    World champion Nico Rosberg has announced he has retired from Formula 1 with immediate effect.

    The 31-year-old German won his first world title on Sunday, beating Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton by finishing second in the final race in Abu Dhabi.
    "I have climbed my mountain, I am on the peak, so this feels right," Rosberg said.
    Rosberg won nine of this season's 21 grands prix, beating three-time champion Hamilton by five points.
    "For 25 years in racing, it has been my dream, my 'one thing' to become Formula 1 world champion," he added.
    "Through the hard work, the pain, the sacrifices, this has been my target. And now I've made it."

    Every driver in F1 under contract is checking for an escape clause.

    About time.

    The man was instrumental in building the sport. But, his behavior and decisions over the last decade have been detrimental.

    It made Bernie into a multi-billionaire.
    More accurately It made Bernie's children and grandkids billionaires.

    Prediction: He isn't gonna be here much longer.
    Remember you heard it here first.

    Now we're down to 18 cars on the starting grid:

    "Manor F1: Team fold after administrator fails to find buyer"
    http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/38772098

    Anyone want to buy an F1 car/team, cheap? Does SCCA Auto-X allow tyre warmers yet??

    Sigh.

    It was bound to happen. There were buyers, just not at the asking price.

    Bummer though

    I'm sitting here wondering if the bidding ever got over $10K/US. We could do that, right?

    Hmmm ...

    Now it's down to six days - unless you're on the "other side" of the world (same side as the race), where it's seven days away.
