Anyone?
Exactly. Everyone should just come out and say that it was completely normal. Hamilton was doing what he could to win the drivers championship - the team really shouldn't mind which one wins (of course am sure a German winner isn't a problem for them)
True. Or if he didn't have the multiple failures is true. Simple as that.
Prost/Senna.
Yes of course, thanks.
Has Hamilton already fecked off?!
Hill and Villeneuve no?
Hill wasn't his teammate the year (Villeneueve) he won it no?
Hill had left Williams by the time Villeneuve won.
Wouldn't surprise me. He's certainly not a good loser during the heat of battle
96-97 Damon hill and Jacques Villesomething
96/97 I would guess. Williams
Hill and Villeneuve weren't team mates when Jacques won his so it doesn't count.
Ah right you are. Yeah Prost and Senna the last two who were teammates for both wins.
It is funny. I used to think Nico was a driver to watch when he was at Williams. I used to dislike Lewis. I used to hate Alonso and Vettel. Now I dislike Nico, wanted Lewis to win the championship, appreciate Alonso and also feel bad for him, and well dunno about Vettel.
Lets hope for a better season with at least the Mercs, Ferrari, and Red Bull all close to each other. So many 1-2, 3-4, 5-6. Only bright spot is Max.

Well done Rosberg.
Don't get why so many Hamilton fans whine about Merc? They gave him a car so dominant he had a better than 50/50 chance of winning the title 3 years in a row.

I used to hate Alonso now I feel bad for him and hope he wins another title. I still enjoy watching Vettel lose after what he did to Weber.
I think the Merc team play both drivers and frequently say things they want to hear. At the end of the day, if you aren't a little bastard like Hamilton was today you typically don't have the drive to dominate.
Toto after race "Lewis Hamilton listened to Christian Horner's instructions instead of mine. Maybe he wants to race for Red Bull."
Also "Lewis could have driven off and proved he was the best. But he chose another option" to paraphrase him
Petty from Toto, Lewis was fighting for the title. Merc had is all won. Can't see Lewis racing for Merc next year. That relationship is broken.

Scrub my last post
Lewis should have slowed down more in the last couple of laps tbh
It is telling that he slowed that much and still they can't overtake. The sport is doomed if they can't figure out passing.
They didn't give him a reliable car.
Toto/Lauda have to tow the company line, I'm not shocked they dislike what Hamilton tried.
Thought Lewis was very gracious in defeat at the end. First driver to congratulate Nico with hugs/handshakes, don't know what people want him to do.
They finished 1-2, if Rosberg was quicker just overtake him, Hamilton had nothing to gain from a crash which would damage his car as well. I suspect Hamilton privately agreed to not do what he did and then reneged in the race.
EDIT:
Merc have already bored everyone to death the last 3 years and for them to meddle in a battle that has no negative impact on the team standing is bad form IMO.
Don't think there was anything wrong with what Hamilton was doing, but can fully understand the teams viewpoint.
They would not be happy had Hamilton's actions lost points to their rivals.
Sometimes I think people forget that the car plays a huge part in the success.
Anyway well done Rosberg, great move on Verstappen and held his nerve in the final races. He did what he had to do.
Deserved World Champion.

Lewis is posing in the team victory photo now live on Sky, so hasn't stormed off like some have suggested. He just gave Nico's mum a hug.
Interesting that someone from Mercedes leaked to Sky that Hamilton wanted to leave the team after Spain.
How can people not like this guy?
I honestly think Lewis should leave Mercedes. Why the feck couldn't they just let them fight it out which ever way given the constructors was already won and there was a WC on the line. Take nothing away from Nico though, he got the job done.
Hamilton is twice the driver Rosberg is, such an underwhelming Champion. Wouldn't be so bad if it was down to game raising, in fact that would make a pretty good story, but instead he gets it by default because Hamilton seemingly annoyed a gypsy somewhere and got himself cursed.
Shame Hamilton or at least his engines lost the title....don't see anything wrong with him backing up Rosberg. Legal and his only option. 2017 will be quite a fight and, on a level playing field without Rosberg driving into him and the engines failing, Lewis will win again.
"So you didn't think of even letting Vettel past?"
"No, crazy Max was behind him"
Good, honest interview. I like both him and Hamilton tbh.Would have been cool to see it progress towards him becoming world champion.
