Don't Take Anything From Nico

Congratulations Nico Rosberg you drove like a champion this year, you held your nerve when things got tricky and you achieved your dream. Well done, you are a worthy winner.

In sport you have to believe in yourself, so asking Lewis Hamilton in a Channel 4 interview if he could say that the best man won was not just mischievous, but possibly devious. That said Lewis could have been a deal more gracious than he actually was.

Last year Nico took the championship down to the last round as I recall and over the last few years I think that mechanical failures have been roughly equal. Lewis has sought to diminish Nico's achievement and that is rather sad.

I remember there was a period when David Coulthard had the ascendancy over Mika Hakinnen, but that turned around once Mika got a taste of success. I wonder if Nico can turn the tables on Lewis now that he's champion. He won a lot of races at the end of last season and the beginning of this one, maybe he'll get into a winning spree next year, maybe not, but 2016 is his year and let no one and nothing try to diminish it.

Happy Christmas car and motor sport fans.
