Weren't half of those after Lewis had already trashed him in the WCD and won it with 3 races to go? lmbo.

Hmm and yet when Rosberg does the same thing at the end of 2016 the Hamilton fans whine that Lewis had one more win than Rosberg. Sad!

If he had a car that no other team could compete with maybe he could. I'm not a Hamilton fan but you are being deluded.

Please look up Riccardo Patrese's performance in the 1992 Williams, or basically any of Rubens Barrichello's Ferrari seasons. Do you think those guys could have won seven races in a row

Yes, but it was well known a few races out that Rosberg was safe finishing second in the remaining races of the season. Which he did.

My point was that in the last races of 2015, Rosberg had nothing to lose because the WDC was already decided, and Lewis didn't have to give a poo poo because he'd already won it. 2016 was the complete opposite of that?

e: Unless you're implying that Rosberg didn't even have to try in the last few races because he knew finishing 2nd was a peice of piss? Which would kind of make my point about Rosberg not having any competition aside from his own teammate....

In 2016, it wasn't worth it for Rosberg to take chances fighting for the win in the last few races because he knew he could win the title by P2-ing out the season. This meant that Hamilton won the last four races which caused his fanbase, and the entire British media, to cry that Hamilton had somehow been hard done.

The great brilliance of Rosberg is that he was mentally broken by Hamilton for like three years, overcame it, shattered Hamilton's confidence, then just rode off into the sunset so Hamilton could never get one back. If there's anything about this era we'll still be discussing in 20 years, beyond Alonso's stunning three straight world titles, it's that.

It's the exact same thing, in both situations it had zero outcome on the WDC if they kept winning.

Force One? Couldn't get much more generic except if they called it "Race Car Driving Team". If I ever come into a billion dollars and start a team, that will be the name. No sponsors, bare carbon shells, driver's helmets straight black or white from the factory. Actually, now that idea is kind of making me aroused.

A few of my friends and I wrench on cars and flip them in our spare time. Our skill level isn't high so some of our methods for getting stuff done are....unusual or inefficient. We refer to ourselves as HSI Racing.... Or, Haggard Scrub Idiot Racing.

Watch for us taking to the grid in 2020.

Imagine the announcer's delight... "and Race Car Driving Team has won its second consecutive constructors title! Their name says what they are, and they are undoubtedly the best in the world at it! We may have scoffed at their initial grid entry, but seeing the pure simplicity of these elegant carbon fiber machines push to the front of the pack race after race has endeared them to us. Thousands of fans have flocked to the venue today, wearing plain black or white shirts and hats, supporting their respective favourite drivers. The monochromatic tide is now rolling to the podium for the celebration."

I don't think a tin pot dictatorship would put that much effort in. It's more of a "I want to completely disappear" type of move, although I may be slightly more optimistic.
