So do we forget Hamilton has won the world championship this year, his second in a row and start hailing Nico as the better driver because he's won a couple of races? He has certainly had the better of Lewis in qualifying this year but considering the superiority of the car he has not beaten his teammate and was in danger of losing second place in the WDC only a couple of races back. Last year there were too many instances where Lewis forced Nico into mistakes, out breaking himself under pressure and I think mentally lewis has had Nico covered this past 2 years.

Nico could win the last race by 10 seconds+ but it means nothing. He needs to beat his teammate over the course of a season and needs to be winning from the early part of next season in order to give himself a decent chance. Nico needs to stay at Merc and so does Lewis.
