With the different tyre strategies, the "what ifs" are fascinating.

My belief now is that Max will win.

Max will make a very fast start on the soft tyres and Lewis will slot in behind without putting up a fight.

However, unless Lando can hold him back, Checo will be all over the back of the Mercedes on the first 10 laps or so while his soft tyres are fresh and faster than Lewis' medium tyres.

That will either slow Lewis down while he's defending or Lewis will risk a crash by defending against Checo or Checo will get past Lewis and then slow him down to let Max build up a lead before the soft tyres go off.

Unfortunately, Valteri will hide away from the fight a bit further down the field stuck behind those pesky red cars.

If Lewis wins from this position, he will rightly deserve the 8th championship.

All of course IMHO
