Who will win or who do I want to win?

I am voting for Vettel but worry that he has lost momentum. I hope he digs down and comes back as I find myself rooting against Hamilton.

Hard to envision anything derailing the Hamiltrain at the moment, but one can always hope....

With how Bottas has been performing recently I don't see him going back-to-back wins in Russia. I hate to say it.. but Hamilton.

Unfortunately the 2018 F1 season is over. Hamilton for the race win and title.... It's too bad because I was thinking of going to COTA if it was still undecided.

I think it would still be worth the trip. The cars this year are stunning. The spectacle of F1 and support races that surrounding the F1 event should make it fun. Minus the traffic getting into the event each day

after watching quali and the dispondant body language by the F team it would seem they believe its over.

we went to COTA 2014, gr8 event although heavy traffic to and from. Really liked the support races from Ferrari and Porsche Cup cars

I have to say watching FP2 and Quali today was absolutely boring. We're right back where we were with the gap between MB and Ferrari.

Based on every single session so far, I don't see how the front of the pack is interesting tomorrow unless something weird happens at the start. Lots of fast cars coming through from the back but Mercedes appears to have that old magic back.

We need the "Kvyat missile" to make things more interesting tomorrow!

And it wasn't boring when Ferrari were clearly faster? Mercedes have obviously worked harder and smarter, and Hamilton is driving superbly (even given the small error on the last run in Q3). It's looking like Vettel can only win in the best car.

Yes, I'm a Hamilton fan!

Q2 boring because engine penalties have Red Bulls at back of grid and they didn't even go on track. Q3 boring because Mercedes has found some new "tricks", as Hamilton likes to call them when someone else's car is faster than the Silver Arrows. Only bright spot was Haas on row 3.
