Vettel and Max to fight it out while Hamilton slips past.
I don't think lewis has to knock wheels with these two guys to win. Also i believe he will overtake Max easily on the straights. Merc are downplaying it a lot. Only the Ferrari will be hard for Lewis to overtake.
I am expecting Max to have tyre issues as he will push to hard in the first stint. Vettel will also be pushing to stay up front because he has to win. He cannot fall back for a podium, he needs to lead every lap. No other option.


Bottas now, what if he gets a good start and trips over Hamilton and sends the championship fight to Brazil?

I am a little more excited about this race compared to the others this season. We have the two renaults, the two force indias in the top 10. Basically some pretty competitive and close pairings at the top and the cars are pretty much very close on race pace. The season has wound down pretty well in terms of competition.
For Sure!!

Hamilton will get both the guys ahead of him in the run up to Turn 1.

That's not his style, he'll let them go a few laps then reel them in.

I guess this is going to be decided on either turbos or cooling. Whose turbo will go bang? Whose brakes would catch fire? Whose PU will overheat?

For me its suspect. He had already damaged his wing and would need to pit. He took hamilton with him?

Vettel just destroyed a nice race...he had tons of room inside...Hamilton gave him all the room in the world! This has to be a penalty...why on earth would he do that?? That looks deliberate to me...
