If you want to be play that game then consider these stats

Non-scores due to mechanical problems

Lewis Hamilton Nico Rosberg
2013 0 3
2014 2 3
2015 1 2

Seems like it's just random chance evening things up :D

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.

It was bad sportsmanship for Nico to go crying to the team.

If he's so good overtake, but he can't beat Lewis in a fault free car.

The most unworth World Champion in its history.

No way was he going to try and overtake. Hamilton would have done everything he could short of getting disqualified to force him off the track. Nico didn't go crying to the team.

He said roughly "tell him to let me past and if he's still 2nd I'll let him past to win"

Then came the "instruction" to speed up.

I reckon they got more TV time than if they had both scampered off into the distance!

In a secret vote bosses are asked to vote for their best driver of the season, and they are scored using the current points system.

Lewis came first with 234 point out of 275, Max was second Nico R third.

That is very telling and a few surprises.
