Not likely, he had to give the maximum he had in him to win this season. He had a deal with his wife that he will devote himself to F1 even at the cost of being a bad husband or father and he will quit at the end of the year no matter what. So if he didnt win this year, he would have likely retired anyway.
@@MadeByPerspective To add to the conspiracy: Mercedes probably made sure Rosberg would win the championship so he would retire and they could bring in a second driver in stead of a rival to Lewis. This because most likely the rivalry between them was tearing their team apart... Rosberg winning the championship, leaving the sport. Hamilton gets a driver (Bottas) who just races to help him. Peace was restored to the Mercedes Garage. Everyone happy, (Well except Lewis at first, but his domincance in the following years probably made up for that.)
'The Ferrari masterplan beginning to drop' nice one there my man😂😂 Bottas's inspiration is mika hakkinen and is behaving like a wingman atleast he can take a lesson from rosberg.
2014 is underrated, we had Alonso outperforming his car (as usual) Pérez scoring podiums, Ricciardo's great first year with RB, Williams getting a pole and some podiums, McLaren vs Ferrari and of course Hamilton vs Rosberg, from the battle of Bahrain to the drama of Spa. 5 wet classifications and 2 wet races.
Became an F1 fan in 2019, but I rewatched most of the 2016 races and I can definitely agree with this video, so much drama and excitement all around. Loved it, nice video! 👌
I'll always remember 2016 because of 2 things 1. Rio Haryanto's debut in F1, made F1 back in Indonesian TV (for the few races he participate) and in turn expose me to the sport for the first time as a kid 2. Max Verstappen's debut in Red Bull Racing i didnt really follow it that year, only watching when i pass on it on tv. Its not untill last year i really following the sport
2016 was the first year watching Formula 1. Just being mind blown watching lewis and nico smashing into each other and throwing away the race. And Toto banging the tables. 🤣
I hated that season so much. Never seen a team this dominant. Mercedes was only stopped by themselves in Barcelona and a failure in Sepang, otherwise they would’ve won every single race that year
I would say 2016 was the first year I really got interested in and watched F1. I had been more of a NASCAR guy for a while, and I knew about F1 but never really watched it. Looking back, I didn’t realize how awesome this year was.
I think 2014 is more underrated mostly because it gets a rough time due to the engine sound and look of the cars. Overall though the rest was good. Championship fight to the last round, low grip cars that looked hard to drive and overall great wheel to wheel racing throughout the field. Its not better than 16 but from the turbo hybrid era certainly most underrated.
Wtf is that thumbnail change, now is CURSED The original thumbnail was Max standing on the podium with caption criminally underrated (or at least something resembles like that)
2016 was when i started watching because i was new to PC gaming and needed a new game to play, so i downloaded F1 2016. i immediate fell in love with the sport and became looking up race dates and times
people didnt like the elimination quali at first but nowadays it just makes the sport more exciting. especially since you cant just put in a p16 worthy time and just wait 20 minutes to put in a front row time. if you don't get your lap in, you're stuck in p16
Great season indeed. The title battle was exciting and so were most of the races. Even though Mercedes dominated the season, Red Bull and Ferrari could still challenge them.
This is why F1 fans do not like Bottas. Nico was not as quick as Lewis but was consistent and had his share of moments, which helped him at challenging for title. Bottas has fewer moments and not consistent and basically given Lewis free reign at Mercedes.
nah. this season had slow, ugly cars that still sounded ass, the worst qualifying format in history, and mercedes winning ALL but TWO of the races, and taking pole position at EVERY ROUND bar ONE. this was peak mercedes hybrid hell in f1. the only highlight of this season was max’s incredible win.
Best parts of 2016: 2 new teams A good looking ferrari car Rosberg won Drama Tense crashes Re-watchable season The last season with 22 race cars to date Quali format drama The conflict with Kvyat and Verstappen "You came like a torpedo!" Verstappen's first win The first Baku race
It's interesting, when you mention the Malasya GP and how it was when you said "Ok Nico is winning", it reminded me of the end of the Mexican grand prix this season, when the race was over and everyone was getting out of their cars I saw Lewis's face you could see his frustation and then I thought, look at him, I think he knows he is not winning the championship this year.
