Hamilton will also go down in history as Britain's best F1 driver - ever. Lets be honest, if the future is Jolyon Palmer, there's not much to look forward to when Lewis retires..
Alonso has still got a few more seasons left in him, would be great to see him get back up there again, even more fitting to end his career doing something special back in a Renault like 2005...that R25 was an absolute beast of an F1 car.

Lets not talk of Lewis retiring yet, he's got plenty left in him yet!

I reckon he'll stay at Merc as long as they're competitive and if they pull out he'll have a season at mclaren before retiring.
Already one of the greatest of all time imo.

Cant see merc pulling out anytime soon either, they've probably got this constructors in the bag which will be 4th year on the trot!
True. If the last few years are anything to go by they'll already be working on the new twin turbo V6 engines.

still think that is one of the coolest liveries ever. shame they didn't race with it.
The idea was taken from old British war ships, where they were camouflaged to hide their shape.

What is Grosjean banging on about seat belts for? I'd want to make sure I had 3 seat belts and an inflatable bubble around me if he was driving anywhere near me.

Just been confirmed that Hartley will drive for TR in the US. Just reaffirms what we were saying about the lack of younger drivers coming through. Red Bull's young driver programme is sadly lacking at the moment with Ferrari and Mclaren having the 3 best young drivers at the moment in Leclerc, Norris, and Russell.

Alonso has re-signed at McLaren - http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/11088424/fernando-alonso-wants-to-finish-career-with-McLaren
There's also the possibility he'll do Le Mans in 2018, although Indy 500 is unlikely given McLaren will be running Renault engines now

Verstappen signs new 3 year red bull deal, guess we won't be seeing him in a merc anytime soon!

So boring again this year with the Hamilton/Merc domination.
I can't stand Hamilton. He's so big headed, and whines like hell all the time to his engineers complaining about strategies and problems with the car, even when he's on pole or leading/winning a race.
That said, he's certainly up there with the best ever.
I'd love to see Alonso get another drivers crown, but I think that opportunity has passed him by.
Mainly down to the lack of support at McLaren when he went there in 2007 as Ron Dennis had Hamilton tinted spectacles on all year. He went there as #1, and should have been treated as #1.
Secondly when he was at Ferrari, the car just wasn't quite good enough to challenge a dominant Vettel.
He certainly wrings the neck out of anything he drives.
I'm hoping for good things out of the Renault power unit next year, lets hope its not another Honda debacle.
