2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Highlights: Director's Cut

Nico Rosberg clinches the world championship at a dramatic final race of the 2016 F1 season...

Rosberg : Win the title
Also Rosberg : "Is Nico Rosberg's career over?"

[jamesclay]

If there was one driver I wouldn’t want to overtake in a title fight it is verstappen. Big balls nico, big balls!

[dignio]

Rosberg:"Why is Vettel so close?"
too far"

[tapanpanduranga]

Everyone’s mentioning how Lewis got robbed of his win in Malaysia, and while that’s true, no one mentions how Nico got taken out, then fought his way back to third in the same race

[nightingalecat]

Nico's strong side was consistency. People say that he won with less poles and wins - yes he did. Some win due to talent, some due to hard work and some luck. His father Keke had only 5 wins in his career and still he was World Champion due to consistent driving.

2014 - Rosberg Weak Mentality
2015 - Rosberg Broken Man till USA
2016 - Rosberg HUNGRY & Strong mentally

[jackwilspinz]

This season proves how underrated Nico Rosberg was...

[JWONG-puky]

The last time we really saw a championship challenge

[roryfraser]

I always smile at the radio exchange between Nico Rosberg and his wife at the end of the race. Nico had pushed himself to new boundaries in 2016 and he got what he had always wanted, the championship. Hearing him and his wife share the joy was so emotional because Nico is a really nice guy.

The best part of the race was Channel 4's interview with a very, very drunk Jenson.

[shivamshuklaaa]

Vettel actually shielded Rosberg from Verstappen who we know at that time would not have thought for a second before diving down the inside or outside of Rosberg taking them both out.

[MrYeezy]

Last year McLaren had two of the best drivers of this generation but unfortunately... they also had Honda

[footballnerd]

Watching this, I don't know how anyone can't be happy for Nico.

Shame Lewis fan boys had to completely degrade him and saltily call him the "worst champion ever"

[Andreato]

never liked hamilton, he shows sportsmanship only when he wins....

[JevanSangha]

1:17 "I don't think we've ever had a failure like this." Maybe because it wasn't a failure at all, Jenson... You just obliterated the kerb. 😂😂😂

[FeRiTYx_]

"Winning a race is luck,
Winning the Championship is not."

- Please stop crying about Nico who got "lucky". It doesn't matter. All in all Nico was able to get the title. So please, give him the respect he deserves.

(Also, I'm not a fan of him...)

[juanstubbs]

The last time Lewis had a teammate who could really defeat him

[zemi]

I still don't know how Verstappen end up in the top group after the turn 1 incident. An absolute stunning performance.
