Where can he go? Any customer team is not an option.
quite possibly nowhere and that would be sad.
Seb 1.2 behind with 5 laps left, its going to be close.
FFS Hamilton! 
FFS Hamilton!
I don't think so. Hamilton seems to be in control.
He isn't giving up. Fair play to him.
yeah he is controlling the race very well, I did think Sebs new ultra's would play a bigger part.
It might have been a lights out to flag win , but Lewis had to work for it , he controlled the race very well , got a good restart after the SC, Seb apart from that one chance after the restart has not been able to challenge.
Decent race that one. Gorgeous track.
Hamilton has a nose stud.
Lewis driver of the day , well deserved I think.
Great race! Both Lewis and Seb were superb. Congratulations to Hamilton for the win.
Fantasy update
From the owner of the Fantasy Web Site.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will be without internet access around the time of the Belgian Grand Prix. Due to this the results for the race will be delayed, possibly until Friday. Apologies for the inconvenience.
As we have back-to-back races I will therefore open transfers BEFORE the scores have updated after the Belgian Grand Prix so you have time to make changes for the Italian Grand Prix. For this race only driver values will not change and teams will not receive extra cash.

Mercedes just have a superior machine.....Vettel should of been able to challenge on those US.
FFS Perez...what bellend.

Sergio Perez is an absolute moron.
Think it's more to do with regulations where top cars cannot actually overtake each other due to turbulence. Didn't Vettel have a knackered car in last race and Kimi could not overtake and Hamilton could not get close to Kimi.
No, Kimi intentionally slowed down to stay in front of Hamilton and let Vettel win. It was actually good driving and teamwork by Kimi
Good, tense race. Top driving from Seb & Lewis. Was very impressed with Lewis' tactics in the restart to let Seb close up earlier through Eau Rouge to force him out of the slipstream earlier. That Merc engine is mighty too.
Force India being stupid. They need to sort that out. Felt sorry for Palmer too, guy can't get a break.
Rest of the season is going to be great. Have a feeling that Seb will just do enough - that Ferrari is great in higher down force tracks and can just about keep up in the power circuits too. Hamilton needs full points next weekend or I think it'll start to slip away from him slowly.

Does someone here have a sense of races left for downforce (e.g. Singapore) vs power (e.g. Monza)? What are we looking at?

United States Grand Prix - Power18
Mexican Grand Prix - Downforce19
Brazilian Grand Prix - Downforce20
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - PowerAll the varying degrees. The last 4 are really hard to categorise as they're really a proper mix of both. I'd expect the Mercs to do better in USA & Abu Dhabi with a couple of really long straights whilst Brazil & Mexico are generally a little tighter through the middle sectors requiring.
Reliability may well be the key factor. A DNF for either Seb or Lewis could decide the title.
Fernando Alonso has given his clearest indication yet he will leave McLaren at the end of the season unless they drop Honda.
McLaren, for whom only Renault appear to be a viable option for a fresh power supply next year, will make a decision on their engine suppliers in the next month.
But the decision now also appears to be inextricably linked to the future of their star driver with Alonso's confidence in Honda after three years of frustration seemingly extinguished.
Asked after the Belgian GP if he would leave McLaren if the team renew vows with Honda, Alonso replied: "We will see what happens in the next couple of weekends. McLaren is always one of the best teams in the world and I would be happy to keep working with them but we need to see how things evolve in the next couple of weeks."

Looks even as you say and I certainly agree on the dnf. Would be surprised to see both go all season without a dnf.I'd rate them as follows (feel free to disagree!):

Heading off to Monza shortly. Should catch a bit of FP1, some support practices and all of FP2.
Went to do the grid walk yesterday which was pretty cool. Absolutely rammed though saw Sainz & Alonso which was awesome!
Great atmosphere around the track. Thunderstorms this morning and heavy downpours which could make it interesting. Very much Intermediate weather at the moment, but very warm still so the track could dry quickly.
I can post some photos later if anyone is interested? Won't get the best ones off my DSLR until I get home, but will take a couple of phone ones!

The podium celebrations with the huge crowd and Italian flags is just spectacular. My favourite podium of the calendar. Enjoy!
the start of FP3 delayed indefinitely due to the heavy rain.
They have to have some sort of cut off point , Q1 is due to start in 3 hours, but if the rain does not stop that will be delayed also.

SC is out now and it does not look good, the SC is slipping and sliding around.
That track is just not safe right now.

Just read there should only be light rain during qualifying.

It's raining quite heavily.
Red flag due to aquaplaning to Grosjean. Lewis and Seb did well to get off with 1st and 2nd so far.
Re-start of sessione delayed. Next information 14:30.
15 minute wait at least...
Not gonna start anytime soon. Still raining strong here(i live like 10-15 km away from the track)
