I'm going for Nico this weekend. Lewis has never won at Interlagos and I can see Nico taking the top spot and sealing the championship. Though Red Bull could be seriously in the mix this weekend too.

 

It is definitely his bogey track.

 

I've voted for Lewis, but come on Nico!!! After the FIA helping Lewis last race, it needs to be done and sorted before they can mess with it any more.

 

At least double points don't come into play, still one of the worst ideas ever in F1.

 

I think Nico will seal it here.

 

Nico DNF, Lewis 2nd, go into the final race with one point in it

 

Don't worry, I'm sure Bernie's got it all arranged...........

 

Nico's played it safe in the last two races, but I think he needs to go for it and try and wrap it up here.

Abu Dhabi is a Hamilton track and a banker win for him, barring disaster. I don't think it wise for Nico to put himself under that sort of pressure at the last race.

 

Ricc for me. Lewis may not have won but he has been very lucky here 2008? To all those conspiracy theorists, the 2007 and 2008 races will be debated for years, will this be another one?

Weather will throw a spanner in the works for Nico here, but I expect the RB's to be very competitive in both dry and wet conditions.

 

Was also unlucky in 2010 when Hulk took him out as they battled for the lead.

taking out the luck factor etc, performance wise this has consistently been his worst track, which is surprising as its a relatively easy one to drive

 

Short track with variables

 

I am very quick around here on the Xbox 360!

 

Gone for Lewis more in hope than expectation. Tbh anything can happen at this track, and Lewis doesn't go well here, but I have gone for him anyway for the sake of the championship.

If Lewis won and Nico stuck it in a wall somewhere that would spice things up, wouldn't it?

 

If that happens Lewis has the Championship won. No way Rosberg is beating a motivated Hamilton at Abu Dhabi.

 

Todays presser, with Whiting sitting in. Quite a big deal.

Max actually challenges CW on the penalty in Mexico, stating that if there was a penalty for him there should also have been one for Lewis.

 

Somehow Charlie does not speak with the authoritative tone I thought he would.

Actually, I'd go so far to say he seemed very weak.

 

Who ever organised that back row has a strong troll game

This, and how Vettel chooses to ignore Verstappen and is mostly unresponsive throughout the press conference. How Vettel and Max challenged Whiting in front of the worlds press was quite indicative of his seemingly lack of authority.

 

You get the feeling Charlie was hung out to dry by the FIA
