Nico Rosberg has retired from Formula 1 just days after winning the World Championship.

What does this mean for Mercedes now? And who will win the 2017 season? My money's on Verstappen (although at 11/4 odds, it's not worth a bet)...

    Surprising move but I can understand him.

    He's earned enough money, won the Championship and doesn't need to risk his life anymore.

    He explained that his wife took a lot of work with the kid because the title was top priotrity last season and he does not want to sacrifice so much.

    I habe great respect for the decision and for him as a person - well done!

    My first thought was that Vettel may move to Mercedes but Verstappen may be top candidate.

    If that happens, we'll have a lot of fun seeing those 2 egoists racing in the same team, I wouldn't want to change places with Toto Wolf :D

    I must say that I've never found F1 anything but boring.

    Yes F1 is boring now and has been for years. The only major overtaking seems to be during pit stops. I just wish Motogp was back on BBC or Eurosport and not BT Sport so I can watch real exciting motorsport. I am glad Rosberg beat Hamilton for the title though, even though I am British.

    On the issue of motor sports: Martin Schanche, who was a leasing rallycross driver for several decades, just revealed that his biological father was a German WW2 pilot. His father was KIA in the last weeks of the war. I can't help thinking that a fighter pilot and a raceing car driver needs many of the same qualities.
    His father was from the enemy, but perhaps he can thank him for his career?
