   I think that if Hamilton didn't believe he could win another   
   championship he would have retired.  He has plenty of other interests.   
      
   I suspect that most of the grid believes they could win the championship   
   with the right car - even drivers almost all of us would assess as   
   having no chance.  Hands up if, before the 2016 season, you thought   
   Rosberg would ever be able to beat Lewis to the championship.

      criticism, and there's been very little gratitude for this.
