I'll give it to Sebastian Vettel for his late charge to claim a podium; it would be easy to give it to Rosberg; but in good conscience I can't do it; he settled for second despite claiming he was faster; if he was faster than Hamilton, overtake, don't sit there and whine about it! Honorable mention for Max Verstappen, to come back from last to finish fourth is some feat!

Yup, Vettel had a great finish those last few laps.
Too bad the rest of the season wasn't as good!

Verstappen had a great race, as well!

Rosberg may have "settled" for second; but, in hindsight, what else could he do?
He must have suspected that Hamilton would do what he could to compromise his
race, why take the chance of trying to pass and being pushed off the track?
Sure, if both were to DNF, the title was Rosberg's anyway; but, that would really
have been anti-climactic for us fans!!

Rosberg, he held his nerve in the face of adversity. :thumbup:

You make it sound like it is so easy but it was far from it. Hamilton was trying to force Rosberg into the cars behind so they would overtake him and make him lose the championship BUT he had to do so in such a way that he didn't come under attack from Rosberg. By pulling away in the first part of the lap where the DRS zones are it meant that he was safe from Rosberg attacking him, this meant he could go slower in the last part of the lap where overtaking is almost impossible in an attempt to slow down Rosberg with the hope that at least two cars would get close enough to attempt an overtake. So of course Rosberg was faster because of this tactic of Hamilton but he was never close enough to try a safe overtake on Hamilton, and if he had tried to overtake Hamilton from the distance he was behind it is likely he would have caused an incident and be penalised for it, probably costing himself the championship in the process.

You are not wrong sagi, here is an example of how some of his 'hard core' supporters saw the race/season:

> "f*** you Mercedes! If it wasn't clear before, it is now." - wb

Referring to the Merc call to Lewis to speed up. They were obviously against a Lewis championship at least according to this ardent Lewis supporter.

> "What a load of bas-tards that Mercedes lot are...another lame duck is wdc..." - ang44

Poor Lewis was the victim of a season long Merc plot it seems says one of Wolff's so called lunatics???!

The tin foil is in full retard mode out there!
