I would vote for Ham as well but we most likely won't see him try anything tricky since all he really needs to do is finish at podium pretty much. I honestly feel like he COULD'VE taken max at cota at the end but didn't want to risk it. Unless he has a tremendous start, which the merc's are awful at this year, we'll probably just see him in a podium finish.

I voted for Ricc... Luck's gotta look his way at some point. He is so fast and his pace is absolutely a race winning pace. So long as they don't put him on an awful tire strategy and the engine doesn't just go out, I can definitely see him taking the title.

Renault powered cars are looking good so far through FP2. I don't think Ferrari or MB are sandbagging either.

This could be a very interesting race this year.

Voted for Dan Dan.

Lewis said he’d like to win the title with a win. I hope his words come true at Abu Dhabi and we have exciting races here in Mexico and then in São Paulo.

I weep for DR.
