The other PHs thread about this is 13 pages long. I think you're. a bit late TBH. It started when the news actually broke, a few hours ago. 
Hence, justification for a thread in NP&E.
I mean...Jesus....have you even *been* in the F1 section recently? The only reason you can't immediately slip into a merciful boredom-induced coma in there is that the 150 decibels of ambient anorak-rustling means you have to spend time in an ear-bleeding purgatory first.

There's more whining on NP&E than at an F1 GP, let alone the section here! I mean...Jesus....have you even *been* in the F1 section recently?

Props to Nico...
I can totally see why you'd do it. I'd do the same. For some things like motorsport I don't quite get the appeal of winning the same series multiple times. I think I'd like to move on and try something else.
As well, I bet its been a ridiculously stressful few years in the Mercedes camp. I don't think I'd be putting up with the stress and the panto-politics and Lewis for another year either. Nico clearly decided he doesn't need that palaver in his life anymore.

The fact that Lewis 'fans' afterwards were saying Lewis lost it due to his engine going in Malaysia and Nico didn't 'deserve' to be WDC, but failing to acknowledge on that logic then Massa was the true 2008 WDC as his Ferrari engine broke in Hungry thus had it not he'd of been champion....
That's the s
te he's turning his back on and can't say blame him. Edited by tommunster10 on Saturday 3rd December 15:59

Reminds me of something just can't for the life of me remember what that was - early onset dementia is such a sheep

I don't think it is justification. It's a Formula 1 story; there is a Formula 1 forum, where there was a thread running already, on which many are already engaged. The standard of debate is just something you have to put up with, or if you think it's that bad, try and improve it. Otherwise, you risk forums being completely derailed - witness the thread in General Gassing on increasing aggression on the roads being hijacked by a couple of Remain enthusiasts o blame more roadrage on the referendum result.Hence, justification for a thread in NP&E.

ETA quite so, I thought it was after I'd posted but in the end it was before.

The Moderators haven't locked it. I'm not saying they are wrong - it is as always their call but just because something is news doesn't make it NP & E when there are more specific forum areas available.
Only thread in GG that I saw has been locked

That's where I have a small concern
Right so I've just looked at the Rosberg (sp) thread in the F1 forum and it's appalling.
As usual, it rapidly degenerated into rival Rosberg and Hamilton fans fighting over which one was better. Some simpletons are irate at Rosberg for apparently chickening out of F1 because he knew he wouldn't ever beat Hamilton in a fair fight.

Fair enough. There's less hostility though. What can you say really.? Well done nico, I can see why you did it, or I can't believe he's quit it's because he's scared/rubbish/whatever. El stovey said:
