I gave it to Lewis for keeping the race "alive" and not just pi**ing off into the distance, whatever people think of him he is still one of the best drivers out there. Although he had the best car I doubt if he will ever have to settle for a second best team in the future !

I don't really understand why people have a problem with Lewis he is a great driver, gave Nico a big hug, gave Mrs Rosberg a big hug ..

I don't get it either. He did everything he could on the track to keep his championship hopes a live.

Post race, off the track, I thought he was very magnanimous in defeat and didn't let the petulant Lewis, that we've seen too often, out.

Does the pass on Verstappen not count as racing? Or do we miss stuff out that doesn't fit the anti-Rosberg narrative?

We all know what happened with Senna and Prost. That's not the way I like to see a championship decided, so good for Nico for not mixing it with Lewis for that reason alone.

I thought that overtake he did on Verstappen was one of the best moves I've seen by any driver this season.

Voted for Nico for the reasons already mentioned. He was put under a ton of pressure by his teammate, but also by the first stop delay, which put him behind Max.

His pass on Max was superlative. Not an easy circuit to pass on, apparently, and Max is obviously no pushover. Move of the race and up there for move of the season IMO.

Honorable mention to Vettel, but I agree that Lewis' tactics probably helped him.

Nico may have done enough to win the title, but the driver of the race was Lewis for doing everything within the boundaries of trying to win the race and the title

I was pretty impressed by the move Vettel pulled on Max too.
