What? Even without a safety car, Rosberg's looking at second place in the worst case scenario? Where on earth are you getting sixth from?

A safety car would have bunched everyone together, so he would lose position to everyone with newer tyres.

 

[Zeknurn]

It's too bad Hamilton managed to take 3rd back.

 

[brotkasten]

If Ferrari didn't fuck up once again, the championship might've been interesting again.

 

[hamchan]

Ah lame, fuck the traffic. Exciting finish ruined.

 

[Kalor]

This might be an interesting final lap.

 

[Line_HTX]

ROS or RIC

I can't decide who I want to win more...

Is this a question? Of course you want RIC.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

The dream is over. Ricciardo will not win this. Only if Rosberg screw his on race.

 

[djplaeskool]

Ferrari strategy continues to be dodgy.

 

[stryke]

It's going to suck for Ric to leave the year without a win.

 

[Hana-Bi]

Damn and now traffic for Rosberg.

 

[nature boy]

Why did people expect any car on SS to recover over 20 seconds? SS were always going to degrade faster than the softs.

Red Bull had nothing to lose, but Ferrari fucked up (as usual).

 

[Solaire of Astora]

A safety car would have bunched everyone together, so he would lose position to everyone with newer tyres.

Even still, there's no way he would have dropped to sixth. It's not exactly an easy circuit to overtake at, and there's also the possibility of some drivers behind losing time due to their own squabbling for position.

 

[RaySpencer]

Is this a question? Of course you want RIC.

Yeah, with Rosberg sticking it in the wall on the last lap or something. Heh

 

[Line_HTX]

Fucking gatekeeping street traffic, SMH...

 

[brotkasten]

There just wasn't enough time for Ricciardo. Pretty sad.

 

[spuckthew]

If Ros gets caught in traffic enough this could still swing

 

[djplaeskool]

 

[Zaru]

So close but yet so far.

 

[PdotMichael]

I must say Rosberg recovered quite well after Hamilton dominated the races before the summer break.

 

[Ruruja]

Man that was close

 

[Tempy]

Close but no cigar.

 

[DieH@rd]

YAAAAAS! Great victory for Nico!

 

[olore]

Bah

 

[Frankfurter]

Now that was much closer than expected at the end.

 

[jizzlobber]

1 more lap would've been interesting!

 

[Juicy Bob]

YESSSS NICOOOOOOOOOO

NR6 WORLD CHAMPION 2016

 

[sems4arsenal]

Holy shit that was close at the end.

Brilliant from Nico and Dan

 

[Chuck]

Heartbreaking.

Fucking Nico

 

[brotkasten]

I must say Rosberg recovered quite well after Hamilton dominated the races before the summer break.

Yup. Should definitely be recognized. He's doing well enough. He just can't make the tiniest mistake.

 

[Blastoise]

Brundle doing interviews

 

[Danielsan]

Blegh. Ricci drove like a madman, but alas.

 

[jey_16]

Seb for driver of the day....22nd to 5th!

 

[RaySpencer]

Booooo. Stupid Rosberg.

 

[hamchan]

Dayum just one more lap.

 

[ElTorro]

I must say Rosberg recovered quite well after Hamilton dominated the races before the summer break.

Yeah. Would not have bet money on that. He took the lead in the WDC back fair and square.

 

[Lach]

Great drive from Nico. Well deserved win.

Great dramatic race!

 

[SilentRob]

Huge probs for both RIC and ROS, amaying drive by both of them.

Ferrari, please just go home, you are embarassing yourself.

 

[djplaeskool]

Rosberg just seems unstoppable whenever he's got the lead.

 

[Ty4on]

That was painfully close

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I never thought I would say that but, Rosberg did a good job.

Hamilton was saved by his team strategy.

Poor Raikkonen I thought that he would be on P3 and another great race by Alonso.

 

[Leonsito]

Amazing weeked for Rosberg, fantastic race.

 

[RaySpencer]

I never thought I would say that but, Rosberg did a good job.

They had to save Hamilton, after they put him in that bad position in the first place. haha.

 

[NHale]

Here comes Tito Wolff "We are so close to retire both cars" and Ted Kravitz "Hey Toto why didn't you pit Nico with 2 laps to go? Please be fair! Be fair!"

 

[Ty4on]

Rosberg deserves to be in the lead though

 

[Zeknurn]

Best race of the year even though a Merc won.

Too bad Kimi didn't get third. Ferrari gonna Ferrari.

Vettel won the well deserved driver of the day.

Great drive by KMag, don't cut him Renault.

 

[jey_16]

damn...Nico with the frosty reception to Lewis

 

[stryke]

Now that was much closer than expected at the end.

A lot of people thought it would be closer...then Mercedes turned up the engine again.

 

[Line_HTX]

Blah, fuck this shit. Ricciardo should've overtaken Singapore on the final lap.

This is all Bernie's fault. ;P

 

[Chuck]

What a fucking bummer.

 

[brotkasten]

Blah, fuck this shit. Ricciardo should've overtaken Singapore on the final lap.

This is all Bernie's fault. ;P

At least this outcome made the WDC fight more interesting. That's more important to me than Ricciardo winning.
