    After thinking about it, I don't fault Lewis for doing it after realizing that Mercedes had already secured the Constructors' Championship before the start of the race. He wanted to win the championship and needed Nico to finish 4th so I think he was within full right to tell his team to fuck off. Plus it actually made for an exciting finish which is pretty rare these days.

    It would be nice if they could figure out how to make the races more competitive next season. Seem like most races are determined off the start. IndyCar has much more exciting and super competitive races that nobody watches.

    IndyCar is soooooo much better than F1 these days!
    Hopefully next season the new rules will bring some excitement back. The 'undercut' and 'passing in the pits' is ruining the sport imo.

    Very unexpected!
    I'm betting Alonso, Vettel or Ricciardo really, although someone made a point that Mercedes might go for a definitive No 1/No 2 driver scenario which makes a bit of sense.

    My first reaction was Alonso but he would be paired with Hamilton. Can't see that working!

    True, there are a lot of combinations that won't work. It's rare that two number 1s will get along regardless of who they are.

    Good riddance NIco!
    Never liked him.
    Talk about timing. Most of the drivers are locked down for next year.

    Good. Now maybe they can return to Western Europe and tell all those dictators to fuck off.

    So this Chase Carey is a television guy, wants more sponsorship, expand the race calendar, and wants every race to be a week-long Super Bowl extravaganza. Ross Brawn, returning to F1 and appointed to the new position of "sporting matters" wants to maintain the tradition of F1, do away with gimmicks and artificial props, and stop with reactionary plans and look toward a more long-term vision.

    I haven't watched F1 in years but this is a change I can get behind. Hopefully these guys right the ship and make this sport watchable again.
