At last, the time for the talking is over. Ferrari's threats to pull out of F-1 if a proposed plan for a sole engine and transmission supplier goes ahead are taking some headlines, but when the cars are removed from the ! travel-containers, the focus will move back to business in Brazil.During the week leading up to China, the weight on the shoulders of Lewis Hamilton was enourmous. The title was his to lose, and virtually everyone was predicting that he would self-destruct during the run in. Then came his total control of the entire weekend, ending with a lights to flag win. His body language and post race emotions showed a new Lewis Hamilton. He was calm, cool and more importantly, seemed to be far more focused and 'measured' in his reaction. It was all about a new approach to discipline, and Ron Dennis dropped the clue when reminding Lewis on the radio after he took the flag, and I quote: "Remember to keep the discipline Lewis".
I have every confidence that Lewis will maintain that approach in Brazil, and as Felipe Massa feels the weight of a nation on his shoulders, it will be Lewis who will be left to remain calm, and get the job finished. But ! then there is always the mechanical factor. And the fact that ! it's the final round, a race that Murphy just loves to visit to apply some laws.
