      Conspiracy has it that Mercedes paid out the rest of his contract and then some to retire him from F1. Setting up Lewis to be number 1 driver without competition.
      Examples would be Bottas letting Lewis by on more than one occasion when he couldve have won.

    I’m not going to bash Rosberg. He finally achieved his dream and retired a champion. He made his own decision and no one should hold that against him.
    However, I genuinely believe we were robbed of a modern Prost-Senna rivalry. Out of any driver on the grid, only Rosberg went toe to toe with Hamilton. Albeit with the same car, but he also matched Lewis’ skill at times. While Bottas is a fantastic driver, it’s clear Lewis is the superior driver. With Rosberg and Lewis, they were a back and forth rivalry who were at each other’s throats.
    Now we just see Lewis driving an OP car while making it look like he’s playing against 25% AI.

      And don't come with luck Hamilton had more luck than Rosberg (massa Hungary 08, Rosberg UK 2014, Singapore 2014, Abu Dhabi 2014, Italy 2015, Russia 2015) I think that is more luck for Hamilton (6:1]》Malaysia 2016

    The 3 main contenders IMHO for the seat are Werhlein, Alonso, Bottas. If Merc want to play it safe, go for a guy they know, clear No.2 as to not ruffle Hamilton's feathers, it's Werhlein. If they want a driver that can take the battle hard for the champ and keep the RBs and Ferrari's at bay, Alonso. Of course, they need to splash the cash to buy him out of the contract. Toto is part of Bottas' management team, he's an established driver, quick, level-headed, good enough to keep Hamilton on his toes and maintain the team equilibrium. On the fan's side, for the show, Alonso in a Merc would be pretty awesome, since you can tell the chapter is not over between him and Hamilton.

The only thing is his motivation, but I guess it might incrase if he was offered this top drive. Having said that, I think Wehrlein will get the drive, but this is just a scenario I thought about.

      That is very true, but we know that McLaren will be in a similar position next year as this year. Mercedes may very well no longer be on top next year, from the sounds of it Red Bull will be up there with them. But Alonso said that he will leave if it doesn't get more fun so if he stays at McHonda, it could be his last year. Terrible luck for Hulkenberg once again though, I think he would have been one of the top contenders especially coming from FI. Vettel may be an option, he seems to not be optimistic about Ferrari next year but I don't know the length of his contract. Wherlein could be an option but I'm not sure if Mercedes would take him straight from Manor with only a year of experience.

    No one's been able to push and pressure Lewis like Nico did. Bottas has his moments, but they are few and far between. IMO, Vettel, Leclarc and Verstappen are the only drivers on the grid that can really challenge Lewis, if they had equal race cars.

    Smart decision. His image as an F1 driver won't have a chance to degrade, he'll always be remembered as "that one guy who beat Lewis after being faster than Schumacher". He would never top that.

    Ich bin jetzt kein großer Fan von Rosberg aber eins muß man ihm lassen, er hat auf ne ganze Menge Geld verzichtet. Zeig mir einen Sportler, der keine Dollar-Zeichen in den Augen hat und tatsächlich mal was aus Überzeugung macht. Da gibt es ganz wenige. Der hat Frau und Kind, genug Geld und wird für immer in den F1 Geschichtsbüchern stehen, vor allem mit der Entscheidung. Der kann sein restliches Leben in Ruhe genießen. Ein unglaublicher Luxus und wahrscheinlich viel mehr wert als weitere F1 Titel und noch mehr Geld.

    If I had to guess, I'd say they're going to put Bottas in the car for 2017. But that's just a hunch.
