Voted for Ricciardo. But I'll settle for Lewis winning and Nico finishing second with both McLarens in the points again.

Voted Lewis, I'd be happy with Ricciardo coming in 2nd. I'm still hopeful Nico's car goes blammo at some point. I want to see the title race go to the last race.

Because I can't believe Nico will phone it in and coast over these last few races...

Nico.

Decent read and Buxton pretty much nailed it, it's really why I don't care for Rosberg.

Watching quali with a slight delay. In the midst of Q2 at the moment. It seems to me that this will be a race of attrition. Whoever keeps the car in one piece and hangs on until the end will likely be a happy camper.

Thin air is causing less drag and the cars have less downforce. They are going faster but seem to be taxing their tires and brakes. Also 50% chance of rain tomorrow. Should be an interesting race.

Voted Lewis.

WAG. Rain, Nico will not finish, and HAAS will score points.
