Nico Rosberg - DHL Fastest Lap award winner 2016

Maybe it wasn't just reliability? : )

 

Drove like a champ all year....... nice result

 

I'm sorry but did I see a McLaren at Monza? I'm confused

 

I believe he went to supersoft tires late in the race when they were already out of the points.

 

It (simply) looks suspicious that Alonso got Fastest Lap at Monza. His late race pit stop for sticky tires won that point.

Now, if DHL really put some money behind this list, then it might add some character to the later parts of races.

 

Good for him. Icing on the cake for his wdc

 

Rosberg 6
Ricciardo 4
Vettel 3
Hamilton 3
Kimi 1
Hulkenberg 1
Kvat 1 (Red Bull)
Alonso 1
Verstappen 1 (Red Bull)


After Maylasia, both Nico and Hamilton must of gone into engine conserve mode, not a single fast lap amongst them. Post Malaysia, only Ferrari and Red Bull got fastest laps.

 

wonder if Elton won the title for 'slowest final laps of the year' for Abi Dhabi?

 

Haha yes probably ..although i didn't notice any hot shots even trying to pass the mobile chicane

 

And why do you think they wouldn't pass? 9 sec a lap slower than possible pace...

 

Nicole just kind of stuck there..hoping no one would bump into him.

Seb to me decided to hold position..even though he is racing for Ferrari.He could say he didn't want to spoil the WDC but i don't buy that ..he want's into that Merc.

Max's tyres were finished.

The Merc is fast down those straights.

Then we have DRS etc etc

 

The rest of them didn't have anything to prove, Nico was champ, Elton was beaten, Seb kept his powder dry for next year, and enjoyed watching Elton lose his chance for number four......

 

how is this possible? LH is the fastest man ever in history of the known universe?

 

Sun spots man.

Sun spots.

 

Only to get in front of the paparazzi, or to the next party
