Verstappen spins it out of Turn 1, but no contact with any other car or the wall. Clean start otherwise.

Magnussen is the first casualty as he's told to bring it back to the garage. Or maybe not as he's still in the car and the mechanics are looking at it.
Bottas also has issues that are getting investigated in the garage.

Shame for Button, his final race finishes early with a suspension failure.

Sainz's car is borked after rear contact from Palmer.

Rosberg has been on the radio asking for Hamilton to let him past. Vettel is on a push and Verstappen is somehow right in there as well after his first lap spin.

They're all bunching up. This could be an insane finish to the season.

That Malaysia failure for Hamilton proves to be the ultimate difference maker.

It was a long shot for Hamilton today, but well done to Rosberg for the whole season.
Massa picks up points on his final race.
I wouldn't call it a classic season, but I've certainly seen worse and we did get to see the emergence of young Verstappen.
Hopefully with the regulation changes next year, we see the other teams step up and provide a proper challenge to Mercedes.

just ended it on +1 WELL DONE NICO ON BEING WORLD CHAMP!!! it may be one of the more boring tracks to finish on but it was a great finish and fare thee well to felipe massa and jensen button mercedes have been vastly superior since the hybrids started and can't see that changing, but red bull and even ferarri have given them more of a push this season, maybe in two years the race for titles should be a lot closer you think hamilton will let rosberg touch him now we all know who wears the hat NOW!!

Super stoked that Hamilton didn't win the title. Hopefully that means we will see the Number 1 return to F1.

Rumor on Twitter is NASCAR is willing to drop the "Cup" title for their top series on the next sponsorship contract.

NASCAR has just announced that Monster Energy will be the entitlement sponsor of their top series, the All Star Race and will be the Official Energy Drink of NASCAR. They will continue to sponsor Kurt Busch's No. 41 car as well.
Notes as the come from Twitter:
- They do not have a name for the series yet. Nor do they have a series mark (Logo?) or have they decided on the trophy. - Existing energy drink sponsorship (like Noz for Kyle) will remain, and I think can be renewed, but no new sponsors may enter what is the currently the Cup series. - Multi-year with some options.

Congratulations!
You're the Monster Energy Champion! That's lame...and also is dropping "Cup" from the main series NASCAR's way of making sure that Jimmie never becomes an 8-Time "Cup" Champion?
Piss off NASCAR, Can't wait until F1 season kicks off again.

Piss off NASCAR, Can't wait until F1 season kicks off again. I wouldn't be shocked if they went for something like the "NASCAR Monster Energy Premier Series Champion" maybe be nothing but once the rumor of "Cup" possibly being dropped came out, "premier series" was what a lot were calling it. Might also help with trying to make the difference between between the Xfinity series and whatever the top will be since that seems to be a big deal going forward.
