Voted Lewis. I think he will wrap up the season on a high. If he qualifies on the front row, then I expect he will win this race regardless of who makes the better start.

I voted Lewis, too.

Hoping for another Ferrari win to end the season (I picked Vettel), but I suspect MB will want to end the season with a firm stamp of total domination.

Voted Vettel, cause way not.

Good win for Bottas. The Ferraris just couldn't keep up. Vettel said so afterwards. And Bottas' Olympic swimmer wife is is hot!

Decent race, and well done to Bottas.

Let's hope next year is a closer battle throughout the entire year.
