Hamilton or Rosberg: who'll win this year's F1 world title?

Hamilton heads into summer break with title lead, but can Rosberg bounce back?

Published: 01 Aug 2016

The overarching narrative from this year's Formula One world championship is - was - Lewis Hamilton's 43-point deficit to his team-mate and former championship leader Nico Rosberg.

At Hockenheim over the weekend, Hamilton (who started second) stormed past Nico Rosberg and romped home to victory, managing to secure a 19-point lead.

Yup, lead. Hamilton now tops the drivers' championship standings, and with six wins from the last seven races - including four straight victories - he looks in imperious, devastating form. 

But can you really count out Rosberg? He started off the season in scorching fashion, racking up those victories and what looked to be a huge points buffer, and there's still a heck of a lot of racing left to do.

So we'll keep this one nice and simple. Now the pendulum has swung Lewis' way - and it's pretty much a battle between the Mercedes pair, again - who's your tip for the title, Lewis or Nico?

Use the voting buttons below, and let us know your reasons in the comments section below that.
