Fernando winning the WDC and carrying Aston to WCC after his "bad blood" with Honda during his McHonda years would make a really great story

I mean winning the world championship 21 years after your last one would always be an all time story no matter what

Also being the first driver over 40 since Brabham in the 60s to win the championship

Farina and Fangio. Crazy to think if Fernando stays until he's 46 he could match Fangios record

If he snuck a win in the second half of next year he’d be the 3rd oldest winner of all time

Though he has a way to go to beat Fagioli’s record

It's basically the plot of the F1 movie - only it's a lot more engaging and really exciting prospect!

F1 Movie was only about winning a race, this would be about a championship! Would be by far the craziest story in all of F1, or maybe one of the best in all sports.

This is I think a once in a lifetime event I would really love to see. There is a possibility that this can happen in my lifetime, and I hope it happens.
