it's of no real significance but under the classic 10-6-4 system, Hamilton and Rosberg would have tied on points with Hamilton winning in a countback. So yeah it's a really even season which is to Rosberg's credit after people dismissed him as not being on Hamilton's level.

I want lewis and nico to drop the gentlemen poo poo and go at it like they hate eachother. I also want them to be fighting for 5th the whole season. It would also be nice if Alain Post got therapy for his mental issues before ever posting again.

I wonder if one wdc in the bag will help Bossbergs mental state. In the back sort of quarter of the season he just had no confidence to really get out there and go for it. All he could think about is bringing it home without mistake or incident - as if they were almost inevitable if he wasnt reaaaaaaallly careful. I feel like if Lewis had the championship lead at the time he would have been confident enough in himself to go all out for wins.

Its not someone trying to win the WDC as slowly as possible. Besides, Hamilton has done a good 175 odd races since that mistake and may have learnt a thing or two.

Toto will never let that happen, he is strongly driven by a consensus team model, and it shows. Nico is perfectly happy to tow the team line, no matter how false it actually is, and that will make Lewis the standout petty one, which isn't the public persona Lewis likes to project. I honestly think Lewis would quit if it got that bad, especially if other teams are as fast next year as they claim. Lewis has shown he can perform, and other teams wouldn't hesitate to sign him. If Mercedes manages to still be dominant in 2017 (a real possibility) expect nothing to change, and everything to be all fake smiles everywhere.

McLaren but if that car is good Nando is staying and I can't see Lewis beating him in that scenario. Honda wanted Fernando and McLaren aren't really in a situation to say no to them right now. Realistically Red Bull aren't interested in outside drivers and Ferrari is just going to Ferrari it up and won't win, even if they did I don't think Lewis would survive in that environment. Basically Mercedes is the only viable option for Lewis.

They've done stranger things. Renault would sign him for sure, as would pretty much every b-team (if Lewis could stomach it). Redbull have a huge stable of their own drivers and for sure don't need him, and McLaren is definitely in the 'once burned' category, and something would have to go majorly wrong with their current drivers for him to be considered. All of this is talking about 2018 at the earliest, of course.

Lewis would literally never go back to McLaren if Fernando is there. ...then again, there's always the WEC but Lewis seems to be a diehard GP driver.

Well, who here would have predicted that Alonso would end up back at McLaren? Lewis is also under contract until 2018 season, so quitting would mean he would have to sit down a couple of years.

I'm pretty confident it won't. Red Bull have overdeveloped this car while everyone gave up ages ago which is exactly what they did in 13/14, my prediction is Mercedes will be strong Red Bull will have heavy teething issues and McLaren will be third. That and Verstappen still drives like an idiot.ImplicitAssembler posted:Well, who here would have predicted that Alonso would end up back at McLaren? To be honest the Alonso thing was a ridiculous amount of stars aligning and perfect storms and it'd have to be even more ridiculous with Lewis. Maybe they have clauses to let them do a straight trade with the drivers but I can't imagine Honda would be too impressed with Lewis as their lead driver. Lewis' issue is he's known as being difficult to work with sponsors and borderline toxic and he's with the only team on the grid that doesn't really care about sponsors.
