Fair play to Nico, spoke very well to Sky. Top.

Very happy Lewis is world champ!

I feel over the season he has deserved it with the number of race wins and were he to not win the championship this weekend I would have felt a massive injustice had occurred.

I also had a massive dislike of Nico which had built up throughout the season however when his team were telling him to box near the finish and he said no I want to finish the race despite being down in 12th or 13th place, that changed my mind on him a bit. I thought good on you.
That and him making his way up to the podium room to congratulate Lewis at the end. Fair play on Nico's part and has changed my opinion on him tbh.

Agreed; did a lot to change perceptions of him, particularly his interview.

Also as others have said, massive kudos to the team management for the way they have dealt with the season.

Stewart was with the same team, different chassis/engines. All titles were won with Ken Tyrrell. Tyrrell was just renamed when they ran the Matras.

Beyonce?!?!?! Ffs.

Congrats to Mercedes for allowing both drivers to race right through the season. If only Red Bull did that when Webber and Vettel was together.

Wonderful scenes from the Mercedes garage. Toto mobbed on TV by the engineers.

Who is going to tell Toto to come down from the chandelier and put his pants back on after he has had several steins of Dom p...

Yes. Major PR coup on Nico's part, I have to say.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall of that night club tonight!

I found that emotional at the end, especially when the national anthem was played.

Well done Lewis, here to another few years of championships.

[JonRB]

Oh of course, I forgot - there is several days testing so they don't need to be packing up. No wonder there is an extra party atmosphere and everyone is in a party mood.

Agreed 2011 and 2012 were the high points; this year's was more about how many visual effects they could play with.

Kudos to Jenson too, demolishes the other McLaren (pay) Driver in the race and championship. Also beats the self proclaimed driving God alonso too!

You're not suggesting KM is paying for his drive, are you?

Certainly not, im sure around 30m from his personal sponsors to McLaren is nothing to do with it!

Niki Lauda just gave RTL the finger on the beeb forum haha.
