Formula 1 World Champion is determined

The season of Formula 1 is completed: Finally at the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates the world champion was announced. The winner was Lewis Hamilton-Mercedes AMGteam, for 29-year-old racer this triumph was the second one in his career. He won his first title in 2008 at that time he presented McLaren. Before the race Hamilton outpaced his only rival and teammate Nico Rosberg by 17points, but the rule of double points at the final Grand Prix did not allow the British to relax. For a guaranteed victory in the individual event Lewis needed to get to the finish on the second line. Even the third position at the finish would make Rosberg the champion.
Of course, for Hamilton it was easier: in case of total domination of Mercedes AMGteam to take the second place did not look a challenging thing. On the other hand, Lewis already had cases in which he was mistaken at a crucial moment and largely lost the title of champion in 2007. For the pilot with a temperament of Hamilton the conservative strategy is deadly-in situations like this the aggressive racers can have mistaken even on the level ground.For Rosberg it was a difficult task in itself. Niko had to not just win, but also to force Hamilton to be mistaken, even by mutual finish of teammates Lewis was unable to rise above the third line.
