He only needed to finish third to clinch the title after building up a 12 point lead going into this race.  He went one better and finished second behind his Mercedes teammate Hamilton whose first place win counted for nothing.It is Rosberg's first Formula 1 win and in doing so, hefollows in the footsteps of his father, Keke who ruledthe racing world in 1982.Joy and happiness flowed freely as the German was joined in his celebrations with his family and wife, Vivian Sibold. Talking about his victory ,Nico  said:
   '‘It feels like I have been racing Lewis for ever and he has always managed to just edge me out, even when we were small in go-karts,’ ‘He is an amazing driver and one of the best in history, so it is just unbelievably special to beat him. That makes this so much more satisfying because he set the benchmark and I took the world championship from him".

He also pointed out that at different times over the years bad luck has visited them all.
