This track will favor the Silver Arrows. While Nico is the man in form at the moment, I think Lewis is due a win. So I picked Lewis for the win. Hope Nico finishes a close second so that we head to Suzuka with both drivers still in the frame. I'd really like to see Daniel Ricciardo win if the weather plays a part and the honey badger can make a lightning start.

Voted Lewis. I really don't like Rosberg, so here's hoping Ricciardo comes 2nd to mix it up a bit.

when I write Nico off he comes back, now LH has hit a rough spot which has come back from before.

WAG - the "playoffs" begin, Nico and LH take each other out and Ricciardo wins

Nico for the win.

WAG- one Ferrari will not finish, and one HAAS will finish in front of the other.
