Bloke with the best car usually wins. I only watch it for the crashes on turn 1 and then switch off.

But you have at least 2 blokes with the best car as each team has 2 identical cars with 2 different drivers

At least 2 blokes with the best car? There are not 3 in a team so there are ONLY 2 blokes with the best car. Then again as teams issue orders to drivers to race for the benefit of the constructors and not themselves then they ultimately decide which is the best car and set it up accordingly.

Bloke lucky enough to be driving said car wins.

I don't think they team set up cars differently for 1 driver to win. They can and do issue team orders though but not every time. And very rarely one team is best in all circuits. Difference is also very small between the 2 strong teams. An F1 team is not only the driver, just as it's not all up to the striker in a football team.

Looks like Bottas will give Lewis a run for his money.

Ferrari not looking good as I hinted at before the first race, the head shaking by the Ferrari pit wall on the first qualifying session of the season was very telling...

Botas as I said - could be allowed to win the title this year, he deserves something for playing wingman last year..

Mercedes will win the title, 4th 1-2 in a row....

Bottas will win it if he is better than the others, Merc always allowed it's drivers to race unless the points gap is too big.

Tired hi mate, do you mean like the token win they let Rosburg have?

He knew that would be it for him until his contract ended, that is why he retired earlier than the expiry of his contract...

Bottas is in the shot gun position, NO one will be ahead of Lewis unless it suits Merc to have 2 x world champions, Lewis will be allowed to win this year if Bottas messes it up through pressure, or his car has multiple issues through the season..

Mercs have had Lewis on their payroll since he was 10 years old..

FYI - Shumacker jr, he has started testing with Ferrari F1, he now drives F2.... Maybe the kid has his family driving genetics, looks like it... Be a great story... When he drives F1 for Ferrari/Alpha...

What token win? I wonder why you watch if you believe everything is planned/arranged

ALL I am saying is Mercs are WAY ahead of the rest, 5 of 5 wins and second places..

As long as Mercs stay reliable, it's their's to lose...

If you have an asset (Lewis), that costs 20+million per year, you want that asset to win, keeps the SPONSERS happy as they will be paying top dollar for the advertising.....

Yet if the no2 driver can win the title - does it not enable them (Merc), to charge top dollar for BOTH cars???
