ABU DHABI — Lewis Hamilton may have won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, and he may have won 10 races this season compared to nine victories for his Mercedes teammate, Nico Rosberg.
But Rosberg, who finished the race in second place, has not only now won the 2016 world drivers’ championship, having earned 5 points more than Hamilton this year, he has also proved that he deserved that title, and above all, that it is still possible in the cutthroat world of modern Formula One to win with the style and grace of a gentleman.
