Not the best of results for you, Scott, but you're still up at number 2.

On a brighter note, Lewis is World Champion again! I have a feeling that
he will repeat this a couple more times. He has skill and, more
importantly, passion.

The race was a bit of an anti-climax, although it just shows how easily 
that could have happened to Lewis' car. Amazing start though, it's not 
often a driver makes up that much time on the rest of the field before 
the first corner.

The only concern for Lewis is that Rosberg certainly has the speed (as 
shown in qualifying), just not the consistency over a race distance or 
the racecraft. But those two things could easily come with experience of 
running in a top car in a top team. Some people say it's boring when one 
car dominates, but I think that's only the case if it's also one driver 
dominating (as happened with Schumacher and Vettel). Here you've got two 
drivers who are pretty close in terms of performance, but I still hope 
some of the other teams catch up a bit next year.

Certainly you've got a tough month coming up. Arsenal, Man U and us as
well as a few also-rans but don't give up yet. Man City was always going
to be a difficult match to win, though I have to admit that I didn't
expect the score-line to be as bad as it was.

I'm not going to add salt to the wound but you did well to hold the
Gunners to the last two minutes. My heart goes out to you.

On the other hand, we slaughtered your mortal enemies :-)
