Lewis winning the WDC this year was inevitable. It was written on the track after the first couple of races. No other car was within 1 sec except, of course, Nico's and Nico is sooooo weak and such a wimp he can't put up a fight. He should have forced Hamilton to crash into him on a least 3 occasions this year. That would have stopped him from making NR his bitch. If Nico really wanted to put up some fight for the championship he would have let Vettel by to claim second. That would have extended the title fight. Maybe giving him at least a chance to show he can and is willing to fight for wins.
We will see what LH really has when Vettel, Ricciardo, Bottas (maybe) and perhaps Max V have competitive cars. I say he gets flustered, makes mistakes and does not win any title when he is challenged.
At least we saw a lot of on-track action. Maybe Bernie was on to something when he suggested they wet down the track. The rain definitely made for an interesting race.

This was a dick move by Hamilturd. There was plenty of space for him to make the turn and not try and push Nicco off the track, but he chose to do it anyway. If I were Nicco I'd just crash this jackass out a couple of times to teach him not to f**k with me, and at the same time keep him from scoring points as an added bonus.

Winning the world champion the way he did this year will make Hamilton's future very difficult if the other teams build competitive cars.

Didn't Rosberg get vilified when he actually did challenge Hamilton for a corner?
I don't think he's a ***** but may be slightly lacking the alpha killer instinct gene and GFY attitude.
That is apparently the difference at the very top of the pyramid.

I agree that Nico should've risen to the occasion with the eyes of millions of viewers and fans on him. At the same time, Hammy did hose him in that first corner of the race. At first I thought HAM simply couldn't get the car to turn in but looking at the cockpit footage there was no steering input.
Nico was (and is) trailing VET by a slim margin for 2nd place in the WDC. Nico knew that if he had a DNF by getting into it in the first corner with HAM, that his chance of a second place WDC could be over whereas HAM could DNF and ultimately would have most certainly gotten the WDC champ in the coming race or two.
Nico knew this. Hammy knew this. Hammy knew that Nico knew this! IMO, Nico had more to lose in a DNF situation in that race.

Now that Lewis has won the WDC, he should do all he can to ensure his teammate secures 2nd in the points.
Btw, did anyone notice how Toto and Nikki looked at each other with little grins when Nico ran wide?

The fact that he is fighting to hold on to 2nd place against a driver in a car that is 1-2 seconds a lap slower than his tells a story that, if he ultimately finishes 3rd, he does not want to have to explain.

I'd wager that had more to do with the fact that now they were likely going to clinch the drivers championship and not a 'haha screw nico' moment.

Yes, I pretty much "assume" the attitude from them was that his mistake conveniently ends the drama around when Lewis will clinch the title.

Let me ask you, what would Shumacher done? If he was in position what would Vettel done? What would Lauda have done? What would Fangio done? They would have raced to win. This is not the Rolex Motorsports Reunion, this is F1.
I am reminded by that racing sage Ricky Bobby:
"Second is first loser."
You do not like where you finished? Race faster, drive tougher. DO NOT SIT IN THE CORNER AND SUCK YOUR THUMB.
I bet Nico needs an injection of Testosterone.
