Voted Max.

England has been doing really well in the cricket World Cup and the final is the same weekend of the Grand Prix. So I’ll be rooting for a Honda victory and while I hope India make it to the finals, I think England deserve the World Cup for their come from behind effort thus far. I’m sure Lewis won’t mind losing the race to see England be world champions.
