Battle done too soonLewis Hamilton grasped his chance, as he always does, with both hands at Suzuka. But in truth, short of a two-race failure for Hamilton, his fourth title is all but in the bag. McLaren’s exciting young talent Lando Norris is the only current serious British contender but is unlikely to be moved into the F1 team for two to three years. Should Hamilton choose to call it a day at the end of 2018, the grid would be entirely bereft of British representation. It is a good deal for ESPN but is it the way to grow the sport?
