As a huge Hamilton fan, my thoughts are:
1) Kudos to Nico for the championship. He played it safe and smart and did what he had to do. A true racer, he's not
2) Mad respect for any athlete who walks out at the top of their game
3) No athlete who believes they can still win or have what it takes will ever walk away
4) See #2 and #3 above, Nico knows he got lucky this year and he knows he doesn't stand a chance ever again against Lewis or the improving competition from RB and Ferrari and maybe even Mclaren next year. Smart man to walk away on top while he can.
5) As a Hamilton fan, it would have been nice for Hamilton to retake the crown back from Nico on track next year. But Hamilton doesn't need to prove anything. Everyone knows he's faster anyway. He will finish his career with 5 or maybe 6 world championships.
