Do you feel like a hero yet?
I just don't get the reason to be so loving upset. I'm a Hamilton fan, but the guy has 3 WDCs and what, 52 or so wins?. That's loving impressive. Not having number 4 is a little disappointing, but it's not like its the end of the world for him or the folks that follow him (Although from what I've seen on the internet so far, you'd think the sky had fallen). I say well done to Rosberg, and look forward to a great 2017.

Also, between Nico, Lewis and Vettel, that was 8 WDCs on the podium. Impressive, but not so much when you consider Schumacher managed 7.

Nico Fraudberg being a WDC devalues that title so much that they might as well have let David Arquette win it.

Hamilton is never going to get a fair shake from toto. He should take button's seat at mclaren and get ready to take the title in case they ever get a car together.

Lewis will be at Mercedes until their car isn't the best because he isn't an idiot and Mercedes knows he is still one of the best drivers in the field. The only thing that would stop this is if Toto or other Merc people get big puffed up egos and want to prove they are the reason for their dominance and not the drivers.

poo poo drivers jealous of the abilities of a true WDC who won despite adversity rather than making GBS threads the bed in WDC winning cars like they did. They just wish that McLaren/Red Bull were stupid enough to hand the championship to their inferior joke drivers like F1's DNC, Mercedes did today.

It honestly would have made things a bit more interesting instead of "Oh, Mercedes is way out in front". At least F1 had the presence of mind to go "... ok, considering we're having the same thing as the past two years, let's focus on the mid pack" on broadcasts.
