Looking more and more likely every race. He doesn’t even seem to have a challenger?
And Lewis Hamilton wins his 6th championship!

Same here, never thought I’d say it. Then he left and Bottas arrived.

all too easy for Ham at the moment

Minor correction: once for Maserati. Unless you count '54 when he switched to Mercedes for much of the season.
Its inevitable, great car and great driver. Plus the fact Ferrari drop the ball too many times^ Will we hear those words by the end of 2019?

And ferrari dropping the ball so early on the season

Is it too early yet?

As much as I want #6 I think it's far too early to call it just yet. What does look ominous is Lewis often weak at the start of the season. He's started well so far thus year

Ferrari really need the 1 2 this weekend else it's over
Its still too early but i know what your saying. I was hoping red bull would be more competitive. Gasley has had a shocking start to the season, the russian torpedo would have been a better choice

They're looking good at the moment but if they don't do well this weekend then it's feeling slightly ominous for the rest of the season.

I wouldnt rule Bottas out to push Hamilton for the WDC this season. He seems to be finding form (finally). I hope it continues but part of me feels he will peter out. I desperately want him to be a worthy Merc driver to challenge Hamilton because I just dont think Ferarri are in the right place to win a WDC right now. Too many mistakes. Personally I feel some of it is down to favouring Vettel - even if its contractual, it just seems like it is promoting counter productive decisions and costing them track position.
I hope your right but if Hamilton hits form i think Bottas still struggle to keep up

Agreed. But hopefully give him enough of a challenge to stop it being a cakewalk.
Who knows, if the racing gods get involved, Bottas could clinch it.

Hamilton i think, is going to have a tougher year this year.
I not watched one race this year so far as i dont have Sky and no way i will pay to watch F1.

Bottas won't win on merit, but he could do a Rosberg and do well enough to put himself within Luck's whisker of success if Ferrari keep on fluffing their lines.

Bottas did well in the early part of 2018 and look what happened there. Lewis tends to improve a bit over a season, so unless Bottas really is finding form and maintaining it then I don't think Hamilton is worried.
Rosberg beat Hamilton because Lewis had almost half of the Mercedes engine issues across all times, by himself. Oh, and Rosberg played some epic mind games in Monaco which messed with him.
