfortunate.

3DNFs for Lewis and 3 Wins for Seb.

Someone needs to work out those odds. But it must be an insanely low chance.

Bookies are offering 500/1 on Seb WDC

& saw a stat for Lewis not to win WDC was something like 0.01%.

I mean it’s possible. I think I saw 5000-1 odds for Button to win the WDC before pre season testing with Brawn.

Why? Serious question not just starting an argument!

They can afford to take new engines at the last two races and still finish 5th and 6th (as Red Bull/Ferrari have shown when starting at the back).

Or do you think it's packaging that can't be changed?

Improbable but not impossible for Seb, Hamilton will cruise round finish circa 5th job done.

I think that it could push the title at leat 1 or 2 more races instead of having the title given this weekend. Makes things more interesting for all of us.

Still, my predictions are always wrong. laugh

So you predict that your prediction will be wrong. Yet because your predictions are always wrong then you will be right. But you cannot be right because you are always wrong. silly

I predict that I need to go make some coffee now. LOL
