Aahh who gives a toss? Ok:
- Hamilton will be quicker but Rosberg will push him off track.
- Another awful stewards' decision to finish the worst season I can remember in that regard. This aspect and driver choices affecting quality of racing is the real crisis.

I predict the stewards will penalise a driver for having too much pickup on his tires at the end of the race - clearly the tire circumference will be out of spec as a result and therefore illegal!

Oh and it'll be on a Force India this time in keeping with the tradition of Mercedes powered cars getting BS tire penalties.

It's a shame that the championship has already been decided because this is a great track for that to happen on. Plenty of opportunities for overtaking!

For all the stick Rosberg gets .. that sure was a great pole lap! Hopefully the FIA will reinforce track limits this year, especially through the last corner complex (yea I know, wishfull thinking).

I know in 3-4 weeks I will regret saying this, but it's kind of nice for the season to end now so we can look forward to next year. Hopefully a lot of the political mess gets sort out soon, so we can have a peaceful winter and anticipate the new cars.

As a McHonda fan I'm glad is the last race, it's been a huge pain since Jerez and it's almost over.

With so much of the WCC & WDC locked in (up and down the grid), they should be stricter.

He improved by over 1.0 second from Q2 to Q3 while everyone else either improved by only 0.1-0.3 seconds, or did worse in some cases.

Qualifying will not be as crucial as Brazil because there's not much of a difference between the clean and dirty side on the grid. Nevertheless, whichever Mercedes is ahead on the exit of Turn 1 will finish ahead barring any reliability issues.

Ferrari will be absolutely up there with Mercedes this weekend. Super soft and soft tyres, combined with the lack of high speed corners (apart from Turns 2-3) will make them very competitive, IMO.

If Ferrari are close to Mercedes I expect Mercedes to allow the drivers to change strategy. They'll want to win more than they'll want to be "fair".
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
