All over!
Nico Rosberg wins the Chinese Grand Prix.
This is Nico Rosberg's third win this season and it gives him six wins after each other from the previous season.
Nobody has ever done that before and not won the Championship.

As you say, a lot of racing to be done yet and you can never write Lewis Hamilton off.
The same problems that have beset Lewis now could easily happen to Nico later on.
But Lewis’s title defence must be in doubt.
If I had to bet on a 2016 winner it would be Nico Rosberg .

Just a thought;
Nico Rosberg may not be considered to one of the "greats"
but---
Nico Rosberg wins the Russian Grand Prix. Seven race wins in a row.
Nico Rosberg takes his first ever Grand Slam - pole, race win and fastest lap.
Lewis Hamilton comes second with a great drive and good damage limitation.
Nico Rosberg now leads Hamilton by 43 points in the drivers' championship.
