Chris Froome should be in with a shout...

You've never ridden i take it?
AJ spear headed British boxings rejuvenation, and beat one of boxings all time greats, Unifying three championships in the process (the first to do that in his weight division in years).
No other Brit has ever done what Hamilton has done.
Its very close, not clear cut for either of them.
Vettel had 0 wins last year. Now he has 4, with 4 Grand Prixs to go. A positive season after all.
My boy Lewis - 4 time world champion. Unbelievable achievement, I'm proud of the lad.
That was tense though!

He should, I'd even say he should win it but you know what SPOTY is like. Popularity of the sport and sportsperson come in to it. I can see Joshua winning it.
Verstappen gonna be a handful next season for everyone!
I think that result could change our Fantasy League a bit.
A solid bet for 3rd IMO.
Froome should be a shoe in tbh but he doesn’t have the love of the British people.
good points , Froome is also a good shout.
I agree with you, Froome has done things this year which won't be repeated for another 20-30 years if the previous records was anything to go by.
Get in there Lewis!
Vettel has had a very scrappy season, over-aggression has cost him so many points. All in all a good title battle, if Red Bull improve again and the McLaren is as good as Alonso says I reckon next year could be a 3 way team battle with perhaps McLaren nosing in there too.

Wasted to a point where I called Lewis 'Louis' twice within ten minutes

Congrats to Lewis, not the best way to win it but he's driven fantastically well this season and thoroughly deserves the championship.
But my oh my, if only Alonso/Mclaren had an engine - they would rattle some cages!
Vettel paid heavily for his aggression on the first few corners, but I guess he had no choice at that point so fair enough.
Looking forward to next year, I've a feeling it will be closer than this one as the teams seem to be converging on a performance high point and (I'm hoping) Mclaren will wade in.

Vettel self destruct on the opening lap. Did he go into the back of two cars?
I scored well again, I think I should have just enough to hold onto top spot for now. Very close at the top, mind. We'll certainly be having a better end to the season than the actual title race.
I thought my Ric gamble was going to pay off for a while and then blamo.
Next year could be amazing if Renault do ok. Ham, Vet, Alo and Ver all superb drivers.

Pretty interesting comparison of Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton

All 3 have amazing records. Nothing worse than 3rd for any of them if you ignore Schumacher's comeback. Schumacher was also at 4 wins at 32y/o but won 5, 6, and 7 the following 3 years. I can't see Hamilton doing that with the competition around.

Apparently he's still bitter about last year. Couldn't stop taking shots at Nico during the year and did so again today. Very unsportsmanlike. Even more so when Nico made a video congratulating him.
Sky obviously won't cover it because it wouldn't fit their agenda of Lewis is a Saint when he can be one of the biggest as****** in F1.
Contact with Vers, front wing damaged, understeer + Hamilton braking a little because of contact with Vers - - > contact between Vettel and Hamilton.

So yes?
They did.
They did and the Facebook F1 feed is about to explode.
I am a huge Lewis fan , please that he has won , for me one of the greatest F1 drivers I have seen, but I also agree he can be one of the biggest as********in F1
Very impressive season from Lewis, been great to see him cementing his place among the all-time greats. Not sure how many more championships he's got in him... Verstappen and Red Bull could be the ones to beat next year, especially if Merc switch to a low rake setup as expected, and I don't think his next contract will take him past 2020 (if he even signs one). Would be sweet if he could match Fangio though.
I don't mean report it, as the quote is from the sky twitter feed....
I mean cover it as in talk about it and discuss it at length like they do for every other thing not Lewis or Palmer related.
I meant cover it and talk about it at length, not just report it.
Discuss at length why? Max’s win and Lewis 4th title might have been more important. Plus it was clearly at the end of the broadcast.
Oops.
He didn’t do anything wrong ffs
See above you lunatic
Goid to see some sense at last.
Really
Feck me i hope i see white txt.
Yes.
Congratulations Hamilton. I missed the start of the race so when I saw Hamilton P19 I was like YES! Then saw Vettel P15 and I knew the fight was over. Great comeback by vettel still.
Pretty good fight this year by vettel but 2 races ended his championship, the margins are fine.
Next year is going to be interesting. If that red bull has a decent engine in it I’d expect max and ricciardo to also be up there.
Hamilton 4 times champion, amazing achievement. He is catching schumi fast which pains me to see. Great driver. To me Alonso is still the best driver on that starting grid. But Hamilton is definitely up there with him.

Lewis to get a knighthood after this?
You win Tour de France once and you can get one but four-time F1 world champ and no recognition?

You are forgetting the small matter of Wiggins's eight Olympic medals, five of which are gold.
The state of you actually believing that’s what I think.
A handful and a hazard.
Christ he's a bellend. Can't even win well.
Pfff. He's a champion, champions only really rarely come without some sort of edge. All of Schumacher, Alonso and Vettel have had their 'unsportsmanlike' moments, it's part of what drives them to be the best.
Very happy for Lewis and Mercedes.

What are the viewing figures like for F1 like in the UK? I don't know anyone who has any interest in the sport.
I find Hamilton very difficult to like, comes across very cold and lacks any sort of charisma.
