F1 - 2016

@MartijnFC_NL Did not see that coming. Now who will replace him? I want to see Alonso or Vettel.

Majstor Matt

@MartijnFC_NL That news got me as well. But kinda expected, he is a World Champ, no better time to pull out than now, specially considering he is not that young anymore. Will be fun to see who will replace him, probably some young newbie. Then when that newbie will easilly be finshing on podium it will just once again show what kind of advantrage does Mercedes have over others and how easilly is to drive one.

I think and hope Pascal Wehrlein. He knows Mercedes and the 2017-tyres already, is fast and has lot of potential

King Noel

@Majstor-Matt Verstappen?

Majstor Matt

@King-Noel Doubt it, he has a long term contract with Red Bull and I doubt they will let him go. Similar thing is with Vettel, as he has contract until 2019. with Frrari I think.. ANd considering that Hamilton wasnt too happy with this season I doubt they will bring him any real competition, some young fella will come and he will be very happy to be nr.2 in the world behind Lewis.

@Majstor-Matt Bring back Karun Chandhok!! haha

spectraaaaa_NL

Yeah bring Chandhok back. Then fire Hamilton for ignoring teamorders multiple times and sign Pastor as the new number 1 driver

King Noel

@spectraaaaa_NL haha BREAKING NEWS: Karun Chandhok and Narain Karthikeyan to replace Hamilton and Rosberg at Mercedes.

DE XRIST

Nico Rosberg is actually thinking of retiring ?

King Noel

@DE-XRIST Not thinking bro, he made up his mind and is leaving F1.

spectraaaaa_NL

He has retired already

King Noel

@spectraaaaa_NL Sad, I wanted to see more of him and Hamilton rivalry. hehe

DE XRIST

@King-Noel
Same here... i wanted more from him now that he has proven his value....

King Noel

@DE-XRIST Yeah, now we have to wait and see who else Mercedes is going to get to replace the Champ.

King Noel

Also Nico turned down £18-million-a year Mercedes contract. WOW! Respect to him, he is deffo not greedy. Good on him. :thumbsup_tone4:

This was a sad day for F1 too lmfao. I guess he made a lot of money, now it's the right time for him to Netflix and Chill !

vinnyb

@King-Noel

Well, his daddy is and has been rich for a long time, so money was never an incentive for Rosberg which makes it much easier to reject the money!

King Noel

@vinnyb True and Money isn't everything, and like you said, I don't think Nico needs the money anyway to be honest.
