Hamilton losing pleases me. I can't think of a more detestable British sportsman.

Singapore you could argue he had problems with all weekend fair enough, we all know what happened in Malaysia, Japan he went very weird and seemed completely unfocussed, then won the last 4.

It's quite clear that without engine problems he'd have won the championship a race or two ago, i.e. either would have won or finished second in Spa and 25 points in malaysia

Maybe he'll take the start of the season more seriously next year.
to be fair, he was way ahead at the break

Hamilton won most races.
I think he played Abu Dabi with as straight bat as he could get away with, but it didn't work out.
A bit peeved Hamilton didn't seek out Rosberg to offer congratulations, and it was left to the TV companies to arrange a handshake,...twice. Very ungentle manly, but then we have come to expect that in this day and age in all sports.

Thanks Mike. I'm happy with 7th. Some big scores in the last few races pushed me up the table. A few races ago I was near the bottom.

So most last places and second overall. Did I play more rounds than anyone else?!

Happy with 2nd to such a big score. No shame in runner up (unless your name is Hamilton)

Looking forward to the Panorama revelations of how TW and the rest of the Mercedes crooks engineered the 2016 F1 season. What a pointless exercise F1 has become.

If he was as bad as you suggest he wouldnt have been a world champion, beating Hamilton in the same car
But personally I don't think he "beat" Hamilton in the true sporting sense of the word. Hamilton has clearly been the quicker and better driver for most of the season. Rosberg ended up with a few more points because the difference in mechanical reliability between the two cars created a 60+ points swing in his favour.

That's not his fault of course, and he's been by no means the first world champion to do a solid job and then be in the right place to pick up the pieces from the misfortune of others (indeed, his Dad did similar in much more tragic circumstances). Good luck to him for that, but people shouldn't let their dislike of Hamilton cloud the fact that the far better performing driver over the season lost the title due to issues beyond their control.

it's been a good season, one that got me into F1 again. Hope Lewis moves to a team that will appreciate him now. Ferrari?

Got to say Rosbergs quotes since winning have shown him to be much more sensible than the rest of the media, looking forward to watching those two race next year.
