But the talking is nearly over, and it's almost time for two drivers to settle it on the track, once and for all in a chaotic campaign. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff told reporters that his drivers' relationship is like a volcano ready to erupt while Hamilton has been toying with his team-mate both on and off the track, his most recent body shot being that he would be the "moral champion" of 2016. There are, however, other questions that Rosberg could answer in a matter of hours, such as how mentally strong he really is and if he can handle the mounting pressure. Whether he truly battles Hamilton on-track in a bid to wrap up the title in style, meanwhile, a scenario we haven't seen all year, could also shape his legacy in the sport. Whether he would be a deserved champion or not has been a talking point up and down the paddock as Formula 1 prepared for it's season climax - but that's subjective. The charging Red Bulls and Ferraris might just give Rosberg a sleepless night. Given that contact with another car is probably the biggest risk in his quest for a maiden title, pole was just as important for Nico as it was for Lewis and the German now must walk the plank down to Turn One with an eagle eye on both mirrors. "It just wasn't possible for me to do that time today," a dejected Rosberg conceded.
