Button saved McLaren's bacon, Force India almost stole that WCC position from them.

Congrats to Lewis.

Be interesting to see how testing goes in February, but I'd be surprised if anyone can catch the Mercs still.

F1 official testing will be starting in a few weeks time.

The first few days of testing can be misleading, but by the time of the second test then there could be some obvious pointers to the form expected for 2015.

I find the markets are slow to react to some obvious (well, obvious to the knowledgeable F1 fan!) trends and patterns.

Perfect example was getting BrawnGP @120 to win the Constructors Championship and Button to win the Drivers Championship @ 80 in 2009. Unfortunately I was too cautious and placed low stakes...
