Lewis or Nico?

Hopefully we're in for a cracking race, but who is going to win?

[Bunk]

Nico might win the race but I think Lewis will win the championship.

1994 Adelaide?

I think Lennox is the better boxer, though getting on a bit. Still too powerful for the German singer Nico, who since her death has not made an appearance anywhere near the ring.

My money's on the Big Canadian.

well that was a shock...

not

Think I will give next years multi billion pound stage show a miss and get back to some decent grass roots racing thanks.

It was a shame but Lewis won it on the start and was never going to drop to third, or even second, from there.

New we just wait to see who McLaren keep, unless Button throws up his hands in disgust and takes the decision out of their hands. Last year the new boy got booted out because he couldn't out qualify Button...

That's one interpretation, but the rumour was that McLaren found Perez a bit lazy and unwilling to work as hard, and you can imagine what Ron Dennis would think of that.

Sadly I think Button will be dumped.

It seemed to be looking that way but now I'm wondering if it's swinging back the other way as JB has been doing an excellent job. It is all rather a mess though. Hardly getting off to a great start for 2015.

But then it's not just about who does the best job. Button's a lot more expensive, and that's money that could go elsewhere, and as a long term prospect Magnussen may well turn out to be the better option. They could opt to keep Button for another year (and for Honda's first year), and keep Magnussen on as a test driver and put him back in the car for 2016. It's not like Magnussen has any other choice in F1, whereas Button would probably walk away if he wasn't going to get to race.

Ted said yesterday Button's result is what kept McLaren ahead of Force India and that saved them about £10m for next year, which is about his fee.

My money is on Lauda


I acknowledge Hamilton won, but respecting him is difficult. Why is that?
