  That is one less than Alain Prost, who is all-time second on the list, behind Schumacher.
  
  Hamilton now 26 points behind his team-mate, with 3 GP's left.

  
  Which means that if Nico Rosberg finishes second in all the races left he has won, by at least 5 points, no matter how Lewis gets on.

  thats a shame being a Lewis fan and to be honest I think he'll do better and win at least one of those races so he'll have to have dreadful races in the other 2 for Lewis to stand a chance. I really want Nico to get a dnf, it's the only way for Lewis to comeback, we need some reliability issues

  He just can't shake that Nico off his back. Rosberg jumped on to the front row in the last seconds, after looking like being only 4th in qualifying, so it will be all about the start again in Mexico. However, the Ferraris and Red Bulls are looking a bit better and could split the two of them up.

  19 points now. A wild braking failure at the first corner nearly cocked the whole thing up, lucky boy.
  
  
  Entertaining radio messages and hand signals from Vettel at the end of the race.
  Apparently this Charlie Whiting dude is a bleeping beep beep.
  Let's hear the uncensored cut.

  Even with the lead cut, Nico only needs to finish 3rd in the final 2 races to win the driver's championship by a single point ( assuming Lewis wins each race )
  
  Lewis can, probably, only win if Nico doesn't finish in either of the final races.

  any one else feel that lewis was lucky not to get a penalty for cutting the 1st corner at the start im only saying this because max got a 5 second penalty for doing the same thing later in the race i dont understand why 1 driver gets a penalty and the other does not surely if it not a penalty on the first lap then it should not be a penalty for the rest of the race ???

  Why did Lewis not get a penalty? I have been thinking about that one and I think he managed to pull the wool over the stewards eyes with his radio message to his team shortly after that incident. He said there was 100 degrees difference between his brakes (is that even possible?) in an excitable manner, he knew race control would hear that and think, fair enough that explains why he couldn't stop in time, we'll let that slide.

  i wonder if lewis would of made the corner say if that was at monaco or monza  ;) ;)

  yeah he was definitely lucky not to get a penalty, as was vettel for his profanity when he was talking on the mic which other drivers would have been penalised for. But unfortunately its all but over for our brit because Nico has got this title in the bag