It was a good season. 2017 and 2018 were good too in the first part, when Seb was still in contention for the titile, often leading the championship, but at 2/3 of the season he would fall down. 2016 is the best season of hybrid cars so far then. But 2021 is clearly better so far ! Hamilton vs Verstappen, Mercedes vs Red Bull, Ferrari vs McLaren, the Ocon win, the several wet races. Only the waste of a potentially great Belgium GP leaves a stain. I hope the championship goes to the last race ! However, 2016 is far from the best season I've witnessed. I watch F1 since age 3 in 1998 and and 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012 were clearly better.
From the seasons I've watched live I rank: 1. 2005 ( Spanish bias) 2. 2006 ( Spanish bias) 3. 2012 4. 2021 5. 2007 6. 2010 7. 2008 All of those were awesome in their own way. And after those, probably 2016. 2011 and 2013 were enjoyable, except for the fact Red bull was insultingly superior most of it. 2017 and 2018 were very predictable, not too fun 2015 saves from being garbage because of Verstappen. I can only remember Hungary and Austin off top 2009 was interesting I almost forgot 2014. Way out of my top 10. I certainly wouldnt watch that again Both 2019 and 2022 had their great moments although they werent too good overall To sum up, I miss 2006-2010 years. A new world champion each year both in drivers and constructores. Beautiful and loud cars, smaller too. Great tracks. No drs. Having said this, I love F1 nowadays as much as I did back then
Turbo Hybrid Era: 2021: 8/10 2020: 5/10 2019: 5/10 2018: 6/10 2017: 7/10 2016: 7/10 2015: 4/10 2014: 5/10 2021 was definitely the best season of the turbo hybrid era, but this video was uploaded when the 2021 season was just beginning after all. After that, it's a toss up between 2016 and 2017, but I would also go with 2016 mainly because of the championship battle until the last race. Ferrari bottled it up with reliability in 2017 where we could've had the best season of the Hybrid era that year. 2015 was definitely the worst year of the hybrid era and probably the worst of the 21st century IMO, the reason it even got a 4 was because Seb saved some of it, it would've been a legit 2 or 3 otherwise, but overall this era doesn't even come close to the V8 era: 2013: 6/10 2012: 10/10 2011: 5/10 2010: 10/10 2009: 8/10 2008: 9/10 2007: 8/10 2006: 7/10 Only 2011 was average and even then you had amazing racing and especially Canada 2011, arguably the best race I've ever seen. 2012 and 2010 were 10/10 seasons... Almost like they were scripted...
This is what F1 missed since Bottas took that seat at Merc. Put Russell there and give Lewis a real challenge and not a safety blanket. We all want a 3 way fight between the two mercs and Verstappen.
My opinion of the 2016 Ferrari was that it was one of the better liveries in a weak year for liveries. I don't love it, but it's better than the bland 2012 Ferrari livery. I think the later Schumacher era Ferrari liveries are kind of overrated.
Actually tom coronel predicted the Mercedes crashing into eachother and get his first win in spain i dont know it there is an english translation but there will be probably Edit: here is the dutch version though czcams.com/video/6xGrP0q2WPQ/video.html
Amazing? It was boring 1. Lack of competition. Its not fun to see a team won with a massive distance of nearly 300 points compare to 2nd place 2. Only four drivers win at least one race 3. Not many podium riders. Only Hamilton, Rosberg, Verstappen, Vettel, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Perez, Bottas and Kvyat are podium sitter while 2020 had 13 riders out of 20 had score at least one podium
LMFAO It was a terrible season, just like the previous two with Mercedes winning every race and only failing due to mechanical issues/collisions. 1988 saw a great battle between Prost and Senna, but nobody talks about the races because they all sucked balls, just like 2016.
@@MadeByPerspective well I'm a Hamilton fan, and I'm still mad about Lewis' FOUR engine failures -- the infamous failure in Malaysia, and the lesser known engine failures he had which caused him to start from the back in China and Belgium, and from tenth in Russia. If his reliability had been equal with Rosberg's, Hamilton likely would've wrapped up the title with 1-2 races to go... But yes, I do acknowledge that that would've sucked for neutral fans :P
People will me murder for saying this but this season had good looking cars, they would be even more perfect with lower rear wings
Omg finally someone else who agrees with me
I’m with ya. Low rear wings would have looked mental 🔥
Agree it would look great if they have today’s sweep back rear wing.
