Hamilton has won 9 races to Rosberg's 4 so far. If he loses on the double points finale it will be a bit disappointing. |

Yeah, but boring that one. As much as I want Lewis to win, I'm no more excited by him leading unchallenged for 50 laps than I was when Vettel was doing it. |

I think that's a bit harsh on Button. He always performs well, but never gets the recognition he deserves. He destroyed Magnussen last season, yet he was going to be overlooked for him. I do agree that he will struggle in comparison to Alonso though, Alonso is the best driver on the grid in my opinion. |

I think that Alonso will be quicker. If not straight away then probably as the season goes on but I don't think the difference will be embarrassing. |

It's been a long time since Jenson has been out-performed over the course of a season by a teammate, so it's going to be interesting. Trooper wrote: Alonso is the best driver on the grid in my opinion. And has been for some time. |

The results may have been skewed by numerous retirements from the lead by his teammate, but the difference was pretty clear, particularly in the mid season. |

There is a much bigger difference between a drivers level between his first and second year than any point later. Particularly now they get approximately sod all testing prior to the first race. |

I think his performance there relative to Hamilton shows that he's a pretty top notch driver. Two points over a season in 2010. He's certainly not some sort of bum who is going to get "destroyed" by Alonso anyway. Looking forward to seeing what'll happen, though. Because although the Ferrari was a bit shit this year I still didn't see much from Alonso that reminded me why everyone reckons he's the best. |

If forced to choose between the two would you have given Heidfeld the drive over Kubica in 2008 given Heidfeld massively outscored his (effectively) rookie team mate in 2007? |

It depends on your plans for the future, I guess - if you think you're in with a good shot of winning the next season, you keep the guys who are proved to be good. If you think your season is a few years away, you keep the talented rookies, like Red Bull did. [edit]Although I realise Red Bull are a special case. |

I'm sure all the teams also plan several years in advance, looking at who else is likely to be up for grabs in the 2016, 17, 18 seasons and so on. They'll know what drivers will be out of contract and who's looking promising in lower formulas that they might want to snap up. |
