F1 - Hamilton wins - Yay!

I almost felt bad for Rosberg. Especially at the end when Hamilton was about to lap him and the team suggested that Nico "box" to prevent that embarrassment. Nico said "Let me finish guys" which I thought was good, especially when you could see his eyes through the visor. Later he went to the "winners" room by the podium to congratulate Lewis. Given what had gone on through the rest of the year, I thought that was classy. Yay Lewis. Yay Nico.

As for the Mercedes engineers and their ERS (energy recovery system) design, not so much.

(Robbed us of a car to car fight and Nico of his dream).

I was ecstatic when Lewis was infront before the first corner but it was a shame to see Rosberg have such a catastrophic problem and rob us of the final showdown we'd all been hoping for. For Lewis i'm sure it was a welcome relief!

Indeed agreed Lewis was humble in vectory and Rosberg graceful in defeat.

I'm sure he only won it cos Nicole said she would kiss him on the helmet if he was crowned world champ ;-)

I'm sure that Rosberg would have won if she said the same thing to him before the race - lol !

Yeah Rosbergs attitude at the end was good, he will have certainly earned some respect. Bit of a shambles with McLaren still not letting anyone know what is happening their with drivers for next year

It was a shame that Rosberg had the ERS problem but at least it saved us Brits from too many blood pressure problems. Thankfully the technical issues for Mercedes balanced themselves out across the season. Imagine if the ERS problem had been for Hamilton!! There would have been rioting across car forums worldwide!

A great season I thought, despite Mercedes' dominance we had the drivers title seesaw from one driver to the other and it went down to the wire. The stupid double points system didn't have any silly outcome and really wasn't required as either way the Abu Dhabi race decided it. Hopefully they'll burn that rule and never ever think to reinstate it...

I hope it won't be the last time we see Button in F1, it does look like he knows that his time is up though. His interviews with Sky were really good.

Roll on next season!

I was half expecting/hoping to see this into turn one:


It would have been a great way for Hamilton to emulate and pay tribute to Senna as he often likes to!

I thought about that but didn't think that he would do that. (And he didn't, thank goodness).

That would have have been more justice than Rosberg winning the title. Never has a sporting "competition" been so one sided but still gone to the death.

Hopefully next year the McLaren will be on song with Williams kicking on, Red Bull wanting to dance and hopefully the horse wanting to prance. Then it might be a spectacle for a change

Proud that Hamilton won deserved it and I thought from the goings on between Lewis and Rosberg earlier in the season the better man won in the end but as mentioned Rosberg proved to be a gentleman in defeat so hats off.

I'm also really disappointed to see the way McLaren have played this.

Once upon-a-time i'd have called myself a McLaren fan, but now i'd just call myself a Button and Hamilton fan.

They've made shocking decision after shocking decision for the last few years and even if they did, against all the odds, manage to get it right somehow they managed to **** it up.

And now i've lost all respect given the way they've acted more recently at a managerial level and how their indecisiveness has hung both their drivers out to dry over the last few months whilst they piss around with Alonso.

If they get rid of Button i can honestly see this as a pivotal moment with losing their fanbase and their support.
