Voted Lewis.
Let's see if this year is the same as last year.

Going Kimi. . . if you're gonna go, go with a middle finger in the air (and a Carbon Champagne bottle in the other hand).
Charles LeClerc will qualify and start inordinately well, then get stuck with a 10 second pit stop because they brought out Marcus Ericsson's tires (even though Ericsson will have a DNF by lap 4)
Hamilton will have an engine and transmission change, start at the back, and still make it to 2nd
Vettel will be cited for not being English enough, and penalized 3.2 seconds. . . which ironically will be, oh, the length of Hamilton's pit stop.
Arrivabene's beard will have crawled below the chin line. While the hair will be tidy, there will be neckbeard.
Ricciardo will podium, in no small part because Verstappen, while having been a mostly-model citizen this year, will make something go really wrong on the track.

Voted for Ricciardo.
This weekend will be about rooting for the underdogs. Ricciardo for the win at the Singapore GP and Alex Rossi for IndyCar champion. Totally going with my heart this weekend.

Singapore snooze. Lewis was so comfortably keeping everyone in check that I felt there was little excitement. I even took a wee nap mid-race.
The only moments of excitement were at the start and when Lewis and Max closed up on the backmarkers battling it out and the fireworks at the end and the Singapore skyline were dazzling.
I think Lewis has a firm handle on the championship now and Vettel faces an uphill mathematically possible route to the championship. Maybe this will stoke the fire in Ferrari’s belly and motivate them to go harder and we get to see some exciting races as the season winds down.
