An amazing finish, a true champion bringing the damaged car back.

Credit also to Alonso, for making it a great championship run in.

Congratulations Sebastian.

We had three drivers truly at the top of their game this year, in three different cars. Twas a great year, once they toned down the Pirelli extremities.

He did very well and congratulations. Pity he didn't get on the podium to be interviewed by another triple WC.

Alonso did a mammoth job this year as well.

Massa_number1 has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
congrats to Seb my opinion of him has changed alot this 2nd part of the year he has improved so much since 2010 when he last had to fight with the rest of the field

Alonso was driving on a different level to every other driver this year

You never know, but I hope not. I remember the Ferrari/Schumacher era. That became rather tedious, to the point that I would deliberately miss races. The only time I miss a race now is if it's on Sky.

Congratulations to Sebastian. He had his share of bad luck, but made an impressive fightback for the crown.

Could a 4th title be on its way?

I disagree because as long as the racing is good, it doesn't matter if a driver/ team combination is consistent enough to keep winning. Plus, there's a purity to it: if that's what happens, that happens. The rules are not impeding others from taking it too. It's not too heavily weighted in their favour. It just so happens that as a combination, they've achieved more over the last three seasons.

Indeed, if that's what happens, then that's what happens, it still doesn't stop it from being monotonous.
