    Just as Hamilton can also thank Seb and Ferrari for the WDC.

    Before they were saying Elton needed top 5 finish and Seb P1 or 2, but now saying Elton needs zero points but Seb still needs P1 or 2 and is 1 min behind? Not even Superman could do that....

    Ferrari had more shortcomings by far over the season than Seb did.

    The only chance Vettel has to prevent Hamilton taking the WDC this race is Max blowing up.

    And it ain't gonna happen.

    It's over. Elton was sandbagging to save his tires anyway and expecting P8.

    As long as Bottas won't let Vettel pass its over.

    And Bottas is not going to let Vettel pass. Like never ever no way ever.

    Game over.

    And it's Game over because Kimi cannot beat Bottas.

    I think Seb might be able to get 3rd but unless Max's engine blows up we are done for.

    Actually, that COULD happen!! :D

    Don't think he can get past Bottas, however.

    Exactly. Because Bottas is faster than Kimi. If Kimi could beat Bottas they would have had a chance. But he can't.

    Kimi should fall back and slow up Ocon. Then Vettel can take them both.

    Good chance that Max' engine will go kablamo. Then Seb will come in 2nd behind Bottas and keeps his WDC chances in tact. Very possible.

    Kimi is the one keeping the pressure on the front so the Renault engine can't relax too much.

    Nice joke that! Very funny.

    40 seconds behind isn't exactly "keeping up the pressure".

    Hamilton sounds a bit desperate over the radio, doesn't he?
