What if he feels he has every right to feel aggrieved?

Oh he can and is but like not in an interview with a major worldwide broadcaster.
He should have some class about it.
Yeah. As we saw with Brawn and then most recently Mercedes, someone can always make a large leap forward when this much is changed in either aero or engines. Guess it depends how much Newey gets involved in the car or if he's busy with boats along with Ferrari changing staff (again).
Hoping one of the other teams pull a surprise, but I'm not holding my breath.
A hashtag lasts for a second. The Sky idiots are on the TV for much longer.
Jackie has BPD when it comes to Hamilton, the occasional compliment followed by moments of spiralling jealously and hate.
Yeah, I was responding to someone being a tool. If you look at the context, perhaps you would be better placed to comment.
Never the let the facts get in the way of a shitpost though.
Sky are also continually defending the validity of Rosberg's title, rightly.
Look, I'm a Nico fan.
Lewis did everything he could to win this title. He was unlucky. Doesn't take anything away from what Nico has achieved.
Lewis is a triple world champion and would be the first driver I would bet on to take the title next year. Very, very few Rosberg fans would argue that Hamilton isn't one of the best ever.
Just let us have our moment.

I was here. I know the context. I don't agree that Button is trash nor are any drivers trash. Your default response to things you don't like appears to be an insult or "waaah, shitposting". You literally just said people take this thread too seriously and it appears you are someone who does exactly that.
I'm not going to be drawn on that. You have your opinion. You're entitled to that.
Heh, that's adorable. I love finding young photos of drivers, especially when they're meeting current (or not so distant past) ones.
Young Verstappen with Schumi:
Stewart has always disliked Hamilton for obvious reasons. F him!

Fair play to Rosberg, hes the WDC and all the caveats in the world wont matter for the record books.
It actually does the opposite. If Hamilton had driven into the distance, as he clearly could have done, and Rosberg drove away from the Ferraris and Red Bulls, this would have been a tedious race which compounded the dullness, and submissiveness of the way he won the Championship. Instead he had to fight for it and won the Championship in a relatively memorable race.

Hes a blowhard and everyone knows it. Jackie Stewart was one of the most sharply critical voices when Hamilton ditched the Mclaren team, then he turned around and spent the next three years damning Lewis with feint praise because the Merc was dominant.
All this "If x didn't happen x wouldn't have been champion" is an age old tradition in F1.
If Senna didn't die Schumacher wouldn't be champion in 94.
If Schumacher hadn't broken his leg Hakkinen wouldn't be champion in 99.
If Schumacher's engine hadn't blown in Japan 2006, Alonso wouldn't be champion in 2006.
You can go on and on with this.
In not too many months all of it will be forgotten and who became WDC will still be the only thing that matters.

F1 is a total yawn fest, these two just running rings around all the other teams with a car that's miles better makes it very boring.
I wish we could see dastardly tactics like Lewis's week in week out,slowing people down etc.
And it needs a huge shake up.

They punch above their weight and are finally getting back to where late 90s Jordan was.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
He's just worried a British driver might get more WDCs.
He's not lying though.
Eh, luck always plays a part in every form of competition. Certainly doesn't make Rosberg less deserving of his title. Just this race he drove very well under pressure.
Hamilton also did all he could to win the championship too.
I don't get why people are so salty about this :/
I like all the teams, but i have a sweet spot for them ever since Spa 2009.

I don't think it needs much of a shakeup, we could have a decent season with the current (or 2017) regulations, if only there was more than one team fighting for the title. Mercedes have two near-equal drivers which we don't often see for the leading team. Usually there is a much slower #2. If we had Red Bull matching their pace it would be very exciting because they also have two near equal drivers.
Technically he is. Rosberg had a gearbox failure at some point. And some other shit.
Not to the extent Hamilton had but ah well

Is 2017 the last year of live (free) F1 in the UK?

Stewart doesnt like aggressive drivers, he had a problem with Senna as well. Also, I remember an interview where he said he was annoyed that he had no relationship with Lewis. ("Ive never had him up at the house", Stewart said)
I guess Lewis has zero interest in his mentorship, so Jackie feels a way about it.
For those midfield teams it's always a bit hit and miss. Sauber has gone up and down over the years (4 podiums in 2012) too.
I just appreciate that this year was the first time in a long time where we hadn't had a team massively limping behind. Manor has caught up (partly due to Sauber and Renault getting worse) and I hope they can stay there.

I'd rather see Ferrari and maybe even another team or two up there as well, really mix things up.
21 different race winners next season. Let's do it.

How often in the past 40 years or so have we had 3 or 4 teams fighting it out? It might be a dream but it's extremely unlikely to happen regularly.
A few of us who watched the races back then have less rose tinted glasses towards him, unfortunately it's uncouth to call out dead people for some of the shit they did so his legacy is untouchable.

Channel 4 have 2 more years on their contract, though it wouldn't entirely shock me if they gave it up before then.

Go on
As much as I'd love to see multiple teams battle it out for next season, I'll be happy with two good teams and four drivers Duke it out for next year.
Well in 2012 six different teams won races (McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull, Lotus and Williams).
Edit: Sorry Pastor, corrected.
Wait seriously? I really like the C4 coverage and there is no way I'm paying for a sky like....ever, so that would be the end of me watching F1 probably

I'm sure we all would. It's not the Mercs fault that everyone else just sucks.
It rarely happens in f1 anyways, we'll be lucky if Redbull and Mercedes are evenly matched next year.

Well in fairness in light of the times we live in you would imagine something like that should be possible by now.
I mean we have Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari all with good drivers so just maybe another team breaking into that mixing things up...can but hope.
