Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy
Not a fan of holding up the race to allow other drivers to catch up and ruin it for Nico - found it to be poor sportsmanship.
I think Massa is a 'nicer' guy and nicer than Nico. So if we are talking nicer guy's, there is one for a starter.
As for holding up the race, Lewis had to use everything he had available to put himself in with a chance of winning the race, putting Nico enough places back to lose the championship. Lewis drove a great race. Nico could have made Lewis' plan fruitless if he had taken it upon himself to overtake Lewis on track, which he did not, deciding instead to hold position.
What I got from the post race interview (reading between the lines) is that Vettel would have been unlikely to overtake Nico and Max's tires had gone anyway. I'm sure the info about Max would have been transmitted to Nico.
Big shock is that he has announced his retirement. I guess he achieved what he wanted and it's time for something else.
Get Jenson in the other Merc now. Two Brits would be great.
