Voted for Dan Dan again. I'd like to see him win and have everyone on the podium take a sip of champagne from his shoe

Lewis will want to get that points margin back up after it closing a bit last week.

Back like a rash!

I'm going Hamilton, but then forgot he still has leftover grid penalties I think.


Verstappen will find Ferrari parts in his bed. No, that's not a Sicilian warning, he just can't seem to escape them.
Force India will keep forgetting they're really contenders before the race starts, which will impair their long-term strategy.

Lewis will be free and clear of penalties for this weekend. Unless he incurs a new penalty over the weekend.

True. Toto Wolff has gone on record asking the FIA to close the engine penalty loophole
http://www.autosport.com/news/report...hange-loophole

Lewis is free and clear. He does have two warnings though for on track transgressions from the stewards. If he does get into another incident, he could get a grid penalty. Otherwise Mercedes exploited the loophole very well to ensure he has a supply of power units to last him until the end of the season.

Found a loophole in the rules and made the most of it. Gotta love it, that's the "whatever it takes" to be WDC
