    Rosberg retires

    That's going out on a high.

    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 in a Facebook post.

    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."

    The son of Finland's 1982 world champion Keke, Rosberg made his F1 debut for Williams at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2006, finishing seventh.

    Never saw that one coming but reading his statement I can understand why. That said I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in a few years time

    Not a big F1 fan, but apart from anything else a slap in the face for Hamilton, who comes over, to me anyway, as a bit of a prat.

    if anything its the opposite, he got lucky (or was he) and won a world title, he knows he wont repeat, a proper number two can now be brought in and hamilton can win a few more world titles before Verstappen begins his era
