Anything could happen in the next two weeks; with allotted engine supplies running low as we come to the season's climax, we simply can't predict what will happen. We could have both Mercedes starting from the pit lane because of engine changes, which would be entertaining, seeing Lewis and Nico battling it out while moving towards the front, the potential for tangling with each other or a slower car is huge. Personally I'm still hoping to see a Williams win or another Daniel Ricciardo win to break up the monotony of Mercedes wins.

That could be the wrong thinking.

I wasn't saying that's how Hamilton should approach it, just that a win would cover more bases, from the limit of what he and the the car are reasonably capable of, should something crop up. I agree Hamilton won't approach these two any differently, it's not his style.

Yes a win normally gives you more points and more options

Imo Hamilton just needs to stay in the groove and continue to race to win, if he starts to think to much or try to drive to be safe it will just throw him off. He is strong mentally right now after having his mid season episode so it bodes well for him to survive the next two races.

As well this time he doesn't have the crazy influence of Ron Dennis like he did in 2007 which is the last time he had a commanding lead with two to go. Stable influences in the front office are a big plus.

Both our resident psychologists now say he has gotten over his mid season wobble and IS NOW MENTALLY STRONG, now we can all start the party already

I am so relieved, I wasnt sure if he was going to continue being crashed out by his teammate or setting fire to his car or missing his final quali runs

And he has Niki Lauda for stability

And you, cookie. I forward all your posts to him.

Think Nico has this one.

Think Nico has this one.

Yes I think he has the pole, and Lewis already has the win.

I have a feeling Nico has the full lot. Just as long as Lewis is 2nd...

[Nin-Chin]

Nico is in a different league this weekend it seems.

I disagree, he has been pretty darn strong but I think Lewis will have it tomorrow.

Grats to Rosberg for pole position trophy.

[LiamCatterson]

The only trophy Nico will win this year. No worries though Nico, at least you didn't leave the season empty handed

[CookinFlat6]

Lewis just said the quali gap is exactly how it should be all the time. I.e Nico should push Lewis that hard when he is the faster driver

[Hammer278]

When Massa said "very emotional" to qualify third, I thought he was about to burst into tears.....thank goodness he kept his hormones in check.

[racechick]

I thought he was about to cry too. Hope he has a good race tomorrow.
