5 Live commentators trying to explain what it would be like if you're travelling on the outside lane of the motorway, in heavy rain and your wipers fail.

My prediction: we'll get going then that 50 minutes of heavy rain we were promised will turn up and we'll get a final red flag.

It would sad if we saw Hamilton making a mistake and then crashes out of the race because of the wet track and handing the title to Rosberg

And it would be equally bad if Rosberg crashes out and Hamilton winning the race, cutting the gap of the Drivers Championship even more

I think they will let them get to lap 54 then stop it. There should be enough time to get them to lap 54 before then time runs out

And I think that's the moment Hamilton won the title - that Max had a half spin and Rosberg couldn't take advantage of it and take back second place.

Man, things got even worse for Massa. Couldn't be much worse than that for him. Let's hope he gets a better final race.

Assuming you mean "race" not title, don't be so sure of that, anything could happen now... SC yet again, pit lane closed, Merc can't do the pit stop they need.

It just seems written in the stars that Hamilton will come back and win the title. He's kept the gap to a manageable level and he's in another league in these conditions. All he'll need is rain in Abu Dhabi and he's home and dry (no pun intended) reliability permitting.

Even without it he has the upper hand.

Go to 75% behind SC red flag and then don't restart it?

Ham & Ros can't pit without losing loads of track position.
Was about to say that the Red Bulls will take them both but Ric just came in for full wets!!!
crazy race!

Be on the right tyre at the right time, they say. Why drivers have constantly been coming in for inters throughout this race has flabbergasted me.

Ok, so this race has been crazy. the Merc's yet again have not been able to race each other properly. Could I be a bit nasty and ask for a Rosberg failure/crash and for this all to be decided by racing skill at Abu Dhabi.
Neither Merc can pit because the other one would take a chance to stay out even though their tyres are trashed!

If it stays as it is now it'll be decided at Abu Dhabi?
