Well at least Rosberg has stopped crowding his team mate off the track,or trying to puncture his tyre .Or blocking the track in quali
He has been a better RACER this year ,but a lot of the public have issues with him
ANYWAY the fat lady has not sung YET !
There are 2 more races !

I'm sure Lewis will be remembering 9 years ago, when he had a proportionally much greater advantage with 2 races to go than Nico has now, and didn't manage to make it stick. Not over by any means!

This is true, however in 2007 you had two teams that were fairly evenly matched(Ferrari won 9 races McLaren won 8). The Boss chucking it away in China, and than Brazil, and Kimi winning the last 2 races really was remarkable, and a feat not repeated since. Having said this I still think Lewis (as you pointed out) has a better chance than Kimi did with 2 races left, but he needs Nico to suffer some misfortune.
May the forza be with you

Lewis best chance of winning the championship is either:
1) Rain in Brazil
2) Verstappen in Brazil of Abu Dhabi
3) Reliability issues
Otherwise it will simply be a Mercedes 1-2 in the final two races and Nico will take it either way.

Yes, you're right, but
Nico is boring. Lewis is badass. Bernie said!

You're not a World Champion without serious talent. Every champion are respected and rightly so.
Is he better than Hamilton? No. But does he deserve title? If he has the most points of all drivers come sunday evening in Abu Dhabi, yes.

Kimi winning from third was not a feat really. Mclaren handed it to him on a platter with bitter inter team mate rivalry and the distraction of the Ferrari gate scandal.
Under normal circumstances, that title would have been a done deal. Kimi won it by one point from Hamilton who had a DNF due to gearbox failure on the last race of the season; which would have won him his first title in his rookie year.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 2nd November 2016 at 23:17.

If you subtract Kimi from the 2007 equation, it's actually a more similar situation to now. Bitter team-mate rivalry and all! In 2007 Hamilton led Alonso by 12 points with 2 races to go - more than 1 win, proportionally 1.5x bigger than Rosberg's lead over Hamilton now. That lead reduced to zero in the last 2 races.
