This retirement ultimately decided the championship. In the Malaysian Grand Prix, Hamilton, who was comfortably leading the race, suffered an engine failure on lap 41, yelling over the team radio: " Oh, no, no!" Rosberg, who was fighting his way through the field after a collision with Sebastian Vettel, eventually finished third behind the Red Bulls. 275 lucky owners, having stumped up the 2.72 million asking price, will get to use this power on the road. The W07 took a scarecely believable 19 wins and 20 pole positions from 21 races in 2016. At the post-race podium interviews, Hamilton ended up being booed by the crowd, shrugging off the reaction and saying " That's not my problem, it's theirs." Rosberg was handed a ten-second time penalty for causing the collision, but eventually dropped no positions. The very 1.6 litre V6 turbo-hybrid from the all-conquering Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid will power this awesome machine. Hamilton tried to overtake Rosberg on the outside line of Turn 2, but they made contact in the runoff area, causing front wing damage to Rosberg and a podium loss to Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. ![]() In the Spanish Grand Prix, both Hamilton and Rosberg collided with each other and retired from the race.Īt the final lap of the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix, Rosberg was leading the race en route to a possible victory, but Hamilton was right behind Rosberg.
