Re: Nico Rosberg - 2016 World Champion

Congrats Nico. Was really happy to see him take the championship.

Hamilton will probably now know what Massa felt. Hamilton's season is similar to Massa's '08 with some poor reliability, winning most races in season but still just coming up short.

Re: Albert Park

Most of Australia's tracks are backwater paddocks and complete and utter rubbish. An F1 car could get around nearly all of our circuits in well under a minute (even our V8 supercars can). Bathurst and Phillip Island are only international grade permanent tracks we have.
