Singapore GP about to start. Rosberg on pole, Ricciardo 2nd on the grid and Hamilton 3rd.

 

[Iceman]

Crash on the first lap right at the start! Hulkenberg out of the race I believe. Definitely going to be a safety car after that.

 

[Iceman]

Finished in the same order as the opening grid position. Rosberg wins, Ricciardo 2nd and Hamilton 3rd. Rosberg back in the lead in the title race! Going to be an exciting last few races, so close!

 

[Iceman]

Rosberg wins the Japanese Grand Prix. Hamilton 3rd. Championship lead widened again with just a few races to go. Looks like it's Rosberg's year.

 

[Iceman]

Hamilton leading the US Grand Prix but probably too little too late for the title race.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

F**k the race, here's Lindsey Vonn at the US Grand Prix.

 

[Iceman]

Haha, nice.

 

[chamber-music]

I think Hamilton only wants to win to stick it to Rosberg at this point.

 

[Iceman]

That's got to be a big part of the motivation lol.

 

[chamber-music]

Hamilton wins the Brazilian Grand Prix and take the title fight to the final race.

I think Rosberg is going to lose his mind if he lets this title championship get away from him.

 

[Iceman]

Now that it's just one race anything could happen. One blown engine and it would be all over!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I was rather annoyed with the obvious attempt to "fix" the championship. This race should never have been started when it did, or really run. Was far too dangerous. But they wanted Lewis to get the points, to make the final race tighter.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Haha, **** Lewis. t:

 

[Iceman]

Congrats to Rosberg. He earned this victory with that great start to the season.

Formula 1 2016: Nico Rosberg Wins World Championship, Force India Finish Fourth

Yep! Great place to make your first post. Welcome to the Hype!

 

[Dr Lee]

This is not a joke...

Nico Rosberg just announced his retirement from F1 with immediate effect...

 

[Iceman]

Yep just heard that. Great way to go out.

 

[Dr Lee]

in complete shock at this TBH... wasn't his biggest fan... but it will be strange not to have him on the grid next year..

Weilhein (or however it's spelt) in at Merc next season?

 

[Iceman]

Guess the win was his career goal and now he's achieved it. Might as well enjoy life now!

Hamilton and Rosberg are the same age btw (31).

Will be interesting to see who his replacement is.

 

[chamber-music]

Not too surprised roseberg decided to retire. Nico seemed like the kind of guy that probably wouldn't stick around too long. Nico isn't like those ultra-competitive drivers such as Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton. Those guys live to win races. As long as their is a chance they will be on race tracks with that manic desire to win.

 

[Iceman]

I heard Alonso is being considered. Could stoke up those old rivalries! Great driver though and Mercedes would absolutely dominate if they can keep the drivers well behaved towards each other. Might make the title races more interesting too.

 

[Iceman]

Hamilton takes the first pole of the season in a close one against Vettel.

 

[Dr Lee]

Interesting session... it does look like we might be in for an actual fight this season rather than knowing who's going to win before a wheel is turned.

Surprised that Riccardo binned it...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Seb looks back. I know it was one race but the Ferrari in his hands looked legit all weekend and Seb looked faster during the actual race.

Also crazy to see the fans on the track during the cool down lap. That was dangerous.

 

[Wise]

great to see Seb with a competitive car again.

This looks like it could be a good season with Hamilton and Seb having a battle over P1's.