I was scared of saying this, but I agree. The 2016 Mercedes is my favourite out of all of them
2017 cars were perfect for me :/
Why 2016 was a great season in short:
Hamilton didn't win again
That, the Spanish GP and the Malaysian GP were the only good things.

2021: 8/10
2020: 5/10
2019: 5/10
2018: 6/10
2017: 7/10
2016: 7/10
2015: 4/10
2014: 5/10
2021 was definitely the best season of the turbo hybrid era, but this video was uploaded when the 2021 season was just beginning after all. After that, it's a toss up between 2016 and 2017, but I would also go with 2016 mainly because of the championship battle until the last race. Ferrari bottled it up with reliability in 2017 where we could've had the best season of the Hybrid era that year.
2015 was definitely the worst year of the hybrid era and probably the worst of the 21st century IMO, the reason it even got a 4 was because Seb saved some of it, it would've been a legit 2 or 3 otherwise, but overall this era doesn't even come close to the V8 era:
2013: 6/10
2012: 10/10
2011: 5/10
2010: 10/10
2009: 8/10
2008: 9/10
2007: 8/10
2006: 7/10
Only 2011 was average and even then you had amazing racing and especially Canada 2011, arguably the best race I've ever seen. 2012 and 2010 were 10/10 seasons... Almost like they were scripted...
It was a great year! It proved to me that Hamilton is not the GOAT 🐐 and Nico was awesome.🏁

hi sam
Hey!
Everyone forgets how many bloody problems with the car Lewis had that season
No a lot of salty Lewis fans do.
@@leroyrs what
@@saltbjorndo remember
Tbh i cant believe the red bulls weren't penalized at that mexican gp
This is what F1 missed since Bottas took that seat at Merc. Put Russell there and give Lewis a real challenge and not a safety blanket. We all want a 3 way fight between the two mercs and Verstappen.
This is the best hybrid Era season(alongside 2020 and this year)
I see... you made this video 7 months too early.
Didn't know Donnarumma was an aussie
That white on the Ferrari made it one of the worst Ferrari liveries ever
Hahah they did go a bit overboard
I honestly liked it, at least it’s not a red car with sponsors like what we had for the past 3 years
My opinion of the 2016 Ferrari was that it was one of the better liveries in a weak year for liveries. I don't love it, but it's better than the bland 2012 Ferrari livery. I think the later Schumacher era Ferrari liveries are kind of overrated.
Max Max Max Super Max Max
Super super Max 🦁
This was my first full season
So if Lewis didn’t have the engine failure he would have won the championship
Maybe
Actually tom coronel predicted the Mercedes crashing into eachother and get his first win in spain i dont know it there is an english translation but there will be probably
Edit: here is the dutch version though czcams.com/video/6xGrP0q2WPQ/video.html
Amazing? It was boring
1. Lack of competition. Its not fun to see a team won with a massive distance of nearly 300 points compare to 2nd place
2. Only four drivers win at least one race
3. Not many podium riders. Only Hamilton, Rosberg, Verstappen, Vettel, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Perez, Bottas and Kvyat are podium sitter while 2020 had 13 riders out of 20 had score at least one podium
LMFAO
It was a terrible season, just like the previous two with Mercedes winning every race and only failing due to mechanical issues/collisions.
1988 saw a great battle between Prost and Senna, but nobody talks about the races because they all sucked balls, just like 2016.
Would've been more amazing if the right driver had won the title 😒
I love Nico m8
@@MadeByPerspective well I'm a Hamilton fan, and I'm still mad about Lewis' FOUR engine failures -- the infamous failure in Malaysia, and the lesser known engine failures he had which caused him to start from the back in China and Belgium, and from tenth in Russia. If his reliability had been equal with Rosberg's, Hamilton likely would've wrapped up the title with 1-2 races to go...
But yes, I do acknowledge that that would've sucked for neutral fans :P
The right driver won it 😀
@@priyabratadash4273 no, Rosberg benefitted from a ridiculous amount of reliability luck
Still sour grapes...:)
