    Where will Hamilton finish?

    So where do you think Lewis Hamilton will finish this race? There is genuine belief from some of my colleagues that he could actually win. Madness, or do you agree?

    To echo Andrew's thoughts, what a race we have in store!

    On Friday I was lamenting the possibility of a straightforward and comfortable win for Mercedes. That could still be the case after Valtteri Bottas' fine lap in qualifying secured pole position ahead of the Ferraris but with Lewis Hamilton at the back, Fernando Alonso high up the field and Felipe Massa taking part in his final Brazilian Grand Prix, there are more subplots than a standard episode of EastEnders.

    The grey clouds and fine drizzle of Saturday have been replaced by blue skies and sub-tropical sunshine.

    For the first time all year, Lewis Hamilton will not feature in the battle at the front - at least at the start - and while he fights his way through from the back on one of the world’s great race tracks, team-mate Valtteri Bottas has single-handedly to fight off two Ferraris and Max Verstappen’s Red Bull. And the best starter in the business, Fernando Alonso, has his highest grid position of his McLaren-Honda years in sixth. Who needs a world title fight when the ingredients for a race are as enticing as that?
