    I feel like Nico is out of racing for the foreseeable future.

    I can't help but feel a bit...cheated somehow. I'm sure I shouldn't, but I just started watching F1 in 2014 and was a supporter of his since then. I was thinking after all this he would defend his title--I always considered him the one on Mercedes who was focussed on and involved in racing and being in the car, only to see him leave the playground once he barely scrambled to the top of the jungle gym.

    I definitely understand his motivation for leaving but just feels a bit hollow after all this. I'm sure a part of it is knowing the likelihood of a repeat championship win is very low when racing against Lewis, so why not quit when you make it to the top and enjoy your millions at 31 years old with your wife and young child. Easy to forget the risks they take out there and the toll it takes.

    But I am very happy for him having won--seems like he's always struggled to be the winner racing Lewis and he knows it.
