Head says easy Lewis win, but my heart is saying that Lewis will not be as focused as he would be normally and Vettel can sneak a win.

I'll be happy if we have a real race, like the one last weekend, it was certainly good to remember that they can race each other when circumstances allow, lets hope that a unknown tract is one of these circumstances.

I concur and I've gone for Vettel. Not just because Lewis and Merc may not be as focussed despite his and Toto's claim that they will approach the race weekend as per normal and not back off; I wonder too if the altitude will affect reliability and performance and perhaps neutralise the Merc advantage. No reason on the face of it why it should affect Merc more than anyone else, just that there is an unknown variable being chucked in there so who knows how that might affect the order.

Also I wonder if Merc might help Rosberg to get second place back now that everything else has been wrapped up.

I am sticking by my prediction that Rosberg will finish 3rd in the WDC. I think it will be all about Ham and Vet next year. Hope so.

So how many football pitches can you fit inside the Autodromo Hermenas Rodriguez? I looked at Google maps and it looks like 24. And surrounded by a further 17....

Are they still there? I assumed Bernie would have had those ripped up. Seems like a waste of potential corporate hospitality space to me.

Hopefully this will be an interesting race, its altitude should produce varying car characteristics.

Toto told Rosberg he needed to be on fire this weekend. Rosberg may have misinterpreted.

Cracked 225mph with Hamilton hitting 362.2kph, without the assistance of Rosbergs flameboost as well.

Nice to see they care about track limits already this weekend

Bando you need to change the poll so people dont cheat and change their vote

Jesus. Whats the fastest top speed ever recorded?

In race conditions it's 369.9 by Pizzonia in Italy 2004.
I think with DRS and a great exit on the final corner, it could be beaten..
