F1 is an entertainment industry and the most boring person just won, by being consistent and boring. My salty tears are real but the juicy backing up on it tactics have at least made it interesting!

Well done Nico now gently caress off and become a software salesman or some poo poo and leave entertaining to the entertainers.

Wait. It won't happen but Lewis for Nando for 2017 would be best for everyone (but Lewis) he gets his precious number one driver status back and Mercedes don't have to deal with his bullshit.

Nico's mum is adorable.

Just a thought, if Lewis's tactics today are fine, when do drivers start doing this from the start of the season... negative racing

When the risk of throwing away the lead is outweighed by the gains of possibly having whoevers behind you lose a place, it's only going to be a last race thing

Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Nico Rosberg,
tolles Manöver gegen Verstappen und absolut verdienter Weltmeister :!: :thumbs_up:

Kann mich nicht erinner, wann ich das letzte Mal bei einem Rennen so gezittert habe, wie in den letzten fünf Runden :mrgreen:
Auch ein großes Lob an Vettel, der sich der Situation der letzten Runden angemessen und absolut korrekt verhalten hat und nicht Lewis Wunsch entsprach, ein beinhartes Alles-oder-Nichts-Manöver zu versuchen :) :thumbs_up:

Jetzt ist die größte Last bei Rosberg weg, er ist im Olymp angekommen und kann ab nächstem Jahr befreit auffahren.
Dies Bedeutet nicht, dass er nun der Favorit im Mercedes-Team ist, dies bleibt Hamilton, den ich generell definitiv einen Tick schneller einschätze.
Dies bedeutet aber, dass das Leben für Hamilton nun mit Sicherheit nicht einfacher wird, mit einem Rosberg, der keinen Druck mehr hat :rotate:

This is what I mean as a racing driver. It would have come to my mind [to back him up] and it came to others’ mind. Christian [Horner, Red Bull boss] had the same idea before the weekend, he followed Christian’s instruction so maybe he wants to drive for him!
