Well it still needs a miracle in the last GP of the season but you never know..

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Lewis needs to win the next race and Rosberg finish no higher than forth to finish first in the championship, i think this year will be Rosbergs unless something happens to Rosbergs car.

3:30 race

Down to the wire, but realistically, Rosberg just needs to avoid gremlins, foulups and other bad luck, not likely to be off the podium if still running, could probably even get away with coming back from a puncture.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Rosberg has bursts of form at times but overall he strikes me as such a mediocre driver. Its harsh to say but without Hamilton's DNF's he'd be finishing behind again. Comes of to me as what Webber was to RBR when Vettel was flying.

Door locked, knocker & bell battery removed.

Phone off hook.

Time for the F1 decider.

If Lewis has a mechanical issue, next year I'm backing Red Bull.

Nico does NOT deserve to win the title like several of his wins he was gifted.

That was close :D

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Screw Mercedes, telling Hamilton to speed up so 3rd & 4th place can't over take Rosberg thus denying him his 1st title.

Unlike Keke who earned a world championship, Nico has been gifted his.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

I thought that was petty from Hamilton. Trying to back his teammate into traffic. It is a team sport as well as an individual one. They weren't asking him to give the space up.

Well we can cry as much as we want over things but my motto in life generally is what will be will be...

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Nothing petty about handing your balls to someone? It made it interesting and about handing the title over well Lewis made him sweat for it so it wasn't exactly a giveaway even if what came before was totally different. No hard feelings IMO let it all start again next season.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
 

Rank bad sportsmanship, mark of a sore and petty loser. Glad he lost. Would have been funny to see him really slow down and then Rosberg do a Senna and smash into him taking them both out.

As for the others here saying he was gifted it, that applies to all of Hamilton's titles as well, every year there are mechanical failures for all drivers.

Get over it, this year the better more consistent driver won.

Engine failure at Malaysia was the difference between drivers
