Pole-Sitter Lewis Hamilton? Maybe, he's got a chance, but only if he can conserve his tires. He probably used his tires the most out of anyone in the top 10 because in order to get pole position you have to use all of the track, therefore just using them more. Plus, Hamilton is not know for being the best tire conserver. However, he will be pushing especially hard to get his first win with Mercedes, and to finally put to rest the doubters who still challenge his decision to move from Mclaren.
Kimi? Improbable, his car is not that good. Grosjean was off the pace and they probably won't have the advantage of knowing the tires better for this race. While it is possible, if the front-runners take each other out or run into problems.
Alonso? Most likely, he's in his sweet spot, 3rd through 7th, where he managed last year to almost win the championship. Podium by podium. He hasn't won one this year, and it seems like it's time for him to start.
Rosberg? Possibly, he's got all eyes on him and Hamilton, and he said he could have gained two more positions in qualy, hinting that Mercedes could have gone 1-2. He could do it and if he did it would be spectacular. He should have a chance, but he could just run the race in the near-podium positions.
My prediction: Alonso
Expert's Pick: Alonso
