And Nico is only barely a World Champion. He completely backed into his world championship because of Lewis misfortune. The championship was decided by a blown engine at Malaysia. That win would have given Lewis an extra 13 points, more than enough to win his 4th world championship.

Legacy where Nico Legacy, he quit at the top with one world title that not enough is what bernie is saying.

Hamilton would beat Verstappen, and I like Verstappen. I also think Lewis would play mind games all day long with Verstappen, and that may irreparably damage him.

Nico only won the championship because Lewis engine blew at Malaysia. Lewis had a huge lead with ~15 laps left and no possibility of losing other than catastrophic engine failure. and Nico was all the way back in 4th. That engine failure decided the championship. It was a 25 point swing in the championship race. Lewis…

He wasn’t driving questionably. He was driving smart.

The 1-2 victory for Mercedes in that race wasn’t important enough to warrant Hamilton giving up on his only chance of securing another drivers championship. Mercedes had already secured the manufacturers championship and in the end 1 of their drivers would be world champion. Hamilton had every right to fight to the…

because. now here we are talking about how rosbergs title is and will always be tainted. not just because of this, but because he was clearly (at best) the 2nd best driver in the 2016 season, only winning because of hamilton’s engine problems. he had an opportunity to go out like a true champ here imo.

My point is, why was it not even a consideration from the team, from the media, or critical former racers like Jackie that the fault doesn’t lie with Lewis doing everything in his power to win the championhsip, but with the idea that Nico trying to overtake isn’t even an option worth considering. Isn’t that what…

EXACTLY!!! Lewis has done no more than any racer before him and certainly by no means as much. what your seeing from people, truth be told is Racism plain and simple. No one said a word about Vettle during his 4 championship stint. and we also hear these stupid ‘lewis is a whiner comments” If anyone was the whiner…

I’d like to see Verstappen in that seat too! But my money’s on Hamilton taking him to school.

Let Verstappen finish an F1 race at Monaco first.

Jackie Stewart has been an old curmudgeon for decades now. When Senna was WDC he was taking potshots at Senna. When Michael Schumacher was WDC he was taking potshots at Schumacher.

Nico Rosberg gets praised in the news for partying for a day straight after winning the championship. Kimi until he came back to Ferrari was praised for all his shenanigans.

Stewart gets upset at anyone who gets close to his accomplishments. Senna has the interview with Stewart where he keeps going after Ayrton and you can just smell the bullshit coming out of Sir Jackie’s mouth.

I have to ask this: what makes Hamilton a “douche”? The fact that he pursues his interests off the track? The fact that he isn’t boring? The fact that he bangs hot women and still kicks ass on the track? The he holds his team accountable when they screw up (like, oh, every other fucking successful driver in…

No one is saying that because they’d rather prattle on about Lewis “not knowing his place.” I wonder where that attitude and perspective comes from...........

I was speaking purely based on objective numbers, it’s impossible to compare the achievements of drivers from different eras.

I don’t begrudge Nico his title, but is it not a little strange that nobody is suggesting Nico could have resolved the situation himself by using skill and talent to overtake a car that was driving so very very slowly? Anybody at all? Am I taking crazy pills here?

I cant agree more.
