Nope. Just like Spa decided the 2014 championship, I really do think that is Lewis loses a track he always performs well at, it'll be a blow too much for next year.

Lol, talk about blind optimism ... Hamilton has no 'proper' motivation to win the remaining races, he has done all he needs to do this season as he is now 2015 World Champion and a triple world champion like Senna his hero. He just wants to get the season over and go party with his rapper mates in the states. There is no way the end of this season will have any effect on next.

Have to agree. He has nothing left to prove in 2015, and I suspect he is now turning his attention to 2016. I also imagine the team have been eager to make sure Nico got 2nd place, so they have given Nico a bit more priority in the last couple of races. Or it could just be that the pressure is off him, and he's driving really well.

I just hope we get a half decent race, as the last two have been a little dull.

No proper motivation?! Every race is something to prove.

Hamilton mentions Senna all the time and Senna was the classic example of 'I don't want to beat you, I want to humiliate you!'. As such, whether you win the Championship or not, you want to win every single race.

So the excuses flow. Fair enough with qualy, if he was trying something different, I get that as he can afford to. But trying to innovate is a different mind set than not caring.

You need to decide what Hamilton is thinking. And if Ferrari are competitive next year, Hamilton will struggle more because the only race Race this year he's been amonst the pac was Hungary, and he hit pretty much every car on the grid. If we look through his past he's done the same.

So I remain faithful to my prediction - If Nico wins today, he'll win the title next year.
