Hamilton can't let that happen, he has to get into the lead an back Rosberg up to give whoever is 3rd and 4th a chance at taking him, while making sure he isn't jumped at the same time, it could lead to a good race. If Rosberg doesnt become the WDC then he hasn't deserved it, if he wins the race in a straight out fight then he's thoroughly deserved it. So he's saying Barricello set-up Schumacher's cars?
Eddie Irvine actually said something similar. That Michaels feedback was actually quite poor because he was so good at driving around problems.

Hamilton 8 tenths ahead in Q1. So much for an exiting decider. It'll take a spectacular bottling from Nico.
Ben Edwards announcing pole position when only two drivers have completed their laps. I really hope that's over next season.
Hamilton backs Nico into Ricciardo and Kimi, or Lewis has a bad start and Nico tries a move. The boring scenario is both get a decent start and Lewis runs away into the distance, with Nico collecting the title at the end.
It's possible, although not highly probable also the Ferrari's are up there too, I'm still hopeful !!!!
What I would Really like to happen tomorrow, Is for both Button and Massa to have good drives and finish the race. They both Deserve It imho.
Lewis has already achieved the impossible by virtue of being a black North London lad who has won 3 F1 WDCs, he will achieve another miracle tomorrow, honest !!! but you are right it's true he will need a little help.
Who's domination under the new rules will be the best to watch? The Red Bull pairing could easily fiesty, Ferrari would be worse than Mercedes. McLaren no chance of a 2007 rookie Alonso repeat. So it's down to Red Bull, unless the highly unlikely happens and teams are evenly matched.
Significant rule changes have produced close fields before. 2009 had 8 teams getting podiums and 6 winners. I'm hopeful that easing the development rules might mean if there is domination, it won't last until the next rule change.
The best thing about next year is the engine development being opened up. I cannot believe they locked it down in 2014 and gifted Mercedes 3 titles. They are the best team and deserve it but everyone should have had the opportunity to grow and develop. Red Bull are nailed on to have a great car but whether it's enough to overpower the Merc works team(And power unit) is anyone's guess. Honda are the ones who truly have to step up-the talking is over now for them. They have a steadier footing to go in armed with this time and they should make a leap, it just depends on how further forward Merc and Ferrari are. I'm intrigued at Prodromous vision on a brand new rule change too. Vandoorne might be a fly in the ointment for Alonso- there is an awful lot of faith in that kid in that team. Where did we hear that before....? Someone was talking about the length of the Red Bull wheel base being crucial in deciding next years title- I'm nowhere near technical enough but anyone shed any light (in layman terms) of what that might mean?
Redbull will definitely be up there, the engine gains mercedes make won;t be as much as the others, and with the regs going aero again you know Newey will 'probably' be able to nulify that. I wouldn't mind seeing a dominant redbull, Max v Danny will be a much more exciting prospect.
