I wanted Nico to win this year so very happy he did.

This get water, and caps bit is going to be epic!

 

[Glin]

Ppl shitting on Ham are silly. It is about world championship, not a damn small thing. Congrats on Rosberg with keeping his head cool.

Well done Nico.

Secondberg no more.

 

[Aiii]

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.

VES will have his day, don't worry.

 

[MrS]

Mercedes are cunts. Sabotaged Hamilton

 

[Zeknurn]

It turns out that racing is a lot more intense when the leader doesn't cruise until the end. #ballastformercedes2017

 

[Fox Mulder]

Still, Vettel with ultrasofts and a light car and with Hamilton bunching up the pack couldn't overtake the Mercedes of Rosberg, that Ferrari is really shit

It's hilarious how shit the rest of the field is. I don't see it changing much next year either, Mercedes still has a great chassis. Redbull will benefit.

 

[Danielsan]

I don't get why people are bitching about Hamilton. He was racing for the championship not for the race win. It was all he could do.

 

[mclem]

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

Oddly, both were 34 years apart.

 

[AndyVirus]

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

Rosberg has done what he should've done (and did) for 4 consecutive races. Stay safe, stay second.

 

[NHale]

If this is Nico doing this bullshit, Ted Kravitz would be asking for him to be killed on the track while crying.

Just embarassing behavior from the best driver in the grid. No respect whatsoever for that Loser after today.

 

[f0rk]

You guys are hilarious. Rosberg is completely unremarkable but you have such a hatred for Hamilton it somehow makes you Rosberg fans

 

[Showaddy]

Rosberg's gotta love that championship he only got because Hamilton's car was crocked lol

 

[IcyEyes]

C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N Nico!

Super well deserved title !!!!!

 

[Juicy Bob]

I hope Rosberg now gets the respect he deserves, but I know he won't. It's such a shame.

But anyway, no time for negativity. WORLD FUCKING CHAMPION BABY

 

[Hasney]

You know you didnt deserve it though Nico.

Hopefully Schuhamilton no longer deserves it either with those DIRTY TACTICS.

Well duh. But backing Nico up is more than likely never going to work and it'll just make Lewis look like an idiot.

How would it make him look like an idiot?

He doesnt play dirty, he isnt Schumacher.

You guys are hilarious. Rosberg is completely unremarkable but you have such a hatred for Hamilton it somehow makes you Rosberg fans

Not really. I liked Hamilton but will always want the first time champion to take it, but these past couple of years posting in this forums F1 thread has made me laugh so hard as I've seen CONSDIPRACY THEORIES that it just made me go hardline Rosberg.

 

[Terbinator]

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

The difference being Hamilton would have gone for the win and bitched on the radio.

 

[Ark]

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

He's lost two WDC's to factors totally out of his hand. Very frustrating to see this happen again, at a different team.

VES will have his day, don't worry.

That he will.

 

[Aiii]

It's hilarious how shit the rest of the field is. I don't see it changing much next year either, Mercedes still has a great chassis. Redbull will benefit.

Except that next year the engine difference should be gone or at least minimized, which is what the difference maker is and has been.

 

[AngryMoth]

I mean you can argue about whether or not rosberg deserved to win a championship at some poin but Ham deserved this one more based on his on track performances this season

 

[Syder]

What is it about F1 that always brings out the hyperbolic know-nothing plonkers?

Winning a Championship takes an entire season of quality performances. Yeah, Hamilton would have easily won it with better luck but no one put the Championship on a plate for Nico, he had to turn up for every race and race better than everyone else, and he did so on many, many occasions.

Congratulations, Nico.

 

[Yen]

9 seconds shower then pole!

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

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

LOL That wishful thinking
They won't dare even if it is underweight, F1 has a history of bending the rules when they try to avoid stepping on some toes.

 

[N.A]

Happy to see Nico win. Hamilton did nothing wrong.

 

[Randdalf]

Oddly, both were 34 years apart.

Robin Raikonnen to win 2041 World Championship

 

[nature boy]

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

Respect the team orders for the 1-2? By deliberately slowing down he jeopardized that result?

 

[NHale]

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

But how about a Finnish/Monaco driver?

 

[malyce]

YES NICO!!!!!

Fuck off Hamilton, you dirty ******.

Snarky.

 

[Sloane]

Congrats to Rosberg, well deserved.

I kinda liked what Hamilton tried at the end, to be honest, but he did a pretty bad job with it.

 

[dalin80]

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

It turns out that he is a bit polarising! Who da thunk...

So yeah lots of people suddenly ignoring that this was his most obvious and only strategy.

Wrong person won but that's how it goes half the time!

 

[Ark]

I hope Rosberg now gets the respect he deserves, but I know he won't. It's such a shame.

But anyway, no time for negativity. WORLD FUCKING CHAMPION BABY

You realise anytime a Rosberg discussion comes up it's going to be split between "he only won because Hamilton didn't finish half the races" and "nah he deserves it so much".

 

[Lima]

Lol Nico trying to kill Bernie.

 

[Aiii]

Happy ROS is best ROS.

 

[Eskiboy]

Don't know why people are so unhappy with Hamilton. I'm pretty sure we would've all tried something different if we were put in Hamilton's position.

Grats to Nico. Drove well all season and you don't win a championship on accident, so fully deserved.

 

[Ruruja]

Respect the team orders for the 1-2? By deliberately slowing down he jeopardized that result?

Driver's World Championship > Team 1-2.

Surely you don't think otherwise?

 

[kharma45]

I wonder if we'd had NeoGAF back with Irvine was competing against Mika to win it, Irvine would have been written off as being lucky if he'd won because Schumacher missed races... I would imagine not.

 

[NewDust]

Not sure what actually is more amazing... VES finishing 4th after being in last... Or Ferrari's strategy working for VET.

 

[kanuuna]

Really happy for Nico. Should make next season more interesting, too.

 

[nekkid]

Paddy Lowe owes Hamilton an apology, not an ear bashing.

 

[fuenf]

F1, Rosberg, Hamilton won. Rosberg got a chance to earn the WDC, Hamilton tried everything he could and most importantly it got way more intense than this race actually deserved to be. Who wouldn't want the WDC to be decided by wheel to wheel racing in the last rounds of the final race.

 

[Rodelero]

Funny to watch all the people who are 'losing respect' for Hamilton. No-one is fooled, you had no respect for him before this race.

 

[Lemonte]

Hope there's some hat throwing

 

[McNum]

I... didn't take Bernie to be a hugger. Biggest shock of the weekend?

 

[Par Score]

If Nico had body-slammed Bernie just then all would have been forgiven and I'd have happily declared him the greatest WDC of all time.

 

[nature boy]

LOL Hamilton get more podiums than everyone else this season but loses the title due to "reliability"

 

[ramparter]

Hopefully Schuhamilton no longer deserves it either with those DIRTY TACTICS.

Well yeah I wouldnt expect it would happen in the end

Still I dont blame him, his team helped Nico all season. It wasnt fair so he is justified. Go Lewis, true champ 2016.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Zeknurn]

So this means the only non-champion race winning drivers on the grid for next year are Ricciardo and Verstappen

#makef1compeititveagain

 

[dakun]

Congrats to Rosberg, well deserved.

I kinda liked what Hamilton tried at the end, to be honest, but he did a pretty bad job with it.

It was as good as he could've gone without going dirty. The other cars just weren't fast enough for Hamilton to safely back Nico into them earlier.
