Starting a new thread (before the last one gets split again)...:smileytongue:
It is 2018, The year of the Halo... Like it or hate it, it will be implemented as part of new FIA rules
None of the 2018 cars have been revealed yet (that happens in February) but this is how it will look
Most drivers' aren't keen but are having to toe the party line...

Don't forget you have Max between the first Ferrari of Kimi @jonsie.
Yes he will take some getting past. Just hoping Lewis doesn't have any mechanical issues and they get the pit strategy right.
What I would really like to see in an ideal world would be a one/two for Mercedes and for Lewis to allow Bottas to pass on the last lap.....

As long as they both keep going I don't think it will happen this race, unless Vettel is finishing way back in the pack.
Toto will want the WDC tied up before he looks for heroics.
As I've said before though, once Lewis wins the wdc, he never wins another race for the remainder of the season.
Bottas will have his chance then....

Yes that makes sense. Shame it's on so early, I don't intend seeing the light of day before noon but at least I can record it.

Well I'm up, the sun is shining in Suzuka. Track temperature 40c.
Doubt they will need any wet tyres....

Pleased for Daniel. He deserved driver of the day.
Sky have just mentioned that Lewis just needs to score 8 more points than Vettel and the championship is his...
