Why is there a big assumption Mercedes are going to do something brilliant with their engine? Just curiosity because I've seen people suppose it a lot.

I think that it's going to be down to the better cars, rather than the better drivers, just for next season. There will, I think, be some quite embarrassing performances from a certain team/engine partner. But it's still a long way away, and we're only just over half way through this season!

I'll go one further, it'll be the driver who scores most points.

And usually who scores most points is called the best driver, are we repeating ourselves ?

Would love to see Kimi win the WDC!
Alonso's face would be a picture! |

New cars, new engines, same drivers.
I'd go for the driver who has shown he can adapt the fastest to new situations, so probably not Button, maybe Hamilton, but it's a difficult call for him, so I'd probably go a bit further and suggest either Alonso or Raikkonen. Vettel has always had a great car for his wins (not so far ahead this year), I'm not sure he will stand out so much if the car is in with the pack. One thing I am pretty sure off, Maldonardo and Grosean will continue to run in to things, however the car/engines turns out. |

If the Merc is what people say it is, you could see Hamilton challenging the title for real! Rosberg will always come second to him. Took Lewis a few races to get it together but from here, I reckon it is a straight line upwards pls.

If I was putting my money on the 2014 champion, I would put it on Vettel.
I believe that RBR are capable of building the best package, and even if it is not the best car, they will be best at optimizing the results of what they have. |
