Hamilton's bad results have come mostly as a result of bad luck and reliability issues which are out of his control, but that might also happen to Rosberg at some time. And for the love of $DEITY, there are still 18 races left and it's not like Lewis has forgotten how to be faster than his teammate! As much as I'd like Nico to win the championship, right now I'd still put my money on Lewis. Bad luck doesn't last forever, but superior ability does.
Only a tongue in cheek title to set up a discussion.

I think the title is definately still on given the amount of races left. However it is also a situation where Hamilton needs to beat Nico a couple of times in the next 2 or 3 races and start clawing the points back. If it goes back and forth for 5 races and is still the same gap, then it really will be tough.

Lewis has shown he is still quick. Pole in 2 of 3 races, but needs as keep away from incidents whether his fault or not. He needs good starts and no contact going forward.

Hope to see them race head to head and hopefully wheel to wheel soon.
