Has to be Nico crossing the line in Abu Dhabi this afternoon. A worthy champion, and obviously very emotional.

Verstappen in Brazil - quite a long moment - although the overtake on Vettel was just lovely.

I think the one that will stick with me was Verstappen's drive in Brazil. He didn't do too shabbily today, either!

Memorable, sure. But championship defining? I am not so sure, since Rosberg was ahead, and could have gone on to win that race too.
Some championship defining moments were * Singapore - were Nico despite Ricciardo closing. One of his best wins IMO. * Brazil - where Nico hung on, despite being not at ease at all * Sepang, obviously * today, obviously Also Monaco could have been very decisive, where Nico let Lewis past (when the team asked him) because he was not at ease in the rain. Lewis then went on to just beat Ricciardo. Those 7 extra points could have been very valuable/costly - depending on your point of view And like this there will be a lot of race that had defining moments. What if ... |

Alonso's violent crash in Australia, pretty much the entire race in Spain, Hamilton's engine giving up in Malaysia handing the WDC to Rosberg...

By coincidence found myself talking to one of the designers of the Merc engine (The electric powertrain) at a careers fair at my old school the other day. They got some serious flak over that failure. Interesting chat on the whole! |

The Mercedes tangle in Spain. It's probably when Lewis realised that things weren't going to go all his own. Two teammates taking each other out is always pretty shocking - the last time that happened was Webber and Vettel at Turkey a few years ago.
It's one of those jaw dropping moments. |

Alonso crashing in Australia
The Spanish Grand Prix Ricciardo having no tyres at Monaco Rosberg vs Verstappen at Canada Rosberg vs Hamilton in Austria Rosberg vs Verstappen in Britain Hamilton's charge in Belgium Rosberg's win in Singapore The Malaysian Grand Prix - particularly loved the Red Bull battle, which was immediately followed by Hamilton's retirement, which turned the tide on the race that saw Rosberg spun around at the first corner... The Brazilian Grand Prix Rosberg crossing the line to take the WDC despite Hamilton's train of cars All in all I very much enjoyed this season. Here's hoping 2017 just increases the competition without affecting the potential of wheel to wheel racing we've seen from 2014-16. I would have to give my moment to the Red Bulls in Sepang though. I don't know why but I loved that. |

I thought Vettel telling Charlie to fornicate elsewhere was quite epic.
