We will see in a hour or so. Merc haven't had a pole since Budapest and Lewis will be itching for one I reckon. Regradless of that, I think Hamilton will win the race even if he doesn't get pole today. Mercedes have clearly focussed on Sundays for most of this season and, aside from the odd blip, they have been showing the rest of the field the way race mangement wise.

I think your commment about this circuit not having much longer to run (because of the environment) is spot on. So much so we are thinking of going again next year while we can. It'll be a damn shame if this circuit disappears from the calendar. Get out there while you can folks.
