Hamilton or Rosberg which do you want to be the World Champion?

[Guy Fawkes]

I would like Hamilton to win it but have a feeling that his car will suffer a failure and he won't complete the race, meaning that Rosberg will win the title. (German team engineer a failure for the British driver so that the German driver wins the title for a German team which will probably be their winning preference)

Would Hamilton have already won the title if Rosberg hadn't deliberately hit Hamilton, (something he later admitted?) forcing Hamilton's retirement from the race? (can't remember which one race it was now)

Not quite. Even if Lewis had gone on to win that race, that would have given him 25 more points increasing his current lead to 42. So with 50 for the winner on Sunday, it would still not be mathematically done and dusted yet.

I want Rosberg to win because Hamilton just rubs me up the wrong way. If it's a result of double points though that will sour the whole thing for me.

 

[Czechmate]

I put 'meh' , you should really ask Mercedes they probably have sorted out the final positions after the incident when Rosberg went into Lewis on purpose .

Double points in the last race is stupid .

 

[Gritt23]

It has to be Hamilton. Even ignoring the fact that he's British, he has been clearly the better driver. If he suffers mechanical problems at this race, enabling Rosberg to edge home courtesy of double points, then that would be unjust IMHO.

 

[Pavilionaire]

For the good of the sport F1 officials must be praying Hamilton finishes in the Top 2. He has outperformed Rosberg this season, so for the credibility of the sport you need the best to come out on top.

As a side issue, I'll be watching Massa with interest. It would be ironic if he made contact with Hamilton and deprived him of the Championship, gaining some revenge for Brazil GP 2008.

 

[Frutos]

Hamilton for me.

Perhaps if he and Rosberg are both on the front row, he'll do what his hero Ayrton Senna did in Japan in 1990.

I hope so. That would be great.

Oops. Sorry Nico.

Having met Rosberg on a couple of occasions and even had a drink with him I hope he wins. Whoever ends up as champion has managed it by only beating his team mate, the car is that far advanced and in my opinion has made this year one of the worst championships on record. Just as well Alonso isn't in the best car because I think we could have seen the first whitewash.

Alonso would have won the races that Hamilton failed to finish?

I'd rather he won out on the track, but if it looks in doubt a full on Banzai charge at some point would not disappoint me.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Just drive into the dinnny- Finny Lewis

 

[hans kraay fan club]

If he's near enough to him to drive into him, then he's near enough to cruise along behind him and pick up the points he needs, anyway - would still be funny though.

That said, if I were Hamilton, and my car developed a fault, that meant I knew I was not going to reach the end of the race, then it would be game on...

You sound like a Spaniard

Alonso is good but Hamilton would give him a run for his money.

Alonso couldn't beat Hamilton more than 50% of the time when Hamilton was in his first season in F1 at MClaren so he wouldn't be doing it any more often now.

 

[Geestar]

Hamilton the better by driver and hes English...

He is English and travels the world watching F1 but I also know, as he sits reasonably near me at The Amex, he cannot stand Hamilton as a person disregarding driving ability.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

It is a disgrace and puts F1 in a bad light, that he hasnt been crowned champion the latest gimmack of double points is just a farce.

Not often we agree, but definitely this.

 

[Icy Gull]

Hamilton puts down a marker by being quickest in both practice sessions today as he's done in pretty well every Friday practice session this season apart from at the last Grand Prix in Brazil ( I think)

 

[Lower West Stander]

Seriously - why would anyone want Hamilton to lose the title in the last race of the season to a German?

 

[dangull]

This must be a British thing, not rooting for the successful local sportsman,we rather would make the plucky losing under dog like Damon Hill, Frank Bruno, Eddie the eagle as far more popular. Hamilton to beat the Geman in a German car is a no brainer for me.
