i dont like how people are asking if nico deserves the title this year as lewis has had such bad luck this year with his engines it is true but it is a motorsport and failures happen but either last year or the year before nico had 3 engine failures in 2 races and that let lewis race off into a big lead no one ask if he deserved the title that year :s :s

yeah that's true, I remember when Bernie ecclestone said something along the lines of he wants Lewis to win the title over Nico because Lewis is a celebrity and brings lots of attention to the sport whereas Nico is boring and does nothing for the sport.

What a load of cry-baby nonsense on the team radios in Brazil.
Nico wanting the race stopped before the full points kicked in at 53 laps, saying it was too wet, while Lewis was telling the team that it it was good for racing. The radio 5 commentator said "If you can't drive in a bit of rain, Nico, you're not a real champion, what do you want to do, go home?"
Then Vettel moaning that Verstappen had pushed him wide, just sore he was overtaken, and forgetting he had done the same thing to Alonso earlier in the race.
If a driver doesn't like the rain, let them park in their garage and let the rest get on with delivering a race for the crowd.
So the championship stays alive to the last race, would have to be an act of god now to stop Rosberg getting it, I think.

thats very true unless nico has some kind of failure he will just cruise round and pick up the title seems to be dragging on a bit this years F1 season for 21 races they need the cars to be closer together seeing the mercs at the front all season long getting a bit boring everyone needs to get closer next season but with all the changes normally that means bigger gaps between the whole grid

Nico has a 12 point lead. All he needs to do is finish, at least, 3rd in the final race and he has won the championship. Unless he has a mechanical failure he's going to be World Champion.

"Lewis, this is an instruction, you need to speed up to win the race"
"Paddy, I'm in the lead"

Opinion seems divided about Hamilton backing up the pack to try to get his team-mate overtaken by Vettel & Verstappen.
Some say he was being tactical and making the race more interesting.
Others, including Nigel Mansell are accusing him of not being a true sportsman.

The team orders were an embarrassment, after publicly declaring they were going to let the drivers race.
But Nico scored the most points and deserves the title, whether he is too boring is another matter, although that was a nice donut he did at the end of the race.

Bring on next season bigger wings wider tyres cars going round the corners way faster because of the extra grip my only worry is with amount of change it may split the cars up with big gaps between teams and racing at its best when the cars are close to each other on lap times verstappen champ for next year the red bull will be fast next year had best car for 3 years had 1 of the worst engines
