It's certainly possible. I doubt Vettel will have a chance unless they manage to improve the Ferrari to be all dominating. Leclerc in a Ferrari and Vestappen with a decent Honda engine might be the only fly the ointment, otherwise I doubt there will be any real challenge.

Personally, I think Lewis is by far the best driver on the grid at present and probably of his generation, that combination of raw speed, natural talent, ability to handle the pressure and experience put him streets ahead.

I wonder if Hamilton will retire at the end of his current contract - up to 2020. The rules will change and he has expressed lots of interest in a future career in music. He doesn't need to chase Schumacher, he has nothing left to prove even if he gets no more than the 5 WCs that he is in line to win.

Personally, I would retire at the top rather than do what Schumacher did.

Yeah agree, but it 'would' be nice.

He should get one over Seb though.

With LH-44 on the verge of another great achievement I found this a good read. www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/oct/19/how-mercedex-carried-lewis-hamilton-to-verge-of-his-fifth-f1-title


Hamilton and Mercedes have been outstanding, unrelenting, focused and delivered when the odds were not quite in their favour which has been the difference.

Individually they are premier, together they are one heck of a force, who's combined A game is pretty close to unbeatable much of the time.

I hope they smash it tomorrow and only wish I could be part of any celebrations    ....

Indeed, this is F1 after all, DNF's, shunts, mechanical issues etc etc - My comments are in veiw of what could potentially be achieved tomorrow of course. 


If not tomorrow then we move on for even more anticipation at the next race(s), or even next year     

That was a great race yesterday, but Mercedes clearly ballsed up the strategy. It was interesting watching Lewis taking on Max, he was being so careful not to come into contact with him, a complete contrast to the sort of driving Vettel does.

Vettel was useless again. In fact, if I were Ferari I would seriously be questioning whether I fired the wrong person in Raikkonen based on recent form.

Raikkonen did a great job, and his press conference comments were hilarious.

Verstappen remains one to watch, I think next year could be interesting if that Honda engine is as good as they think it might be.

Just caught up on the weekends events!

Grande Kimi..

Mexico here we come Lewis.

Nice job by Lewis, easily the most rounded and consistent driver on the grid this year.

Just think back to Spa when we all thought that Lewis' chances of winning the championship were gone, given the advantage shown by the Ferrari and Vettel at that race. Vettel is going to have to up his game significantly next year, but does he have it in him?, and they should watch out for those Red Bulls now too.
