Well drivrn by rosberg. I wont say he didnt deserve it. He did what he had to do with the help of mercedes.
Lewis did more to deserve it but you can't take anything away from nico. He like damon, jaques, jenson, keke, kimi had championships that werent really dominant. I think its just part of the sport. Nigel also had bad luck and even Senna. You cant win them all.
What i saw in this last race though is that Hamilton driving ability is on another level to any driver on the grid. What he was doing on track was complete mastery.
For Sure!!

Martin Brundle just said on Sky, show me a good loser and I will show you a LOSER,

Hamilton did all he could to win the WDC within the rules. Rosberg did everything he needed to to win the WDC, he could have rammed Hamilton off the track, either at the start or in trying to pass Ham but he didn't.

Hamilton in the sky interview praised Nico for winning this year and said he was looking forward to the forthcoming debreifing in the motorhome.

...which is driving slow as possible to win a race, which is a characteristic Prost had. Maybe Lewis has found something new in his race craft, which is a combination of Prost-Senna'esque: racing very calculated, one lap flyer pace, being able to push it to the absolute limit, masterful wet weather driving, overtaking skill and being dominant in a dogfight.

Talking about Prost. He was the last to be crowned WC defeating a reigning WC teammate (in 1989)

Lol this guy ^^

Apparently driving slow in a dominant car is considered mastery. Who knew!
What does that make a driver who was unable to get past a slow dominant care when you are in the same dominant and instead get your team to start pleading and crying over the radio?

I have mixed emotions actually. Nico did win the WC, the title was decided in the last GP, everything should be thrilling and fascinating. An then at the end of the race we see Hamilton and Rosberg not talking to each other. I hate this. They look silly, like two little girls who got offended at each other. They are grown men, sportsmen taking place in one of the most adrenaline generating sports. Everything would be better than this: the argument, the fight, sarcastic remarks for example. It's just wrong. It does not look like a sport.

Ironically, it was Lauda who said that the secret is to win by going as slowly as possible. Hopefully Hamilton knows that and uses it in the debrief... :lol: 8)

Yeah, that would ve been something. Tho, didn t he said something like "thought you guys let us race ".

Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

All he need to say is 'Did you want me to hand the WDC to Nico after THAT car this season? '. If they say yes then they confirm his fears.

You constantly show us all how little you know about racing.

This is how high end athletes work/think, in a sport like this. On the track everyone around you is the enemy.

There are more Lewis haters than there are Nico fans. Nico is going to savor his championship just as if he'd won it for real. Why would you need to be so upset about how he won it?

Your delusional is what's really obvious. Nico lost the championship at the last race because of reliability and where were you then? Too busy celebrating? Nobody screamed this kind of bull back then only when it happens to Lewis.
Was that when he was BEHIND Hamilton so had lost it in the track anyway?

OK, that's fine. So you punch the enemy in the face if you are angry at him. Or at least do something.

I think overall it is more like Hamilton's loss than Niko's win this year. Lewis had Raikkonen level luck when Kimi was back in mclaren :)
