I feel I should be writing about the upcoming final GP of the season in Brazil, but I’m not sure what there is left to say to be honest.

Looking at the bare facts, Lewis Hamilton is in the same position as last year with a 7 point lead heading into this final race but in actual fact it’s all different.

Firstly, last year he had had a much larger lead in previous races which had dwindled away due to huge mistakes on the part of Hamilton and his team whereas this year he has actually increased his lead on the way to this race.  That must put him in a much better place mentally.

This was being billed as a big weekend for English sport - first up today was the final of the Rugby World Cup, followed tomorrow by Lewis Hamilton striving to win the F1 World Championship.

Unfortunately, the first part hasn’t gone to plan, as the English were beaten in a pretty poor, nervy game by South Africa.  There wasn’t a huge amount of good flowing rugby played, and as seems to be the norm these days the emphasis was on kicking penalties and drop goals rather than winning by scoring tries.

It has been noted in the past that following revelations this season, McLaren have been issued with an FIA supervisor who is to oversee all their goings on this weekend and ensure that Fernando Alonso has a fair chance of winning the world championship ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton.

This is surely the most damaging thing the sport has seen this year, and that’s saying something.

To think that the governing body feels the need to take a proactive step to stop cheating, rather then the usual reactive step of punishing someone after they have broken the rules, is worrisome in my view.
