The 2016 F1 season is often described as the one where the Nico Rosberg-Lewis Hamilton battle ended. This was the fourth year the two were teammates, and the rivalry's intensity had just reached a new high. This was also the only year that Hamilton eventually lost to Rosberg at the end of the season.
The result? Well, Rosberg became a world champion just like his dad was at one time, and soon after, he called time on his career. Over the years, Rosberg has been praised by many as the driver who beat Hamilton in the same car and in the same team with everything else being equal.
That has been a major part of his legacy where the driver has often talked about the kind of sacrifices that he had to make in his life to finally beat his arch-rival. This is also defined as one season that truly exemplified what Rosberg was as a driver and what he ended up accomplishing in the same car as the F1 legend Hamilton.
