        Congrats to Nico on the championship but quite a shock to see him retire right after.

          Agreed. At least F1 continues to live up to its billing in terms of drama. Let the rumour mill go crazy now on who's taking his seat. I've heard of Alonso being rumoured already. That would be awesome!

            If you had to go to work everyday with some little ***** like Hamilton you would retire as soon as you could too.

              I like Hamilton over rosberg. Rosberg appears to be a spoiled whiny kid, but they all are I guess. Hamilton has the skill that rosberg doesn't, just had some bad breaks this year.

              Good for rosberg to retire though, family should be number 1. Probably going to be a tough year next year too, they will probably be 1 standout team and the rest trying to catch up.

                  Wait? Likes Hamilton over Roseberg because thinks Rosberg is too whiny?

                      We can't have 2 Moaldonado's running at one time or the world will explode and since Strolls daddy bought half of Williams he gets first crack at crashing every race. Pastor will have to keep racing pack mules for 2017.

                        Ya I believe I said all are whiney, just rosberg comes across to me as someone that is more whiney.

                        Mercedes hands him a winning car, Hamilton has issues with reliability through the year. Rosberg wins solely on the fact that he finished more races than ham. He wins and quits because he finally beat Hamilton for the first time in 13 years. ( according to hamilton). Ya I don't like him, just not a fan. I personally like kimi and hamilton.

                          I prefer Rosberg over Hamilton, I enjoyed watching Hamilton race when he was with Mclaren, I find both drivers have become very whiney since Mercedes became the dominant team on the grid. I came around to liking Vettel last year and the beginning of this year as well but as the season carried on he became just as whiney as the Mercedes boys. I like Kimi's attitude (no fucks given).
                          As for Rosbergs replacement im sure it will be one of the 2 young Mercedes contract drivers, either Ocon or Wehrlien thatll be taking the seat.
                          As for the driver with the most bad luck this year I think its a tie between Hulkenberg and Hamilton. I hope Renault turns into a competitive team over the next couple years so Hulkenberg can show his talent, and now that the F1 calendar doesn't conflict with Le Mans, maybe he can go and defend his race win from a couple years ago.

                            I agree vettle was funny during the post race interviews. Nice to see some character. Made me like him more.

                              On a 2nd note, it will be nice to see a Canadian on the grid again. The fiancé and myself are considering going to back see the Montreal Grand Prix in 2018 or if we want to possibly go to C.O.T.A. for the US Grand Prix instead. Montreal was amazing but id like to tick 1 more track off the bucket list.
