Not unless Vettel decides to bin it several races in a row.

So it's not Hamilton's great drive that won him the race, but the weather..?

Realistically, the last few titles have all been won with around 250 points (corrected). So Vettel only really needs about 50 points to secure the championship, for he still has a 77 point lead.

Also not letting Webber get past on the same corner was important. I think Lewis will have good memories of that corner.

Chandhok 4 laps down, behind Ricciardo. I think he's way out of his depth.

@InsideFerrari: Fernando is the driver who scored more points in the last three races, a confirmation of the progress we made.

Hungary then 4 week break :(

I'm not buying the fact that Vettel has lost his pace. Sure, 6 in 8 has become 6 in 10, but he still has a huge lead and the best car.

The weather was a huge factor today and Lewis's talent allowed him to take advantage of it.

If the Red Bull's are bad in the cold, I'm looking forward to the Arctic conditions in Singapore and Abu Dhabi. Wait..
