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.

Wonder who will replace him now? I'd like to see Jenson get the seat for a year then review both seats at once.

[Smokehead]

He's already staging his first comeback.

It seems that Lewis Hamilton was not happy with the way Mercedes dealt with the coming together of Nico Rosberg and himself earlier in the year.
So a bit of friction seemed to exist at Mercedes between their two main drivers. Good luck to Nico Rosberg in achieving his aim of winning a world championship. It seemed like he was due such a reward for his work at Mercedes. If he is happy with what he has achieved and wants to leave F1 now, that is his choice. Going out on a high cannot be deemed a bad thing.

Wow the same day Nico Rosberg retires another driver called Nico Rosburg also retired. What are the chances of that.

[Europa1]

Jesus. Was it too much to a) check the Formula 1 thread to see if perhaps there might already be a thread on the subject of the new Formula 1 world champion announcing his retirement; and (b) do the chap the courtesy of spelling his name correctly?

I may have to adjourn to the "Things that annoy you beyond reason" thread...

Bail out at the top, why not.

[Atomic12C]

Fair play to him.
He has achieved his life time goal and realizes that he he wants to depart at the top.
