That is true - look what happened at the start last year! However, Nico does seem to be on a roll recently. I'd say that it's a safe bet that he'll win it.
The big question is - why couldn't he do these sort of performances at the start of the year? Has it got something to do with the new tyre regulations?
If he wins - it'll put him on a high for next year - and then that might put Lewis on the backfoot. Remember, winning back-to-back titles can take it out of a driver(look at Häkkinen and Vettel for example). It's a lot of ifs - I accept, and do think that Lewis is an all round better driver than Nico, but it does pose some questions for next year.
