Nico knew that he lucked his way into a fluke championship, and that Lewis would come back next season motivated to absolutely crush him. Better to retire now than to leave no doubt about his fraudulent ways.

I don't think it will be Wehrlein, as that won't help them secure another WCC, they are going to want an experienced driver.

Alonso would be the best choice, but putting him with Lewis again? I don't know.....

Vettel might quit Ferrari too....

Also, Ron Dennis to Ferrari?

Fast Heikki to Mercedes confirmed?

I really hope it's Verstappen because Ocon or Werlhein or whoever else would get absolutely destroyed by Lewis.

What if one of them destroys Lewis, permanently cementing both Lewis and Nico as the biggest frauds in history?

Retiring right after beating somebody for the first time in 18 years of racing together is the ultimate bitch move IMO.

Remember when you were 10 years old, and your best friend / older brother beat you 18 times in a row at tekken?
Remember winning once, then throwing down the controller and lauding the victory, and not playing the brother / friend again?

Nico Rosberg everybody!

I mean, if an actual factual statement made without any embellishment, adjectives or editorial-speak is "belittling" then who really is at fault?
The best burns are always where you speak truth people want to ignore in their own story.

The best post. Just a terrific post. The classiest, most luxurious post. I can tell you that.

Rosberg gets to go out on top and spend more time with his hot wife

Win-win

His wife looks like a cartoon caricature of a German.

Nico's only goal in life was to beat Lewis. Once he managed to do that he retired.

I think you will find that there are two good Rosbergs.

Who's the other good Rosberg besides Keke? :confused:

I wouldn't rule out Hulkenberg yet. He would be a solid #2 driver and I think it would be relatively cheap to buy out his contract with Renault.

And they can reuse all the nico merchandise they already have at the warehouse.

Was nice of them not to take a dig at Our Rossie by saying they wanted someone who could hit the apex of corners reliably while under threat of being overtaken

OK, I did a quick wikipedia search, and it looks like Mick Schumacher is 17 now, so he wouldn't break Max's youngest driver record even if he did start next season. Michael must be rolling over in his grave, having been beaten by Jos at something.

He's just joining the long line of people who've been beaten by Jos.

They could always do something like promote Gary Paffett from the test drivers role. He's got plenty of experience working as McLaren's test driver and then Williams' test driver.

Give Jack Nicholls a TV commentating gig. He did a good job with Formula E and then the BBC radio F1 coverage.

The hybrid era cars are easy to drive in that drivers are lifting and coasting through corners and driving at 60% to optimize fuel consumption and tire wear.
