I have no issue with Lewis here. He was going for the world championship ffs!
All the great champions would have done exactly the same thing

I remember Hill being driven off the track, but not sure if it was Senna.
Don't have a problem with Lewis trying to win by slowing things down.

I think Schumacher did it too to stop Hill taking the title off him.

Because bowing to the orders of a German car manufacturer is more sportsmanlike than going for glory apparently.
Can't stand Rosberg, seems like a smug little prat.

Really lost interest in F1 for the past few seasons, this race would be fantastic during the good old days where we have a no.1 driver and the two racing for the championship was on different teams.
strange race....
Lewis was doing everything he could to win the title...
Nico and the team juz wanted a 1-2 and thats about it.
i don't blame Lewis for trying to screw up Nico, but i can understand it from the teams perspective that u don't screw over a team mate to win.

I have a feeling from Hamilton's perspective, the team screwed him over. At least he hinted to that more than once and said we can read more about it in around ten years. Obviously, it's about the team splitting up his title winning mechanics team to give some to Rosberg, and the problems only his car was having earlier in the season.

If Mansell was in Hamilton's position, he would have done the same. Easy to say the opposite when you're retired and haven't raced for 20 years.

Selective memory or what, Mansell had a massive row with Rosberg senior over his blocking tactics and was definitely not afraid of a bit of gamesmanship.
Can't stand team order BS personally and it should be every driver for himself, it's called racing for a reason

He did it to Prost, but in fairness Prost did it to him the year before.
Schumacher deliberately crashed into Hill to win the title. Tried to do it to Villeneuve too, but that backfired as he only put himself out.
Not a fan of Hamilton but I have no issues with his tactics today. Every other driver out there would have done exactly the same thing.
Anyway, congratulations to Rosberg.

They shook hands on the podium. Hamilton congratulated him on his "first world championship".
