Nine race wins. Fifteen podium finishes. Nico Rosberg is world champion and deservedly so.
Lewis Hamilton, though, won't like to be without that title for long, and you can bet he will be hungrier and more determined than ever before to reclaim it next year. I can't wait.
See you in 2017.

Jenson Button's final race in Formula 1 was cut short as he retired early, but he's not let it upset him. I've not seen him without a smile on his face for the last few hours.

Roger Harrop: Lewis has taken lessons from Sir Ben Ainslie on how to win the championship - fantastic - pity it didn’t work out!
H Phull: Doesn't matter if he deserves it or not. Winning is winning at the end of the day. It wasn't just down to reliability.
Sonsofpunjab: It is like any league table in any sport if you finish top it is because you have earn the points throughout the season.
