Probably a fight between Verstappen and Hamilton like last year but it would be great to see VER, HAM, VET all have a clean first lap being in the top 3 positions.

I'd like to see that as well. The grid has played bumper cars over the first lap far to often this year.

And an extra bonus is, Hamilton, Vettel and Verstappen all have nothing to lose because the championship has been dealt with so the fight for victory can be much much much harder then ever before... "Wishfull thinking" :D

Well this is what I'm looking forward to most.

Hamilton, Vettel, Bottas, Ricciardo, Raikkonen and Verstappen being free now to just go a it. No team orders needed now. The WDC is sorted the top 3 are all locked in place in WCC table. Just go at it guys please.

Also another old track that I enjoy.

I always love the onboard in the constant left turn that goes from 12-15.

Well... Bottas still has a clear chance on second, even if Vettel might not be very interested...

Hamilton, with the WC sealed will probably not be on his sharpest (like in '15) and Verstappen is on fire.

I could see a fun fight with BOT and VER! nice change for a chance.

Not sure on that. Everyone is now free to race.
Hamilton seems in a different place from anytime Rosberg was his team mate in that he has that twinkle back in his eye at any chat about racing. Vettel would I imagine be motivated to win just to prove himself. Verstappen is just Verstappen. Ricciardo would overtake his own mother if he could and as you say Bottas is looking at 2nd place.

The only person with no motivation is Raikkonen but then again what's new there.

Something like Bottas - Hamilton - Verstappen - Vettel at the end of turn 2 might be interesting. Ferrari would probably not want Vettel to lose his #2 position in the WDC standings. Perhaps a nice tangle between p2, p3, and p4, with Hamilton defending instead of attacking.

I hope this race is dry though with a clean start for everyone. An anti-clockwise track that normally bums out the driver's neck and with this year's cars it will be a real test. Ok, rain in the last 10 laps would be perfect.

BOT vs. VES like in Mexica... That was exiting ; ). If it is dry then I expect HAm vs. vet vs. Ves. And Ves to win again. If it will be wet and or mixed... It will be Ves vs some others and a shock STR Podium.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

I have a feeling that Hamilton is going to be super-motivated to get a win here.

I think Hamilton is always motivated to win. He just makes things look so easy that we think he's not motivated. With the exception of the last race or two at the end of 2015. I can't think of other times.

The big bad boys would return to bully the kid. This time, the kid would not have it easy as the bad boys would not leave an inch to the kid. They would be ready to crash him out, rather than leaving any space for the kid. I am fully expecting Lewis and Vettel to dive down (even a dive bomb) the inside OR force Verstappen out if there is an opportunity. Just to give a lesson in racing! It would be fun two races ahead.
