Hi guys, found this on the BBC website, you can read the entire Q&A session by accessing the link below, I've posted the bits of the most interest in my humble opinion.
What are the main strengths of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in the fight for the championship?
Phillippa Gillett
"They are different characters and they have known each other a long time. They each know that the other is very resilient. But it's generally recognised that Lewis has a fraction more speed, particularly in qualifying, even if there have been a couple of surprises this year. And it's generally acknowledged that Nico is on a more even keel. It's an intriguing fight, especially with only three points separating them with five races to go."
Which team will Fernando Alonso be racing for in 2015?
Jeevan
"We know Alonso has talked to a number of teams, but are any of them going to be much better than where he is now? My guess is no. However, that did not stop Hamilton leaving McLaren when they looked like being a championship winner and going to what was then a lesser team in Mercedes.
"There is no question Alonso can build a team into a championship winner - he is that good. Just like I think Lewis has helped the whole Mercedes team up their game. "The only place he could go - and I still think there's a possibility of it happening - is McLaren. They do want a top driver next year and for whatever reason the current management don't seem to think Jenson Button is that driver, even though he is a world champion and knows the Honda management well.
"Honda and McLaren want to hit the ground running. They want Alonso or Sebastian Vettel and it's possible both could wind up there. There are moves happening as we speak and possible scenarios that by the end of October there could be a change of management and of drivers in that team."
Who do you think is the best overall driver in F1?
Jarod Taylor
"Difficult one. On any given day, Hamilton, Alonso, even Rosberg. And on their coat tails is Ricciardo. Vettel? He would have been there but I am really confused by him this year. Can it possibly be that the car does not suit him? I can't believe it. Or is it that, as Alonso always stated, 'give him a normal car and we'll see how good he is'? Well, this car is normal. The jury is out for me on Sebastian at the moment. Anyone who can win four world titles is very special but this has been a lacklustre year for him."

I like Eddie, I think there are times he does some silly things or goes over the top but deep down he's an honest bloke.
If I were Alonso, McLaren would be tempting as I am not convinced Ferrari will get it right quicker than McLaren

Don't think Bottas is going anywhere, he's only just signed a new contract with Williams and until Honda prove themselves Williams look the best bet.
I'm sure EJ will be the first to break the McLaren story, he always is! He's an eccentric fellow but he seems friendly enough and knows how to get the best scoops

Not happened at Ferrari

Not convinced he has done it anywhere. Certainly not at Ferrari or Mclaren. Did he do it at Renault during either of his stints there?

I reckon if Mclaren don't sign him, which going from other reports they won't, he will still be at Ferrari next season. Saying that Ferrari have been known to pay people off to give the drive to someone else.
