If Rosberg wins the WDC this year..

[Tazio]

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.
