    With the poor performance of both of Mercedes' cars in the race, one wonders if Lewis Hamilton is having second thoughts at joining them for next year. Michael Schumacher is still one of the best drivers in F1, yet he has only managed one podium finish with Mercedes. At least McLaren is in a position to challenge for the title. Mercedes is not. Plus it looks like Red Bull has finally got their act together again. Vettel champion this year and next? Could well be.
