I didn't understand what Button was saying about Nico. "Will Nico push or sit back and give Lewis a sniff of victory". Why would Nico do anything but push as hard as possible?

Maybe he's suggesting Nico should dangle the carrot of a win in front of Lewis to make him do something stupid like a risky overtake. If he just disappears into the distance Lewis will just cruise round in second.

Alonsos beard is pretty impressive.

Ron will have that off him next year

Almost time :cool:

Nico might try and hold up Lewis so that he gets put under pressure by the Williams I guess?

Glaucus · 23 Nov 2014 at 12:46

Perfect time to go see what's in the fridge, stupid anthem rule.

Odd to think this could be Button's last GP.

Webber there to try persuade him more it seems

Skeeter · 23 Nov 2014 at 12:47

Wow. Will Stevens makes Davidson look tall!

One possibility, but would be very risky.

Hamilton is better off trying to wait for a good DRS tow or the pit stops.

One way or another this thread will be fanstically salty, hopefully lots of controversy ahead

Yaayuh! · 23 Nov 2014 at 12:50

Will be a great race today. Hope Lewis does it but regardless, it's been an interesting season and hope it ends with an exciting race.

Special note to Williams, come guys, best those Ferraris!

Found half a bottle of sprite, will have to do. No chocolate or other snacks

The hamsters need CPR, forum is so slow.

Fully expecting one of the Mercedes cars to fall apart, i wonder which, hopefully things will be settled on the track.

nerves are kicking in, sweating ....

I watched Brazil 2008 last night just for that last lap. It was incredible.

Kelt · 23 Nov 2014 at 12:53

Large mug of coffee and bar of Toblerone at the ready!

Hill always sits in the fence, he really is rubbish.

Look back at the rest of the season.

If Rosberg manages to pull away from the pack, the odds are heavily stacked that Hamilton will claim second with ease. He wins the race, but not the title.

If Rosberg truely wants a shot at winning the title, he has to gamble, he has to try and hold up Hamilton and bring Bottas/Massa into the equation.

Rosberg has nothing to lose, he is guaranteed second in the championship, the question is does he want to emulate his father by rolling the dice in the final race?

It could go horribly wrong...

I predict Rosberg trying to block Hamilton off the start and contact being made.
