lol.

 

[AnkhWeasel]

I'm on board with this. When a team's this dominant, share that joy around! (Still salty that Webber never got his WDC? Maybe.)

 

[malyce]

Congrats Rosberg. Drove a flawless season. Well deserved.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Very deserved championship for Rosberg and pretty god job this race.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Good Job Nico!!!

I think I just lost the last hints of respect I had for Hamilton. Thank god this bullshit didn't work out.

The salt from Sky is delicious.

 

[JDB]

At least it wasn't as boring as I expected after the start. HAM did all he could do, ROS did what he had to do, VES had a nice comeback after a disastrous start and VET did a great job toward the end.

 

[JadedWriter]

Congrats Rosberg, was eventually bound to happen...this is like what? Prost Senna 89 this season? Where I think Prost won cause Senna had shit reliability?

Rockstar makes the best anyways. Fruit punch flavor with 240 mg of caffeine.

Rockstar Blueberry is the goods, but Monster Ultra White is the best sugar free one.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Well done NICOooooooooo World champion

 

[herod]

Another classic tilke anticlimax

Debating which energy drink is best is debating what's the best turd.

[thenexus6]

These final laps were too much!! wow

 

[SilentRob]

As someone who wanted Rosberg to win the WC: This was brilliantly driven by Hamilton and obviously what he had to do. Congrats Rosberg, well defended!

 

[Mohonky]

This is absolutely pathetic from Hamilton, lost a lot or respect for him.

Congrats Rosberg.

Haha what? He needed to win and he needed Rosberg to be off the podium. what was he going to do?

 

[Ruruja]

Lewis should have parked the car at the start of the race and proclaimed Nico Rosberg the one true World Champion, fucking disgraceful.

 

[NHale]

Loser Hamilton tactics didn't work. Great for him. Enjoy the loss #blessed

F1 2017 Season |OT| If nothing else works, just behave like a loser

 

[Diprosalic]

Never thought i see a german win a f1 world championship.

[Gareth Bale]

Bah. Deserved yes. A better driver no.

Fair assessment. He can't be blamed for the mechanical issues of other drivers. Scored the most points. Not the best Mercedes driver this season. But still deserved.

 

[RoKKeR]

Lmao Vettel doing doughnuts

 

[Yen]

Very happy for Nico. Can't really blame Hamilton but it's hard to imagine that his relationship with Nico isn't irreparably broken now.

 

[| Praxis |]

Fuck Hamilton, what a first class asshole. They should fire him on the spot.

LOL, okay.

 

[Lach]

Happy for Nico. Lewis tried everything, respect to him. Hope they can be respectful to eaxh other on the podium...

 

[Razgreez]

F1 2016 - No matter who races, Mercedes wins

 

[Lima]

Never thought i see a german win a f1 world championship.

He is not German.

#Notmychampion

 

[Kalor]

Well deserved to Rosberg. Next season will be interesting with the rules shake-up.

 

[nature boy]

God what a shit show



Lmao get over yourself you child

Haha, loving the salt from #blessed fans.

Can't wait for the podium for even more salt

 

[AndyVirus]

Hamilton did absolutely what he should've done and anyone thinking otherwise is an idiot.

 

[McNum]

That was a very intense ending. I approve. One of the more fun races, despite the track not being the most interesting.

And good on Rosberg for winning. He was very consistent, and in the end, he had the most points.

 

[Purdy]

Haha what? He needed to win and he needed Rosberg to be off the podium. what was he going to do?

Drive around the track like it is just time trials and pretend no other cars are there, that is the proper gentlemen thing to do. (Along with losing without trying)

 

[kharma45]

He can't leave the car there surely?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Loving the British salty tears already.

Tomorrow at work is going to be awesome

lol

I'm British and was praying for Rosberg to win, like I said earlier Hamilton is arsehole.

 

[Aiii]

Watch Nico's car be DQ'ed for being underweight or getting a 5s penalty for not finishing in parc ferme.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

The only thing I will give Rosberg is that I hate seeing people come close and not get it when their rival is a multiple WDC. So from that point of view I am glad he's got a WDC. But the dirty driving earlier in the year makes me hope he never gets another. Ever.

 

[mxgt]

lol @ people "losing respect" for Lewis.

Yeah let's just not even try to win the Championship

 

[ElTorro]

Hamilton did absolutely what he should've done and anyone thinking otherwise is an idiot.

I am confident you would have posted the same if the roles had been reversed.

 

[| Praxis |]

Hamilton did absolutely what he should've done and anyone thinking otherwise is an idiot.

This.

Congratulations Rosberg.

 

[DieH@rd]

ENJOY IT NICO!

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Rosberg has done what Barichello and Webber could only dream of. He might be the slower driver but he get the job done.

 

[Ark]

Haha, loving the salt from #blessed fans.

Can't wait for the podium for even more salt

Just because I'm salty doesn't mean I can't be objective.

He deserves this title, but the better driver didn't win the WDC this year.

I am confident you would have posted the same if the roles had been reversed.

I'd have posted the same.

 

[Lach]

Nico getting a 5s penalty for unsafe stop on the straight....

 

[Pterion]

Gutted for Ham. Shit reliability robbed him of a 4th WDC.

 

[DBT85]

Congratulations to Nico, only the second father son WDC as well!

Lewis did everything he could.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

First season of F1 I watched and can't wait until next season with all the changes.

 

[Massa]

Nice job by Lewis, great race.

 

[CrayToes]

Haha, loving the salt from #blessed fans.

Can't wait for the podium for even more salt

British people don't like Hamilton lol

 

[Deadman]

A well deserved champion.

Great by Vettel.

 

[Rodelero]

Well deserved after Hamilton's antics towards the end.

I can't imagine how any racing fan with a pulse could feel this way, but then I couldn't imagine how any racing fan with a pulse could be happy that Nico Rosberg won this Championship. Not the least deserving WDC of all time, but extremely fortunate nonetheless.

This race was dull enough and the only thing Lewis did wrong was not following team instructions that were based, frankly, on a lie. Lewis was -never- in danger of losing the race. Aside from the fact that he's a far better driver than Nico Rosberg, he also had driven at the front for the entire race so his tyres would have been safer.

Oh look, and Hamilton immediately goes to congratulate his teammate. Compare that to Austin last year for all those who think Nico is the bigger man.

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

Now i whish we still had those double points....
