Just watched highlights after trying to avoid spoilers since yesterday and mostly succeeded. Congrats to Nico. Lewis shown he's still spoiled little kid and I lost last bit of respect for him now.
E: stupid autocorrect
Genuine question, what's made you form the opinion of him acting like a spoiled kid?
As my take on is the following, which I've tried to be objective as possible.
If it due to the way his emotions are not hidden or guarded, it's the way he has always been throughout is motoring racing career. What wrong with showing true emotion as for me that shows he has a passion about the sport. Granted in his younger years used to fly off the handle but like many young people we learn to control that over the years. It’s also one of the reasons, why I am a fan of LH is we get to see an unscripted person most of the time and not some PR monkey. It's also now one of the reason I have now started to warm toward Vettel as we are seeing his true character which is a huge positive for the sport IMO.
Following on from that and I will full admit, it’s one of the main reason, I don't like Rosberg. As for me it doesn't feel authentic, it’s all scripted. In fact, isn't there a quote on the forum where Rosberg was asked one question and gave a completely different reply?
What about Rosberg when he through the cap back at Hamilton, isn't that classed as childish?
If it’s his racing, he was in the lead of the race and in full control of the race. The only chance he had to win the world WDC was to hope that he Rosberg finished 4th or lower. There have been many drivers in the past who have performed a lot more questionable moves like Schumacher for example who took Hill off the track and the same with Senna and Prost. It also takes an element of skill to slow down the race while still maintaining control. As you'll need to know where your opponents are going to be at their strongest.
However, now it’s all said and done you do have to have some sympathy for him due to all the mechanical issues he has had. As to put it in to context he has many problems in 1 year as Rosberg has in 3/4 years. As Steampunk refers to earlier in this thread and which I agree I don't believe its a conspiracy. As to quote Paddy Lowe himself "It is mathematically possible to throw 6 sixes in a row. But you could make a compelling argument to say otherwise as the other Merc powered cars seem to run without problems.
It also doesn't help when a team like Merc in this example as well try to control the race. It's not good for the sport and it will only cause more friction. I guess you can also look at in another way is the amount of PR it has created for the Sport, which Berny seems to think all PR is good. As we are all talking about it now....
What I will say is Rosberg for better or worse has been there to clear the points up which leads to the WDC rather than to determine who is the best driver or not. Its not a easy task to take a the WDC but you do have to have a element of luck. However, congratulations to Rosberg for winning the WDC.
Also a lot of my comments are tongue and cheek as well before this post.
