I guess now the race is on for that seat. Wehrlein must be jumping up and down right now.
I think it's a shame. Was looking forward to Rosberg vs Hamilton next year.
Maybe those last laps this year pushed him over the edge?

Alonso feverishly looking for that exit clause in his contract.

I think it's 2 things...
A) A revitalized Lewis is REALLY hard to beat. Lewis wasn't driving 100% at the beginning of the season...and Nico took full advantage of that. If you're not in the car doing 100%, then you deserve to lose the WDC. Only major respect for Nico on that one for his hard work.
B) The time he took to work on himself this year to beat his team-mate probably took a toll at home...and I honestly think that he couldn't see himself sacrificing like that again for a 2nd year, so he bows out graciously.
I said before, I was "Meh" about Nico winning the chip...but I didn't expect him to suddenly retire either. Now I already miss him with the though of him not being on the grid next year.

Lewis' engine boom at Malaysia was the real deciding factor, not the start of the season. This guy agrees...

I don't think McLaren is the same force it was in years gone by. Red Bull have sort of taken over their mantle (along with Newey and sponsors)

I think McLaren building cars has really hurt their racing division these past couple of years.

2008: 2nd
2009: 3rd (Brawn double diffuser)
2010: 2nd
2011: 2nd
2012: 3rd
2013: 5th
2014: 5th (last season with Mercedes power)
2015: 9th (Honda powered)
2016: 6th
Development of the MP4-12C started around 2008 and was in production from 2011 onwards, and the slide of McLaren started in 2012 (with a car designed in 2011).
So there does seem to be some possible connection there.

Briatore says no Nando to Mercedes possibility. Boooo
And Mercedes seems to be backing down from their original position regarding Hamilton's tactics in the last race now that Rosberg's retired

Seems like they absolutely want some form of driver continuity in the middle of the huge rules change, which makes sense.
