Well I think the Championship is over before the Race even started. Vettel, the Ferrari driver has a three-place grid penalty for failing to slow down sufficiently under red-flag conditions in Friday’s Free Practice 1 session. But Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admitted he would rather such factors did not come into play for Sunday's potential title showdown. "It’s difficult because there was a decision that I thought was a bit harsh against Esteban last weekend and it sets a precedent," he commented before Vettel's penalty was confirmed. "And for the championship, obviously it’s not good if Sebastian would get a penalty - we’d rather have him there and put on a great show."
