I hope Alonso gets, at least, a point in his last grand prix.

Indeed. BTW, he's in the 6-hour Shanghai race going on right now! Just under 2 hours to go.

I hope Sauber beats Force India to 7th place.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Will start getting very worried for next year if Red Bull perform again here.

Anyways hope it’s a good one :) would be nice to see Bottas up there! I presume weather won’t be an issue so no great upsets

In all honesty, FI should be having 109 points, that makes them 5th in Constructor's Standing. If not for the stupidity of Perez, they would have been having even more points. While Sauber started the year with the Alpha Romeo backing, at one point FI was staring at bankruptancy. In that sense, the team has dished out miracle and deserves the highest accolades. Even if Sauber beats in points, it's still hollow. I am not belittling Sauber own resurgence, which has given birth of a wonderful star and they deserve great respect for that.

I dont want Sauber to beat Force-India because they deserve to. I am for Sauber because it’s my “home team” and they could do well with the bonus winnings. Force-India is already in a terrific position with Strolls money for the foreseable future. IMO, if it’s someone who doesnt belong in the position they are likely to finish, it’s McLaren. I think they are extremely fortunate to finish this year in 6th. Their pace across this year certainly does not justify that.

I personally count Sochi as a win for him. It's just that the positions were swapped and the greater points given to Lewis, but for all intents and purposes that's a Bottas win.

Don't forget Baku, without that puncture he should have won it.

Personally i want either Hamilton or Räikkönen to win. Hamilton so he can put the "never won a race after winning a championship", and Kimi so he can stick fingers up at Ferrari as he leaves.

I'm tired of seeing "once upon a time" cutting edge McLaren technology on the grass half way through the race :(

Except Lewis won Brazil already, Kimi I would like to see.

Kimi for the win. Seb for the "toys out of pram" episode. Ferrari wondering why they sacked the wrong driver. Everyone goes in to winter laughing.

Have a wild guess what happened in the last race we had in Brazil 7 days ago.
