He did everything he needed to as he took a hard-fought second place, to clinch his first world title and to emulate his illustrious father Keke’s 1982 feat. In 2014 it was where his world championship ambitions first faded, and last year despite victory it was another reminder that his Mercedes team mate was the top dog. Of course if that doesn't work there are a range of other options.For the past two years Abu Dhabi has been a hard place for Nico Rosberg. The team's opinion is unanimous, while Noble, who once again dons his Mercedes team boss cap, suggests a quiet word in the new year is all that is really necessary to calm things inside the team. Did he overstep the mark, play to the letter of the law or bring the sport into some sort of disrepute. Of course there's no escaping discussing Hamilton's performance in Abu Dhabi. After more than 300 grands prix there will be no Jenson Button on the grid in 2017, nor Felipe Massa - two drivers who enjoyed successful careers in a sport which has been so brutal to so many. If Verstappen's career has Chris Balfe, Max Noble and Mat Coch salivating in anticipation, the retirement of two of the sport's most popular drivers has them reminiscing and somewhat misty-eyed. The general consensus is varying degrees of 'bloody good', which in turn poses a raft of new questions, such as what does it mean for Daniel Ricciardo's career, and Lewis Hamilton's ego. It's been a few weeks since the guys last caught up, but they get straight back in the groove as they discuss the merits of Max Verstappen, and try to quantify just how good he really is.
