The more this goes on and the more we see factions within Mercedes favoring one driver over the other, the WDC battle seems to be coming down to Toto Wolff (Nico Rosberg) vs. Niki Lauda (Lewis Hamilton). Me, I'm putting my money on King Rat to win in the end. Just makes sense to play the long standing odds: a guy who has been on fire, should be dead and has had parts of his head ripped off vs some fancy man who fell off his little bicycle and thinks he now knows what "extreme living" is all about? I really think this team orders incident will turn up the heat in the battle between the two factions within Mercedes after the break. And in my worthless opinion, if Lewis loses the WDC, I see that as the catalyst for some major seat swapping drama going forward. And I'm OK with that. The more drama the better.
