Who will be 2018 champion?

Bottom post of the previous page:

I was planning on placing a bet on Trump. Still bother me that I didn't.

[Ian-S]

Same.

[kals]

Same here also. After seeing what happened with Brexit it made me certain that Trump would prevail, as unlikely as it appeared.

[jimclark]

I meant that I questioned your examples of voting for Brexit and Trump being "as bizarre and unlikely as this". Get it?

Nope, not really. What does Brexit and Trump have to do with 'good values'?

How did I know....?

In the words of Porky Pig....

Th-th-th-tha-tha-tha-that's all, folks!

Yes indeed, back to topic. Not that there's that much to discuss in this thread anyway.

On a scale of 1 to weird, this conversation is purple curvy biscuit.

Since the majority on this board have voted Hamilton, this will seal his fate and someone else will win.
How often do we get it right?

[Kai-Star]

I'm just waiting for someone to vote Alonso before Bottas.

[ReneLotus]

I have gone for Vettel. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hamilton win the title again.
I just hope we can have a championship battle without hissy fits, but with more than two contenders. Here's to hoping Red Bull can get in the mix.

I think this year it's too difficult to make a call really. The testing is way too short nowadays to be able to infer anything from it. However, if I were to make a wild prediction, I'd say Mercedes have kept (or even increased) the advantage they have and therefore Hamilton will win again (sadly).

I think it'll be Hamilton, however, I would like to see Bottas win, just so I can see the Hamilton fans lose their collective minds like they did when Rosberg beat Hamilton to the title. I don't think a non-Mercedes will take the title.

Regardless of whether it is Vettel or Hamilton, (if it is one of them) we will see another 5 time champion join Fangio, with both Seb and Lewis currently on 4 each.

You just have to go with Hamilton. Say what you want about his off-track shehnanigans, he always has it together on track. Whereas I've lost faith in Vettel. He throws his toys out the pram too often when he's in a pressure-packed situation, like the Fuck Charlie incident or Azerbaijan and Singapore last year. With the engine situation more or less remaining the same, you have to give it to Lewis. The Finnish second banana of either driver are just there to be wingmen so can't consider either one in all seriousness.

[MonteCristo]

Lewis. Sigh.

[caneparo]

Hamilton. I would have picked verstappen but Mercedes looked on another planet in tests and bottas is only able to shine his boots..
